The Bottom Line

All of us having just recently averted another end-of-the-world scenario (December 21st, 2012), I am inclined to make an assessment of the bottom line: We are all just trying to work good.

And how does this machine best run? Certainly not with sugar or any kind of processed "food products," let alone genetically modified organisms! Well, what about our minds? Does extended exposure to television or any kind of mass media massager offer the best way to sharpen our mental faculties? Hah!

So what do we do?               

We take control!

We must own up to and take control of our OWN eating habits and our OWN thinking habits and our OWN action habits because what we eat we become and what we think we become and what we do we become-- automatically, habitually and unconsciously.

How do we counteract this?    

Conscious, conscientious, and continuous practice!

Practice eating right. You know how, and you can do this: eat less, move more, and mainly eat fruits and vegetables. Don't just splurge on an organic banana instead of a designer coffee once in awhile, but consistently and persistently practice, practice, practice, taking care of your body. You deserve it. Get good at it.

Heed Hippocrates's advice: 

Let food be your medicine and medicine be your food. 

Be your OWN practitioner. You'll have more time and resources if you don't have to make appointments with and travel to and wait for someone else to "see" you. You'll feel better if you're not experiencing fat or sick. But if you are experiencing fat or sick, be extra, extra nice to yourself because you are in a weakened state and you need extra, extra good care.

If you're not the one person who knows and cares more about you than anyone else, then start being that person! Before you go to someone whose JOB it is to prescribe A PILL,

THINK! THINK! THINK!

Do you need that diet drink with formaldehyde-forming aspartame in your system? Or would a relaxing walk help you more to lose weight and feel better? Use your brain, use your mind, utilize that grey matter sitting atop your shoulders. This is your mind, this is your body, this is your life. And as the old Scottish proverb goes:

Be sure to live your life, because you are a long time dead.

So pay attention to what you're thinking. Start with what and who you're listening to. Is it positive? Uplifting? Fair and balanced? Really? Pay attention to what you're watching. Is it beautiful? Is it peaceful? Is it loving? Pay attention to what you're saying, out loud and to yourself, and how it makes you feel. How do you feel right now? Do you feel good? Do you like yourself? Do you remember often that you are equally as valuable as anyone else in the world? Are you respectful? To yourself and everyone else?

YES, YOU! And me. And all of us need to remember to practice good habits of eating and thinking and acting regularly and consistently and persistently with awareness and consciousness until they are our predominant, unconscious habits and patterns. Want a motivator? How about happiness?

Skip that beer. Toss those Doritos in the trash. Turn off the computer. Turn off the TV. Turn off the noise.

Just be still and experience the peace that passeth all understanding. Keep practicing and you will BECOME THE PERSON YOU WANT TO BE, the person you know you can be, the person you came here to be.

Turn yourself on.

Welcome to the End of the World...


...and the beginning of the new one. This is equally true on upcoming December 21st, 2012 and every day. Every day is the end of the old world and the beginning of the new one. Every day we all have a chance to say and to do and to think and to really feel things completely differently. This is the gift of the Eternal Spirit. This is our birthright.

Scientists agree there was a big bang and we all shot out like electrons from a source of power, a black hole of infinite possibilities. Scientists now agree we have a black hole at the center of our galaxy, the Milky Way, as indeed, does every galaxy, of which there are billions and billions. Kinda like the number of electrons in any thing. Everywhere, this side of on and off, and the other. Blink on, blink off, that’s what everything does all the time.

Just a few years ago black holes were just an idea. Now scientists have found them. Used to be the God particle was just an idea. Now scientists have found it.* Everything is exactly what the believers believe it to be. And we are all the believers. We also tend to clump in groups on the freeway and in ideologies. But we all believe in something even if it is in nothing.

Beliefs are just thoughts thought over and over. So we all find exactly what we believe—what  we expect—to be true. This is the perfect, holographic beauty of the universe, of our experience of it. There are as many universes as there are perspectives, though we all share certain aspects (our collective consciousness) which is what we must change. And we can.

We are all one, each part of the whole traveling on the same pipeline, the same electro-magnetic path, either upstream or downstream, depending on whether we’re resisting or going with the flow. One way feels good and the other feels bad. This is our automatic guidance system, which constantly indicates if we need to make an adjustment to achieve our goal: love or not love.

Today is the end of the world for anyone who chooses the path of love for the first time. For that person, even be it you, a new world dawns. A brave new world. There are rules, however:

1. Everyone’s universe is karmically balanced. You get what you give. You have to give joy to get joy. You have to give love to get it. If you weren't taught how to give love consistently because you weren't given love consistently, you have to learn how to do it. Only a willingness is required, and to set the intention.

Teach yourself or buy a book or go to a temple of the Eternal Spirit of your choice, be it a church or a synagogue or a mosque or the woods. But start with yourself. Love yourself. Even if you think nobody else loves you.

The Eternal Spirit loves you. Believe it. Wake up to the dawn of a new world, a new universe, a universe of your own conscious creation but also the real universe of unlimited abundance where the Eternal Spirit is sourced and where you are sourced and where we are all sourced and from where and whence we have never left.

There is no time, no real time, only a temporary perception of it hallucinated holographically to affect an impression. Again, the impression is good or bad, on or off, love or not, depending on each of our choices, what we choose to focus on, to see, to believe, and to co-create.

2. No one ever really gets hurt any more than we can hurt ourselves. We are all one eternally. We are all everything and nothing but flashes of light, infinitely fast, always everywhere and nowhere. 

3. Whether or not you can get hurt, you can still feel bad. This is an intrinsic part of our internal guidance system. It tells us constantly, completely accurately, whether we are currently resisting or flowing at light speed, whether we are in love or not. Unpleasant (or worse) feelings are telling us, in the simplest, most straightforward way possible, “Change your thought, change your direction, change your belief, stop resisting, start going in a positive direction.” This will cause you to feel good.

Conscientiously keep doing this, changing your thought in a positive direction, first, until you feel better, and then, until you feel good until it becomes habitual (usually about 21 days). If you fail, try again. Repeat.

Note: You will keep failing until you succeed. This is exactly how success in any endeavor is achieved. Do not be discouraged. If you are discouraged, think of something that makes you feel better. You will be given unlimited chances, eternally. You decide how much “time” it takes, since time is an illusion.
