Freedom Through Responsibility
Mar 10th
What if you were to blame for everything that ever happened in your life?
Every parking ticket, every break-up or divorice, every black eye and scar… Every love, every good thing, every victory, every defeat. What if all of these things came about as a direct result of you. What if you were responsible for everything that happens to you?
This is a tough concept for people to be open to, since most people have been raised from birth to be slaves and victims. “It’s not my fault.” How many times a day do you hear that? How many times is it you who’s saying it?
Why claim responsibility for everything in your life? Because that’s the only way that you can do something about your situation. If you are just a leaf floating in the wind, or a piece of wood floating on the ocean than you are and will always be at the mercy of the wind or the sea.
If you are powerless to change your life, it is only because you have given that power away. Most likely, you’ve given it to a hundred different unseen forces (friends, lovers, enemies, tv, advertising, commercialism, bad beliefs). And so, you play the victim, because that’s the path you’ve chosen for yourself in this life.
The way out of the victim lifestyle is to take responsibility for your life. Your boss doesn’t decide how much money you will make, you do. It’s not the cheesecake’s fault it has so many calories, you are the one eating it. It’s not your body’s fault for finally succumbing to the thousands of toxins it’s had to deal with on a daily basis for the last forty years, it’s your fault. It’s not the situation that made you unhappy, it’s you who chose to be unhappy about the situation.
So, what if you were responsible for everything in your life?

Spring Love
Jan 22nd
Just like water from a spring is love from the heart. No matter how much you give, more flows out right behind it. It is always full and overflowing. But if you dam up the flow and keep it from coming forth, not only do you deny others of life-giving water/love, but you deny yourself as well.
Love to your being, is like money to an economy… it must always be flowing and changing hands or a depression is experienced. Where there is no movement, there is no life.

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 
Don’t Get Drowned Out
Dec 12th
In a world that is over saturated with everything… from music, to the internet, to cars, to you-name-it… How can you make what you do stand out?
My good friend, Universo Pereira, of Red Carpet Rats, and I were discussing this in a round about way the other night… There are a million different companies all trying to sell the same thing, so what is it that makes the various products stand out?
For sure, one of the main things is marketing… how the product is sold and to whom, and all that… But let’s talk about the other main thing… Because marketing can still be duplicated, so what really sets you apart? How you make the product and why.
Reasons for Creation
Why are you creating this product (whatever it may be)? Look at your motivating factors.
Sure, money is going to be in there somewhere, but how high is it on your list? Chances are if it was the first thing out of your mouth, then you might experience some problems standing out from the crowd.
I don’t believe there’s anything wrong with doing something just for the money, providing your happy doing it, and it’s not illegal or harming anyone else… The only problem I see with it, is That’s what everybody else is doing too!
Not to mention, what happens if you don’t end up with the money you wanted? If you’re creating your product for the right reasons, then you’re still happy no matter how much money you have.
Stop chasing the money and let the money come to you
If you don’t break the invisible hold that the desire for money has on you, then you will be a slave to it for the rest of your life. This is why millions of people around the world hate their lives: because they hate their jobs. But they keep going to work so they can have money, because after all, that’s all they are after in the first place and subconsciously they know it and that’s why they can’t respect themselves, and who can like someone they can’t respect?
So how do you do this?
You do something that you would be happy doing, even if you never got rich doing it. And you focus more on giving value and providing service, than on making money.
Money comes as a result of providing value to people’s lives, and it will set you apart from the crowd that is only chasing that quick buck.
Even if your products are exactly the same, the one created with joy and happiness and a desire to give the buyer’s life value will stand out in the sea of consumerism.
True Love is rare, and that’s how you don’t get drowned out!
Think about it…
