Enlightenment and Horror

 

It has been an enlightening and horrific past 14 years. I stopped all medications for HIV and subsequently experienced a mysterious brain infection that began to consume my nerves in my brain.  I had encephalopathy and had massive stroke.  I lost all motor function, including my swallow and speech.  O.T. and P.T. therapy, as well as time in a nursing home was prescribed until I could manage well enough to come back home to our house. Since then it has been a continual journey of multi-modal therapies (Yoga, chanting, singing, volunteering, gardening, working, qi gong, etc..) to retrain and rebuild myself.  Now, I have regained just about all of  my faculties and senses, with a lingering and maddening aphasia, but I am grateful to simply be aware.  

Through my experience I can clearly say it is through accepting the moment as it is, and practicing consistent gratitude and self love are the main keys to healing and rebalancing ourselves.

New Video for the song "Heaven IS"

 May it bring you peace.


Heaven IS
Peace wash over your body
Fill you up, Fill you up,
Gonna' fill you up with ecstasy
Grace is washing clean your soul
And now, and now, and now you're whole
Heaven Below
Heaven Above
Heaven is ALL
Heaven is Love
Heaven before and Heaven after
Dancing in our children's laughter
Heaven is Joy
Heaven is kind
It's just a state of mind
Heaven is free
Heaven is here
There's no suffering there's no fear
Open your heart
Step out of the game
We are so much more than our name
Heaven in now
Heaven is All
Close the senses and feel God call

Don't Condemn Religion

Don't condemn religion, that is too easy.

Because like all things, religion is not merely a static set of rules,
it is actually what we are making of it now.

When we condemn religion we are then condemning freedom, and we continue to perpetuate the on-going war between people and their freedom.
And as a result, the arguing, separation, and violence continue as we fight amongst ourselves.

Accept all because no two beings are identical.
Each requires a unique belief or religion for relationship with the universe.

Don't judge. Judgment only obscures the truth that we are all integral.

Let everyone believe and worship what they want and the religions and beliefs that were

created born of separation will melt in the sun of one.

This world is about freedom, not about rules or bland sameness.

Let them be. Let it be.  Let them express. Let them live as you live your life.

Enjoy the colors and shades and tones, as these are the gifts.

Cherish all that you experience and then all will be cherished. loved, healed, and freed.

As nature shares, nothing is denied to achieve harmony.  All is embraced for harmony to be.

Bees and Angels

Though we do not see them; for a flower to bloom it must have been visited by a bee, just as for a heart to bloom it must have been visited by an angel.

Be not afraid; for we are never apart.

The differences are a blessing

The differences are a blessing.

Jack Kevorkian's Official Blog

I am honored to announce the unveiling of the first ever "Jack Kevorkian, M.D." website dedicated to the Truth. He and I are close friends and I have designed a website so that the truth and power of Amendment IX will be known. Please share.

It is not every day you can have interaction with such a person as this.

People mirrors.

Other people are not who we think they are,

they are actually mirrors showing us to ourselves.

Emotions are like a boiling tea pot.

Emotions are like a boiling tea pot. 

The more heat, 

the more whistle. 

The more steam, the more obfuscation. 

So the less emotional we are 

the less we react from our mind 

and the easier we flow from the heart.

Energy is neutral.

Energy is neutral, and it is our state of consciousness which determines our relationship with energy. 

Look at it this way. Here is energy, and what we "plug" into it determines the output of that energy. If we are angry then energy will support our anger.  If we are joyful then energy will support that joy as well.  It is simply the power of the universe powering our mind. 

So energy is not the question, it is our mind and beliefs that are to be addressed so that we open to the energy that always is.

As we forgive ourselves and become grateful for all that we now experience our wars calm and our consciousness quiets and energy is free to flow as us, like cells flowing freely through clean blood.

We are the answer.

When we stop asking questions, we realize that we don't need to know the answers to experience this.
Questions immediately obscure the truth.
Listen.... we "are" the answer.

It does not matter

Mattering itself

creates the matter

to justify the mattering itself. 

And so this is not a mystery 

other than this is all a mystery.
