one of the beauties -- and certainly unexpected byproducts . . . of digging in the past life vault all these many years

is the RECOGNITION that we have ALL, at one time or another, done some AMAZING THINGS

so, if we have done it once, or twice, or 6,218 times

. . . we can also, right now, in THIS LIFETIME

do it AGAIN

this is the greatest lesson I have learned after devoting almost 40 years to this crazee needle in the tiniest haystack search

. . . and now, this lesson is my greatest power
​
so, too, it could be for you, as well

Halloween is a time of ghouls and goblins and chocolate and originally I had planned to do my "Halloween" blog roll post this year (instead of my usual "come as you were", past life recall, as a guide book for choosing your Halloween costume)

 . . . on Hershey's and their continual usage of child labor to help create the chocolate bars given to millions of children on Halloween -- this after having their heinous practice brought plainly into view 3 years ago

yet, it still continues and a class action lawsuit is being brought against Hershey's by a group of concerned parents

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/09/30/lawsuit-your-candy-bar-was-made-by-child-slaves.html

Of course, this "bugs me" -- a LOT . . . as it should any parent

 . . . and the abuse of children in any form is never acceptable 

it is one of the topics sure to trip me off at lightning speed

abusing children and unsafe labor practices is not something any of us can / should tolerate . . . and taking advantage of one child -- so as to create something to make ANOTHER child "happy", well the irony of this seems boundless

and the tragedy even greater 

but much as that theme reverberates in my mind this Halloween, I have chosen (instead) to talk about DEATH

 . . . with a Capital "D"

it is understandable that we would typically "see" our bodies and our current "lifetimes" as a finite singular entity

we live we die

I personally do not believe this is "true", at least in the sense in which most of us might imagine it -- call it "channeled", a vision, whatever you wish

it keeps "coming to me", over and over, that we are high vibratory (and by high vibration, I mean vibrating quickly, not, necessarily, some "elevated, lofty spiritual" place)

creatures

although I believe we ARE lofty elevated spiritual essences, each and every one of us

these "spiritual essences" (the "who" of who we are) exist in multiple places concurrently

yet are joined as singular vibratory forces, all the same

if this is so, then Death is not an end but rather a vibratory switch in speed 

because we are both here AND THERE all the time

and much like the kitchen table is in actuality a bunch of molecules both independent and working together at the same time, rather than simply big blocks of wood screwed together

so, too, Death is a minor change in vibrational "direction"

the kitchen table could catch fire and no longer look like a kitchen table -- it "died" to that function and form

the energy "transformed" during the fire and went somewhere else . . . yet the table "essence" underscores "where it went"

and "where it went" was connected, in terms of vibration, also with where it came from

before it collectively "assembled" into a kitchen table

meaning -- we are already IN the place we go when we die, right now

the forms may change, the arrangement seemingly will "re-arrange"

but the finite form of the kitchen table, if viewed at its core, was never what it "appeared" anyway

 . . . taking this a step further then, "past lives" (to me) are legit 

(based on this logic, too) as they (seen in this context)

are simply clusters of vibrations acting BOTH as singular elements and concurrent harmonic patterns

like the kitchen table that lived for a time as a tree and, after burning, transformed into different forms of energy

the burnt wood later fertilized perhaps new growth, a new tree or plant

so past lives are sort of separate and not separate, all at the same time

just as quanta of energy are both here and there all at the same time, even though supposedly it is impossible

controlled experiments suggest this is the actual "truth"

sounds sort of nutty, I know -- but quantum physics also sounds nutty

bottom line -- long story short

WE DON'T DIE

our vibratory patterns "re-arrange" as part of an evolutionary journey

driven by who knows what for God knows what reason :)

still, I believe more and more with each passing day

that Death, as we conceive of it, is not true

the essence remains, a constant

forms "seem different" and vibrate with or against other forms

based on harmonic resonance patterns (throw a pebble into the creek)

but the song, basically, always remains the same

My goal is to always find the silver lining in every black cloud

. . . I am focused on making that "mode of perception" the dominant one in my universe

Many of us are surrounded by dark clouds -- finding the unicorn within (and being happy you found it !!)

will jump start good things in your life, truly

this is not the same as avoiding or denying problematic situations nor is it "creating your own reality"

because, to me, this is synonomous with "denying reality"

but, instead, it is about seeing solutions first, because there are opportunities for solutions
working this way, living this way

. . . will not only make your short-term situation better
​
ultimately, it will set the ball in motion to change your life, permanently, for the better, too

the past (literally) changes when you change how you look at it

and how you "choose" to look at the past, more than all other factors combined
​
influences what you will see in the Future

to change your future, change your attitude about what "happened to you" in the past

the past is like a set of clothes; we wear it and display it to others

change what you "choose to wear" and your future will change, too

a riddle, perhaps
​
but you "dress for the FUTURE" from the inside out

A film based on a short story based on the life of Dagny Juel Przybyszewska
​
I read today a short blurb about her which said, short and to the point -- "Dagny Juel (1867-1901), decadent norwegian writer who liked to sleep with polish men"

. . . Set in the city of Tiflis (now Tbilisi) in the early 1900s, this period melodrama about a mysterious couple trying to navigate their way through life and their relationship. Vladislav Eschenbach and Sofia Pshebyshevskaya play the artistic pair in Georgia before the turmoil of the First World War and the Russian Revolution take hold.

She is a painter’s model and a free spirit accustomed to male attention. He is her lover, a jealous poet constrained by reality and gravitas. How the story ends for the couple is never in doubt, but the film – based on Yuri Nagibin’s short story Three Men, One Woman and Another Man – is a rich portrait and incisive psychological profile of two seemingly opposite people who nonetheless try and forge a life together. Their evolving relationship is reflected in the vivid culture in Tiflis and the life they find there.

In 2011, I started talking about what I called "the exploding cigar" ending up in Europe

I said there would be economic "issues" and a return to politics in which parties on the FAR RIGHT would be embraced

at the time, no one believed me . . . but, sadly, it seems as if this is starting to happen

my expectation is that it gets worse in the coming months -- far right, ultra-nationalistic "ideas"

will get greater and greater traction in Europe in the months to come

a sad, and potentially scary, situation

in some sense, a throwback to the 1930's 

I "decided" on Sunday, while sitting on the front porch watching the moon being "eclipsed", that I would try, every day, to be in my "zone"

powerful, balanced, with strong "intentions" and in service to those intentions

each day since the eclipse, I have "set" a financial intention for the next 24 hours and every day, give or take an hour or two (at most), I have met those intentions . . . in what can only be seen as either "happy accident" OR the power of visualization (you decide)

. . . I have made more money, quite literally, in the last 4 days than in the prior month and a half

this is what I wrote that evening:

. . . all of us have the "power" to create -- yet most fail to utilize this power, largely because we fail to believe we "deserve" this power

that, more than all other reasons, is why "manifestation execises" fail

if you wish "help" this month with clarifying your intentions and getting your own ball rolling, please contact me for assistance

all work is currently done via donation -- please do a donation for whatever amount you feel "in alignment" with your desire to create positive and lasting change in your life

and we will set up a time to discuss "what's up" as well as look at appropriate tools to help you "move ahead"

this very rare "Blood Moon / Super Moon eclipse" is happening this evening . . . a powerful time to align with your natural instincts and affirm your intentions for a brighter future

-- I (Literally) have followed my own "advice"

you can be "fake" -- but you can't fake being confident

and without confidence, you end up being sort of a half-ass fake !!

*************

You can't learn to be "Confident"; however, you CAN learn what is standing BETWEEN you and feeling confident

at which point, you have the choice

to deal with what's in front of you

. . . or not
