Here and Now
What's right in front of you doesn't exist.
And yet what's right in front of you is all there is.
Your thoughts are The results of how you see things around you and interpret words and ideas you hear.
And yet all these words and all these things that stimulate your thoughts were not here at all millions of years ago and will no longer be here millions of years from now.
So in any eternal sense of reality none of these things are real mainly because they are not lasting.
And if we hold the ideas about these things and we are not lasting how can any of our ideas to be real?
Some people say there is a God who outlasts all these things in this God holds the ideas that are eternal. That may be true but if this god is beyond my ability to understand and beyond my ability to communicate with I don't feel that I get much to help me right now other than through the ideas of others going through the exact same thing I'm going through.
Others can tell me their belief in God helped them through troubled marriages or difficult working situations. I might hear those ideas and try those same things out. But there is no question in my mind that those ideas came from another man or woman not from God. If people want me to try to have faith that these ideas did come from God and not men, I would have to ask, "Why does God speak to some and not to others if this God loves everyone equally and gives unconditionally?" If this God requires me and others to prove that we are worthy of his direct audience for communication or relationship I don't understand the unconditional all giving part.
I have tried to understand it. Maybe this is a test. Maybe this is some form of punishment. Maybe this test or punishment requires that I endure this without really knowing why I was here.maybe that was to enhance the effect.
And yet there are so many confident successful people who appear to me to be spiritually grounded in the sense that they are much more open, accepting, calm, healthy, happy, and wealthy. These gifted and fortunate people seem to emphasize that ANYONE who is relaxed and open can tap into this peaceful and rich life.
I am here.
Sat Nam
I am.

What do you want to do?
What do you want to do?
How can anyone lead spiritually?
How can anyone pretend there are answers when ultimately it's all a dream.
It's all a figment of our own imagination.
And yet it's not.
There is something real out there.
What you call it and how you use it is up to you.
There are only temporary truths that help you get through the day.
Maybe being a spiritual leader is simply to pass on the things that have been helping you at the time.
But then what if that changes and you don't see the change and you are getting stuck in a rut and don't change. You keep beating that horse that already died as of it were the only way to carry you and all your followers out of their temporary hell. But you go nowhere. So people leave. And you either change or you stay in your hell where you and your followers are trapped.
Who made you the leader anyway? We are all leaders.
We can all be great followers or great leaders. What do you want to do?

Why do I write stuff here?
Why do I write stuff in this stupid blog?
Who is it for?
Are these just a scrapbook of ideas thoughts, art and other stuff that I happen to like once upon a time?
Am I supposed to look back over them and remind myself why I collected them in the first place?
Is it useful to think that anyone else could benefit from them?

Nothing good happened yesterday that I can remember.
Bit maybe I just need to take some time to remember.
Except that I got a nice loaner car while mine is being fixed. That's pretty good.
And I figured out how to make the difficult pieces of the online form to work, that was pretty good.
I got an email from a friend who is going to try to help with a delicate family situation. That is pretty good.
Everyone in the family seems to be healthy right now. That is pretty good
Lately meditation always seems to go well. That's pretty good. Very good, even.
I love having time to write, read, and learn a few new songs on guitar.

What Makes it Easier???
Why is it easier for some than others
Why is it easier for some to apply the law of attraction?
Why is it easier for some to accept themselves or to forgive themselves?
What makes it easier to say "I am deserving?"

Everyone wants to be happy.
Everyone wants to be happy.
No one invites horrible things to happen to them selves and their loved ones consciously.
Trying to make sense of the Holocaust and the law of attraction can be confusing at first. Did all the victims ask to be tortured and to suffer in the way that they did? No one could argue that successfully.
One way to look at it might be that the world and the people in this world can do good or bad things and when we are ignorant of how powerful our own thoughts can be. And if we haven't practiced using our thoughts to develop a more positive outcome then we can collectively be pulled into this vortex of negativity and an even more negative situation can overwhelm us.
Victor Frankl, holocaust survivor and author of Man's Search for Meaning, explains:
Forces beyond your control can take away everything you possess except one thing, your freedom to choose how you respond to a situation. You cannot control what happens to you in life, but you can always control what you will feel and do about what happens to you.
This blog has an interesting way to look at how to resolve tragedy and loss of attraction.

Suffering?
How does it do any good to dwell on negative thoughts?
How can one ignore and brush aside the suffering of others?
Is the only way to deal with suffering by doing it on an individual level? I. E. each person deals with his or her own suffering? And there is really no way I can help you our of your suffering except by being as calm, steady, and present as I can?

Is this "Karma" ??
Is it possible that deep in your subconscious deep deep down you have stored all of the things that you have done to others?
Is it possible that from lifetime to lifetime you keep your own tally in that subconscious mind of all the good things and bad things you have done - The good and bad that you have done according to your own sense of morality?
When you are confident and allow the universe to reward you…
When you lack confidence and don't allow the environment and universe to reward you…
The universe and environment are always supporting you.
It is your views and beliefs that attract or repel good and bad.
Relax and allow all the supporting energy in

Working It Out
Working It Out
I want to wake up seeing good.
I want to come quickly to see the good things all around me.
I see the benefit of focusing on good things. The more I focus on good, the easier it gets to see more good.
I am
I am here.
You are here.
We are here together.
How can any one be more deserving to be here than you and me?
How can wealth give you any more justification than simply existing?
Admission prices.
Front row seating.
First class airline ticket.
Private island vacation.
Private cruise.
Chauffeur.
Limousine
Five star restaurant.
How can I enjoy those things when I know there are others who cannot simply because of the price of admission.?
Your car is a great car. Brand new.
Other deserving people drive much much worse. Shouldn't you drive much worse till everyone can manage to drive a better one?
No, I guess I can see that my views hav certainly awarded me this opportunity. An by being deeply grateful for this car, I will bring even more opportunities like it to the front of my awareness.
I am a more do it yourself kind of person. I don't want to be pampered and isolated on a private island. I'd like to share the experience with family. But when I am clear about wanting something, I have noticed that I usually get it.
Family and friends are important.
If I don't have a clear idea about what I want, how can I expect to move in a direction that ends up where I want to go?
I am afraid.
I am afraid that if I quit this job, I won't make as much as I am paid now.
But I know that if I keep this job I won't have as much opportunity to make even more because I keep focusing on what is rather than what could be.
Dream and imagine the possibilities. Move in that direction. Build that dream. And don't worry about the money.
And there it is. And there it goes...
Fear. --> No fear. No worries.
Unworthiness. --> I am
Confusion. --> dreaming
Fear of things getting worse.
--> but then a knowing that things get better when you look for the positive.
Unworthy of getting to a better place - probably more a lack of faith in myself and a heavy reliance on the old way of looking at reality.
--> I am. Nothing can take that away. Even death? As long as I believe in the source energy.
Confusion. About what I really want. What I really want to do. What do I really enjoy creating. What do I want to show off. Why do I feel I'm not there yet.
--> relax. Look around. Dream. Create. Realize.

What if you and I really are God?
What if you and I really are God?
GOD! Really!!
And we decided to just stop in here for a bit and try out this human experience thing as separate individuals experiencing unique views but having come from the exact same source
Kind of like driving down the road and deciding what to eat and you think, "Oh wouldn't it be fun for us to stop in and experience McDonald's today? You know, just for fun?"
And, wow! Look at what can happen when getting caught up in the ordering from the menu.
What's healthiest?
What's the most exciting?
What's new?
What's familiar?
What will make me feel best?
What is the best deal?
Which one satisfies my deepest need at the moment?
What can I afford?
What makes the most sense?
What will have the best long-term effect?
What made me happiest yesterday?
How can I watch what is happening so that I make some more choices in the future?
How can I slow down and be more aware so that I am truly noticing what makes me happier?
What if simply watching my choices helps me build my faith that If I choose honestly and happily then I will truly be more happy as I build that momentum??

You got a lot
March 10
What am I thankful for today?
I have an app on my phone that keeps asking me every day.
Silence. Peace. Serenity.
Music. Harmony.
Ability. Work. Talent.
Creativity. Thinking
Light. Magical.
Food. Nourishment.
Comfort.
I got this music waiting to come out
But I got no time to play.
I got this music waiting to come out
See the light of day
I got this music waiting to come out
There is a fire inside
I got this music waiting to come out
Rolling in with the tide
But I got no voice
No way to be heard
I got no rhythm
Not even a word
Then a man walks up to me
Says is that what you believe
You really think
You got no degree
He said you think
You think again.
You got a lot
So much it's a sin
You got your eyes
Take a look at that moon
You got a mind
Now work out a tune

Can I really change enough to effect change in others?
Prejudice
Wasteful habits
Greed
Anger
Apathy
Definitely meditation helps and I am grateful for that.
I am also grateful to be in an environment that allows me to explore these so fully.

Sometimes the most spiritual thing you can do is to simply live in your physical present moment.
You don't have to escape or retreat physically and go to some nebulous spiritual place.
Simply walking peacefully and breathing can be the most spiritual thing to do in any given moment.
Looking for things to be grateful for
Counting the things each day that you are truly happy have come your way.
Food
Clothing
Shelter
Family
Opportunities
Work
Friends
Remind yourself every day how you interacted with these people or these places in a way which made you happy.

Gratitude 3-2
I'm so happy to be learning, and to be in an environment that allows me to learn, how things and events can all be seen in a positive light.
I am lucky to be here in this way that allows me to thrive in a growth minded community.
I am thankful that I can play and hear music that makes me feel good about myself and my life.

Just choose happiness
Just choose happiness
Choose excitement
Choose interesting
Choose
And know that the why and the how don't matter at the level of observing, choosing, and following your passion. That is for meditation and deep relaxation to sort out transcendentally or intuitively.
Simply relax and know that following your passion is the path to truth. Your truth.
