I just read about the self described witch who, via social media, organized the mass hexing of a sex offender. She said she had no concerns about the “Rule of Three (threefold return) or magical backlash.” That tells me she’s not an experienced practitioner. Every wish and intent you have for another comes back to you and your loved ones. It’s like gravity, it doesn’t matter if you believe it or not. Don’t take on the karma of wishing ill will on anyone. Ask instead for their awakening, their deepened compassion, and yours.

Why this affirmation works
A friend questioned the validity of repeating affirmations that are untrue, in the hopes of trying to convince yourself of something. That’s where people go wrong with their “affirmations.” You can’t choose a phrase that you know isn’t true. You choose a phrase that is a true statement of something you want to be made more fully aware of. I can say “in this moment I have all I need,” and it’s true. That repeated true phrase leads me to more fully realize that truth. Sure, the car payment may be due Thursday and if I don’t have it right now, I trust and expect that I’ll have it by Thursday. But I’m talking about right now. Not tomorrow, not yesterday. Can I pay off my mortgage right now? No. Do I have in this moment all I need? Yes, absolutely. And the more I realize that, the wider my eyes will open and the wider my mind will open to encompass new ideas, possibilities and opportunities.

When we step into our center
I sat outside to meditate this morning, in the garden to listen to the rustle of the bamboo. Several minutes in I realized I was sitting just off the critter trail. As I sat I could hear rustling and walking and slithering a few feet away from me. I went in and out of the consciousness of it as I would refocus on my breathing at each sound. It was a reminder that our essential Self maintains a centered, quiet and gentle place inside despite the physical activity that goes on around us. We can step into that centered, quiet and gentle place any time we choose.
Voices in the head won’t stop?
Can’t concentrate, can’t meditate because the voices in your head won’t stop? Remember just because they talk, you don’t have to listen to them and you don’t have to let it affect you. You take a breath and release the thought on the exhale. Do it enough and your perception of your situation will morph right before your very eyes.

Whether a sincere seeker or a con artist, the remedy is the same
I got an email this morning that alerted my spidey sense. It was a couple of hours before I could respond back but in the meantime I thought to Google his name and email address. I found info reporting former involvement in financial misdoings, fraud internet crime and a fugitive warrant as well as local court case info for him. But whether he’s a scammer or a sincere seeker, he asked me a question and the answer is the same. Ride out past momentum, clean up your past, expand your belief about what’s possible for you and refocus your attention. He wrote: “My name is xx. I live in DC. I have read your articles but nothing seems to stick. I will tell you my situation. I’m a struggling entrepreneur and i want to trade the financial markets. At this very moment i am typing this message to you from mcdonalds because of the free wifi. I am 43 years old. I am homeless and i am presently illegally living in an abandoned house when i know it is safe to break in(my town has no homeless shelter). I have exactly 0.21cents in my bank account but no money in my wallet. For food i simply kindly ask people at my local mcdonalds for food and if i don’t eat by 9pm, i look in the mcdonalds trash can for some food. I have no car and no job since my town had no bus transit. I filled out a few applications but have not gotten a job. It is just me because i have no family members willing to help me. I do not smoke or drink or do drugd. My heart is 100% set on trading the financial market because i have a natural gift at seeing patterns that work great!! But because of my situation i seemingly need everything!! Please help…i don’t know what to do.. Continue reading

Glad I didn’t believe every diagnosis I was given
I slept an odd four hours straight last night and must have been in the same position for awhile. For the first time ever I woke up with my body stiff and sore to move. When I got up, I felt weak and unsteady on my feet and was glad a seat was nearby. A few minutes of stretching and walking and I was fine but it gave me a glimpse into what some people may experience all the time. It was a deep sleep of complex dreams and my mom was in it. She passed a month shy of her 64th birthday, my dad when he was 62. Later I recalled mom had arthritis, so I figured it was her stiffness i might be feeling. She had an orthostatic tremor, which means she’d get spells of her legs feeling weak and unstable and she’d be panicked looking for somewhere to sit if she needed to. I didn’t for a moment think “Oh, I must be coming down with that, too” but rather it was a glimpse into what she likely experienced every day. I figured it might be muscle memory from the dream. Mom never discussed her ailments unless I asked, so they aren’t what first comes to mind when I think of her. She had several physical issues, none disabling but including chronic pain and anxiety. She took a lot of medications to keep it all in check so she could continue to work. She was a savvy, smart, intelligent, kind and gentle woman. She was always interested in medicine and worked at the V.A Hospital. It was easy in that setting to discuss aches and pains and get several opinions and diagnoses of what it might be. Unless it’s an emergency, I don’t go to doctors anymore since my experience is that everything passes when I eat healthy and stay in motion. In my 20’s and 30’s I had health insurance so I went for “regular checkups” and described every little ache and pain I felt. Whatever got treated I know now lasted longer than it should have since I was focused on treating an ailment. I’m sure I would have had a different life if I’d believed every diagnosis I was ever given. At 64, I have no health problems and take no medication. I live a blessed life. I have no complaints whatsoever.

My Samsung Galaxy S5 can’t take it
UPDATE: Samsung Repair Assistant fixes my Galaxy S5 — and my karma
Just did a factory reset of my Samsung Galaxy S5. After a year, I had to replace it because it kept dropping Wi-Fi. They sent me a refurbished one so I have no idea how old it is but the voice to text on it is very poor. Whether it is in email or in messaging or in Facebook posts, it will capitalize random words and it will get many words wrong. I’ve used my voice professionally for years so I know how to dictate clearly. It also won’t let me post directly from the video to Facebook, the videos are all pixelly looking. Although the photos are not large, it has to reconfigure them every time I want to email one. I spoke to several Verizon techs and no one knew the fix. One tech, Candace whom I could never reach again, was able to walk me through all the settings to make sure they were correct. No one else did that and it fixed a couple of problems. I’m looking forward to May 2017 so I can replace this phone with one that can handle heavy voice to text since my phone has to be a work horse. I thought spending this much on a phone would be a real upgrade and it has not been. Great camera though. I’d like something larger format because it is less important for me to have a phone small enough for a pocket than it is for me to have easy access to a screen I can read clearly and respond back right away. I’d likely get the insurance as well since if I had the insurance this time I could have replaced it with a new phone rather than a refurbished one. The refurbished phone they sent me had more problems than my original phone which only dropped Wi-Fi. If you have voice to text on your phone and are happy with its performance, let me know what kind of phone you have.

Radio preachers can be scary
I was listening to Bible stories on the radio in the car this morning. Some of this is some real fKdUpSh*t, generating needless fear. It made me think of the people who are comforted by tales of a vengeful God smiting sinful folks. Their life is so narrow and so limited and so painful that this is a comfort to them. Anger and revenge is an upgrade to the desperate hopelessness they feel. I have compassion that they have so little life experience they believe this is true and that this is the only type of life they are entitled to live — and that you only get one life.

Seth: Speak to the other parts of you
Seth has said something powerful here. This is one of those “secrets to enlightenment” everyone asks for but few hear and understand.
Seth: “When you do not know what to do, relax and tell yourself that other portions of yourself do know; they will take over. Give yourself some rest.”
That means say to yourself “I know there are other parts of me that understand what I do not. I ask that these parts help me understand, help me become aware of what I need to know to overcome this situation/ have a new experience/ or just be the best I can be.” Then practice relaxing into the knowing that you have set something in motion that you will soon see evidence of. Relax into the knowing that these other “parts” of you can be thought of (if it makes it easier to accept) as guardian angels or spirit guides here to help you with whatever you ask help for. You “activate” them by talking to them and asking them for help. If it makes it easier to accept, these other parts of you can be thought of as God whom you are asking in prayer. You might do this twice a day during meditation.
