AGENT OF CHANGE: MYSTICS HAPPEN Sometimes through no fault of their own, some people become Mystics. From a life-altering event, a disease, a struggle beyond imagining, a death, an insight, or a dream. Whatever the case - a change happens. The determining factor is suffering. To experience and live in a state of...

NO ONE IS COMING TO RESCUE YOU!

Let’s be clear about that! Seek your own council - Be your own hero, savior, knight in shining armor. Change begins within. Like the proverbial light bulb, you have to want to change. You could want to for all the right reasons. You don’t feel well, lose weight, your second wife left you for the third time, what have you. Change is good. It clears out the cobwebs. Novelty, or new stuff, is instructive. It attracts new interest. It inspires inquisitiveness. It makes the gray matter in your brain to wake up and take notice.  If anything it could prevent boredom. The Status quo is static and quite frankly - the same old same old - is death. Try something new even if it is wrong.  You don’t have to wait until you have everything you think you need or have to go out and buy all the gear and the best new bike to start riding a bike. Hell, go buy one at a yard sale, get your fat ass on the seat and ride. Seriously, when I see someone riding a bike, I can usually tell...

MIND YOUR THOUGHTS

Be Mindful of Your Thoughts. Part 1. There are four thoughtful practices we can apply to our thinking to help us to be more mindful and present.  They can be applied to what we think about the external world, the world at large; our interior Heart-Mind world, and how we think and feel about ourselves. Stop thinking habitual negative thoughts: i.e. “I am never going to get anywhere in life”.  This stinking thinking does not help.  Most of our internal dialogue – “The Critique” is negative.  Be Mindful of the habit of always seeing the proverbial glass as half empty.  Be grateful that you have a glass at all.  When you are able to monitor your thoughts and catch a negative thought arise, compassionately hit the pause button, and try to see the inverse, or opposite, turn it around or upside down.  Instead of thinking that you are not “… going to get anywhere in life”.  Think or say to yourself instead – “You know, I do not need to go...

Delicate Flower grows to be a Supple Reed.

When I was young a friend referred to me as a delicate flower because I appreciated the simple beauties that life had to offer.  I grew up a sensitive child, and later would be called an over sensitive adult.  In time the delicate flower grew to be a strong yet supple reed. I learned not to let life wilt me, or snap me like a twig.  After many trials and tests, I learned to know when to bend, and give, and yield to the circumstances that life would present. I had a poet’s soul.  I spent my childhood in my head, in my room, or alone in the park, or in the woods.  I adored animals, the natural world and felt in tune with the rhythms of the wind, and weather.  I had few friends and seldom ventured far from my room when I needed companionship.  That I found in books. I read Jules Verne, H.G. Wells, and the Encyclopedia Britannica that my father bought when I was very young.  Through those volumes, I could explore the world, the hum...
