The slow-rising central horror of ‘Watergate’ is not that it might grind down to the reluctant impeachment of a vengeful thug of a president whose entire political career has been a monument to the same kind of cheap shots and treachery he finally got nailed for, but that we might somehow fail to learn something from it.” — Hunter S. Thompson
This was a good experiment. “Describe what it’s like to be you in 5 adjectives. Name 3 things you and I have in common.” What do you do when you’ve been brought up to believe everything is black and white then you discover everything ISN’T black and white? Ignore the clickbait title, this video won’t leave questioning everything, you’ll simply be more aware that there’s more than the eye can see. http://www.globetoday.com/this-controversial-beer-ad-is-going-viral-and-itll-leave-you-questioning-everything/ I saw this video going around and ignored it since no one said anything about it to make me want to watch. The experiment is this: People sign up for an activity and project they know nothing about. They describe themselves on camera and are paired with someone with an opposing viewpoint. They walk into a warehouse and are given written instructions which they must follow. (They don’t yet know it but they’ll be building a bar.) They bond during the project as they help each other suss thru the instructions. Afterward they watch a short video, which is a repeat of their to-the-camera description of themselves before they began the experiment. They discover they have opposing viewpoints. They get the choice to leave right then or sit and have a Heineken and talk it over.
If you’re freaked out by the one in office, here’s some good news. I’ve learned that my supply is dependent upon my consciousness, not upon who the president is nor who my employer is nor who is in government in whatever country. How I think about my life and my employer and what I think about who is governing whom is what attracts advantageous or disadvantageous opportunities to me. At each step I have a choice about where to go or keep my thoughts focused.

What is obscene is not what late night comedian Colbert said but rather how the current administration is actively working to dismantle the Constitution. That’s obscene.
I walked outside and watched the almost full moon rising over the treeline. I could hear two cats facing off behind my neighbor’s house. I’m glad my good boy stays in at night. I noticed the “new” street light at the end of the block and realized there’s always been a light there, they just took the pole down and put a new kind of lamp, less white, more amber, larger range of illumination. It lets me see the entire west end of the block. I could see that end has cars outside. At our end, the cars are in the garage. If I had a car outside I’d probably want a light on it overnight. Ours has always been a safe neighborhood, most are homeowners, the few rentals always attract good tenants. Few kids. I feel safe here any hour. Of course, when I moved up from Miami in 1983, I had burglar bars installed on my windows. Trust in God but tether your camel.
A friend says her life has been miserable the last few years, that hope is a trap and joy is a lie and they only lead to pain. She said she has no reason to believe it will ever be any different. When you are having thoughts like that, and we all have them, you really need to pivot your self talk and cheerlead yourself on to be hopeful. What we expect and believe will invariably happen, so hope for the best and believe it is possible despite evidence to the contrary. Remind yourself on a regular basis via re- programming your self-talk. Someone else’s experience does not have to be yours. Your past experience does not have to be repeated. Remind yourself of this so frequently that it drowns out the voice in your head that says you can’t imagine anything can ever be any different. Then watch your world change right before your eyes.
When you connect with the underlying reality, you begin to sense and see karmic return. You begin to know the reason to only wish for anyone else only what you wish for yourself. We’re either all One or we’re not. Everything returns to you, everything — the blessings you’ve sent out and the prayers you’ve wished upon others. Make sure it’s what you want cascading upon you a thousandfold. We are all one living organism and what affects one ultimately affects all. Be mindful of what you are adding to the mix.
When you karate chop a board in half, you don’t target the board, you target BEYOND the board. When we practice striking BEYOND the board, it trains us to see past the perceived physical limitation. When we train ourselves to see BEYOND our physical death – even five minutes beyond — it demystifies it and shows us it’s nothing to fear. Wait, how do you practice seeing yourself BEYOND the body?? We train ourselves to see beyond the physical body by practicing exercises such as these two: Continue reading
