Build A Temple To Achieve Your Goals
Jan 15th
The Christ told us that our bodies were a Living Temple, a place wherein God could reside. Let’s use this as an example for our goals in this life.
1. Are our goals living or dead?
Consider what you want in life, is the end goal worth having? Is it alive, will it bring vibrancy and light to your life? What good is it to have everything you ever wanted, only to find out that the price you paid to get there was too great? If you’re not happy on the path to your Happiness, then you’re probably on the wrong path. Make sure what you want is indeed, what you want.
2. What is our Blueprint?
As any builder can tell you, if you don’t know what the building is supposed to look like, then you can’t build it. Who or what are you modeling your goals after?
This is not the place to be cheap or modest… Shoot for the moon here. Find the best at what you want and devour everything you can find about them and what they did to achieve the thing you want. An example… if you want to be successful in real estate, don’t model yourself after the agent from Century 21, model yourself after Donald Trump… if you want to play in the NBA, don’t model yourself after your high school coach, model yourself after Michael Jordan.
Don’t mistake what I’m saying though, you can still learn a lot from the high school coach and the local real estate agent, in fact, that’s a great place to start, but what I’m saying is pick a Blueprint of Perfection for whatever goal you may have.
3. How is a Temple built?
Here’s where most people fall away… It’s built one stone at a time. You create your body one cheeseburger or one vegetable at a time… you wanna know why people are dying all around you? Because they eat flesh that is dead… and as we all learned as children, you are what you eat, and one dead stone after another, they have created a temple of death around them.
In the same way, you create your goal one step or mini-goal at a time. You’re not going to become a millionaire, or an enlightened being, or an amazing lover and spouse and parent overnight. Some people are able to work faster than others. It depends on where you are when you begin. Some have more natural resources than you might… which is why there’s no time like right now to begin.
Where Is Your Bailout Money?
Jan 9th
It begs the question, what’s really going on here?…
They’re giving away millions of tax payers dollars… enough to where they could give every person in the US a million dollars each, and why isn’t that money going to the people?
Well my brother has argued that if everyone were suddenly millionaires, no one would work, and inflation would be insane… and that may be true, but let’s think for a moment about what we would all do if money wasn’t king… if we all didn’t need money.
My counter argument to this is why not pay out the million dollars to each US citizen as monthly payments, in such an amount as to keep everybody working (which is really all this is about, keeping us enslaved to money)…
Or why don’t we pay off everyone’s personal debt with the bailout money? The system would come crashing down that’s why… All the little worker bees (that’s you and me) would suddenly be free… Oh no! what’s going to happen to the honey production? How will our hives get built? What about the Queen? Who’s going to protect, and provide, and feed her?
We are not a Hive species… we can be if we want, but I think we are all happiest when we are who we were created by God to be… and that is the Children of God.. literally, sons and daughters of the Creator and independently Sovereign Beings. Sovereign, do you remember what that word means? Are you beginning to remember what it feels like?
It’s been a long time since we were domesticated into what we are today… Let’s face the sad truth that most of us couldn’t even feed ourselves if we wanted to. We think food comes from a store, or a plastic bag. We think of Nature as being dirty, and a harsh environment… something to be scrubbed off of us as soon as we get back out of it.
Let’s consider where we are right now in Human existence, which is at a cross roads… will we continue down our path which has us heading for worse environmental conditions… to the point where we could end up with an environment like the moon, or Mars, and we would all be living in giant malls (which some marketer would probably call a space station or some such thing)… or will we clean up our environment and work with it to create a Garden of Eden on the earth? We possess the technology (i.e. knowledge + tools) to do both, and we’re at a beautiful place to choose which path we all want to head down.
We have to help wake people up so that they can choose for themselves instead of having the advertisements choose for them. A pattern interrupt, if you will. Talk with people, friends, family… don’t be scared to discuss the path that Humanity is on. And together, we can create for ourselves The Golden Path, without the need for a Tyrant like Leto to do it for us 
Overcoming Emotional Pain
Jan 7th
After many years struggling with the pain of break-ups and other life altering emotional pains, I had an epiphany the other day that I’d like to share.
If something is causing you pain, Let Go Of It!
That’s it… It took me years to figure that one out… I should have listened to myself as a child with the stove. Let’s think about it though.
Physically, if you were to grab a hot pan, what would you do? You’d get it out of your hand as soon as possible, right? Does this mean you’ll never use or relate to that pan again? Hardly… it just caused a pain in you that was undesirable, so you let it go.
It is the same thing with emotional pain… you don’t stop feeling or loving or expressing, you just let go of whatever it is that’s causing the pain.
This can be difficult as most people confuse how they feel for who they are. You are not your emotions.
Pain is often a teacher that helps us to realize what we need to grow and heal… Hence, why we tend to repeat painful lessons over and over again, until we’ve finally learned them. Often we become addicted to the emotional pain/depression, and like a drug addict (which is literally what’s happening to your brain chemistry), every time we begin to feel ok again, we trigger a memory or something else that sends us spiraling into emotional pain again, and our brain gives us a chemical fix for that depressing feeling.
In the same way that a drug addict has to detox and quit the habit, if you’ve become addicted to the buzz of your emotional misery, than you’ll need to quit as well.
How do you do this? A Higher Power always helps (hence why it’s part of the programs NA & AA), and then you take responsibility for your thoughts.
When your thoughts begin to stray down a path that you know will tear open the healing wound and cause you pain, you simply don’t go there anymore… You let go of it, or maybe a better way of looking at it, is You Stop Holding On To It.
In the end, it all still comes down to healthy thoughts. Garbage In, Garbage Out… You are what you think you are… and you truly are what you eat (literally, it’s what your body is physically made of).
Much Love and Sunshine!

Viva La Resolution!
Jan 3rd
Hello, and welcome to a brand new year! Every year, around this time, everyone is expected to have their new year’s resolution. I’ve had the typical ones in the past: lose weight, exercise more, blah, blah… but this year, I’ve decided to step it up a notch, and stretch myself farther than ever before.
This year I want to say yes to the opportunities that Life presents. No more waiting for things to happen to me, no more passing up on things because I’m in fear that I might miss out on something else. I want to jump in the River and be in the Flow this year. I want to follow my heart and live as One with everything. I want to practice “You are Me also” in everything I do. I want to experience more in this single year than I have in all my previous 26 years of life.
What is this going to entail for me?
I’m going to have to stop living in fear, and begin living in love (not just in word, but in actual deed as well). No more worrying about things that ultimately don’t matter like food, clothing, and shelter. If I want to do something, then I want to do it this year! No more talking about it, or daydreaming the thing to death. It’s great to have dreams, but I’ve evolved to the point where I’m ready to create reality out of my dreams.
And what about you, dear Reader? What will your year be like? Will you end up in the same place, having gone nowhere and done nothing?
I often joke with my friend that there’s no way 2009 can be worse than 2008 (I went through a lot of painful growing), but it could be, if I don’t use what I’ve learned from 2008.
Ultimately it was 2008 that inspired me to live my 2009 in such a way. As a celebration of making it out of 2008 alive. And I hope I’m still celebrating living in 2010, but I’m not worried about it if I’m not
Whatever you’ve decided 2009 will look like, I hope you that you make it a beautiful reality. Don’t just wait for Prince Charming to come swoop you off your feet this year, become a Princess first, if you want a Prince. (and vice versa for all you guys out there, if you want the girl of your dreams than first become the man of hers)
Love you all, and as always, think about it!
