The Best Years of Your Life… Now!

It’s a dangerous place you find yourself when the natural progression of
your journey into self-discovery takes you somewhere – you suddenly realize
- no one else seems to have been.

Is this the thin “line of insanity” everyone talks about?

Where your thinking, rationalizing and expecting has taken your life to a place you
didn’t expect. Ramifications you didn’t want to consider because the need to discover
where you were “going” became your primary focus.

Consider yourself lucky if you manage to find someone who actually understands how
you got to the new “place” even if they may not understand what the “place” is. At least
you have the potential of a conversation… Maybe some much needed validation.

Am I right? Am I wrong? Do I continue or back away?

Every artist has faced this when jumping off the cliff into the unknown
with his or her art. Going somewhere new without having any “ken of reference”
is both scary and thrilling… But, when it’s not music, paint or sculpting, et al,
and it’s your very experience of life – and you have no one to ask “what do
you think?”- because they have never thought about it…

The realization that you may be “the first” to begin the process of pondering (asking the question) – you find that the only person you can seek validation from is yourself…

Am I “nuts” because I can clearly “see” the natural evolution of a thought process
and contemplate the outcome before the “manifested thing, experience or relationship”
has even arrived? Or am I engaged in the very “process of manifestation” – by allowing
myself a choice of outcome and then expecting and rationalizing it into existence?

And what about the price?

In the end, one’s sanity may be solely judged by his or her ability to bridge the
space/time between fantasy and reality – with manifestation…

To what end?

Maybe the experience of life is simply for us to prove the validity of the fantasy as well as prove the “process of manifestation”… Maybe anything really is possible and once you “get it” you don’t have to prove it anymore.

Until then you’re stuck.

Beware of the misunderstood and potentially dangerous state of “acceptance”.

When you “accept” something the Universe maintains it in your reality. The Universe is always working as a tool of your desire. If you choose to “accept” what you don’t want – it translates into what you desire! Sounds crazy but that’s how it works folks!

The Universe is always responding to where you place your attention. It its designed to translate your attention into your desire to experience whatever it is you are placing your attention on. It does not differentiate between what you “want or don’t want” – as far as “it’s” concerned you want everything you put your attention on – Got that?

This is a part of the “LIFE PROCESSING RECIPE” that is fixed.

The Universe always maintains the reality of whatever you’re acknowledging. Anything you put your attention on you are acknowledging and accepting as your reality.

That’s why the cliche: “Accept those things you can’t change” – is insane!

Never “accept or allow” as your reality what you think you can’t change. Instead, shift you’re attention away to what you currently believe you can change. Over time what you thought you couldn’t change (and those who don’t understand the Law of Attraction would tell you to “accept”) must also change along with the ongoing shift in your reality…

My own example:

A few years ago I lived in the downtown area of Helena, MT. I had a seperate buiding with a soundproofed recording studio in it. I’d shut the door and it was quite. However my house next door was like any other house in the neighborhood. And being downtown it was almost a nightly ritual to hear a cop car siren or ambulance at some point in the middle of the night…

Although I couldn’t change that noise I refused to accept it!

Instead I “intended” that one day I would live in a place where it was quiet. Quiet like the experience I had in my recoding studio. I never “accepted or allowed” what I didn’t like – the noise in the middle of the night as my permanent reality. Do you “see” what I’m saying here?

I didn’t wake up pissed off every night when the siren woke me up… I just reinforced that soon this would never again be an issue… And imagined a wonderfully quite place to sleep in peace.

I think I’ve heard one siren in the last two years in this wonderful quite place I’ve lived in for the last decade.

NEVER ACCEPT WHAT YOU CAN’T CHANGE!

Shift your attention to those things and activities which will create the reality you want. Never reinforce by accepting or allowing what “appears” to be something you can’t change. Maybe you can’t change “it” but you absolutely can change your reality so “it” is no longer part of your new reality….!

The realization there would never be another chance for a Beatles reunion was the second shock we felt the day we learned John Lennon was gone.

We lost some kind of magic.

A certain anything is possible hopefulness about the future. We all crossed a
line together that day. An important part of our collective youth would become frozen in time.

He was never going to live long enough to disappoint any of us.

We’ll always look back remembering John was on a creative life journey. He didn’t care what anybody thought except Yoko, his Muse.

We loved what he did because we knew his heart – because he knew our heart.

Thirty years in that zone. It would have been astonishing to watch what happened – how he evolved.

So how does this happen?

What director of a life movie says “Time for a hiccup”…?

Here comes the defining scene we all dreaded – on some deep level – that would demarcate us into adulhood. In a surreal instant we lost someone who could speak to the tender gentle childlike part of us – reminding us about hope and joy.

With ear worms we loved to feed our minds to.

We always took time to listen what he brought us next – a communal indulgence of little time-outs of happy.

It’s hard to believe a twenty something with a funny haircut and collarless suit jacket – who landed in New York only 16 years before – was going to impact us in so many ways. He still is…

Did you know all the Beatles music has been remastered and is available for download at itunes?

I’ll bet you they’re going to sell a lot of music today.

“Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeaaaaaaaah…”

It’s real – the fountain of youth…

I experienced it with someone special for a long time.

We defied time together. We knew something out of the ordinary was happening as we amplified our mutual exhilaration into a force that nurtured our dreams as well as our bodies…

The secret was within the energy generated by the pure belief – we shared – something was possible… The vibration of our ability to “see” an outcome transformed our DNA, and regenerated our bodies on a quantum level…

It was built on a foundation of love

A feeling of “being alive” unlike anything I’d ever experienced before.

An easy natural coming together of male and female energies into a third more powerful “inspirational” creative force. It left it’s imprint on my life as things and experiences manifested both individually and together – that stand the test of time… Monuments of significance – proof something out of the ordinary had taken place.

It’s when you suddenly don’t have it…

That sacred connection between two which unleashes the imagination and flow of creative possibilities – you realize that it’s the very – “something’s missing” -most never even get to experience.

Even as I was experiencing it – I didn’t fully appreciate how fragile the connection is. Easily broken by fear, uncertainty and doubt. The greatest danger: Doubting it is special and real.

So, we move-on into life.

Those of us who know first-hand the power of this magical connection – and those who choose to believe something like it may be possible…

How do we find each other?

No, they won’t bite into your skin and suck your blood…

Given the chance they will drain the “life energy” out of you just the same. The energy vampire comes disguised as a friend or relative – maybe an occasional acquaintance – or someone you just met.

They seem open and warm. Easy to talk to. Before you know it they begin to tell you stories of how they’ve been betrayed, abused, cheated, and misused. You’re subtly pulled in with the awful stories of how many times their hearts have been broken.

How difficult it is for them to trust anyone…

But, you – you’re not like all those others. So you think to yourself “I would never do that to anyone”… So the vampire’s teeth are slowly inserted into your psyche. Your healthy empathy turns into sympathy. And, the first time you “feel sorry” for a vampire – it owns you – and starts the long terrible process of imbedding itself into your emotions.

The vampires secret weapon is pity

He or she will make you feel guilty and ashamed if you try not to feel sorry for the vampire.

The vampire needs your sympathy. That’s what gives it strength. Whenever the vampire see’s you’re happy and not sympathetic to him or her – you will very quickly find yourself confronted in a manner that smoothly transforms your attention back to feeling sorrow and pity.

In time the first words out of the mouth of the vampire you allowed into your life will drain you of any joy or energy you may have. Even the thought of being near the vampire will have the same affect. You may even find yourself cringing in fear of having to face the vampire in any kind of communication… Just the thought is draining

Now the vampire has complete control over you

By the way, there are two kinds of vampires: The ones that absolutely know what they are doing and feed on your energy through conscious manipulation. But the second type may be even more dangerous and far more plentiful.

They are the legions of vampires that are completely unaware of their vampire ways! Always trying to get you to listen to them – their stories – their endless grim tales of life’s
bad breaks.

But the absolute worst are the “gunny sackers”

They feed on living in past memories. Using anger to fuel their unresolved memories as they replay events from years and decades ago. These are truly the “walking dead”. There is no future they can even discuss…

For their world is that cold grey nightmare world of “how dare they”, and all manner of “shudda and couldda” where the same life movies of times gone by – play again and again – always ending the same way.

But the vampire always changing history to serve it’s need for self pity – spins the memory like fine silk into a web of rationale that proves it’s victimization – again – as always…

So be careful. The next time your phone rings, someone knocks at your door – even sends you an email – it could be a vampire needing your immediate attention!
