Truth is Among US

Truth can be found anywhere, but only when one chooses to take notice...

T - Trust
R - Realization
U - Understanding
T - Teaching
H - Honor

With each new day comes a new opportunity to see through the illusion of life and see people and scenarios for what they truly are: chances to experience truth.

Most see or hear the word Truth and jump to the conclusion that truth is limited to their own understanding of a situation based on what their religion has told them the proper response should be.

My idea of truth is the absence of a pre-determined thought process based off of thousands of years of protocol, but a more practical application of experience and personal questioning of "does this help or hinder my ability to love my fellow man?"

Truth comes in the form of any form, any conversation, any walk along life's highway. Babies exude truth through their need for a parent's protection and affection. Billboards speak of higher ideals at times, sportscasters, street-walkers, books of faith, sunsets, a warm breeze brushing across your face, and even certain commercials can boast a degree of poignant, practicality.

Music as well as art, play huge roles in one's journey to experience realness. Words of a sonnet, poem or oration often have interwoven within them the very fabric to create, sustain, and fulfill one's need for experienced truth.

Use experience as your guide, let experience be the major player in deciding what works for you. Learn to trust your lived experience as the main ingredient for proof of some-things validity.

A nation of unquestioning souls is a crime against the minority and a crime against our God-given potential we all possess to be whole and complete humans be-ing part of our higher purpose - Realizing truth is everywhere, in everything, and amongst even the illusion of untruth.

Every moment of our lives we as people are actually 3 distinct yet unified beings: what we were, what we are, and who we choose to be relative to our surroundings and our desired environment... Thus, every moment of life is a moment of definition and creation through experience.

Embrace the "down," knowing full and well that the "up" would not be possible without its counterpart.

Desire choice, desire experiences both good and bad, desire to be part of something beneath and above you - If you live for the purpose of experiencing these things in your everyday life, your steps towards enlightenment will transform into a path towards the experience of a lifetime!

Peace and ongoing love,

From Dreams to Reality.

“Our truest life is when we are in dreams awake.”
- Henry David Thoreau

The night is the time our brains are allowed to slow down from the fast pace of daily life, it’s in these slumbering hours that our minds are set free to think and process the day’s information and where it will lead us upon our predestined awakening. When we dream we’re actually subconsciously processing all the entertained energy from the day we just passed on from. In a sense: at night we’re evolving the way we thought throughout the day even while not purposely thinking.

The dream is what interests me, what’s in a dream that leaves an imprint that lasts into conscious movement?

We all have had indelible dreams over our lifetime, whether they were while sleeping or during the process of daydreaming, these dreams leave us convinced with the notion that anything is possible. So why when we as people “wake up” do we think that awakening means distrusting the awesome opportunity we all have, to not only realize the power of our dreams, but also their incredible truth-promoting essence? Why do we spend most of our day disproving our dreams and their chance of happening? Why is there so much doubt in the alert hours and so much trusted promise during the hours of our slumber?

There’s power in our dreams, the power to be who we truly want to be accompanied with the tools necessary to accomplish the process of creation. I often awake in the midst of deep-sleep feeling energized and inspired because before my eyes opened I was soaring with the eagles or sailing within the confines of an open and limitless wind. I awake knowing anything is possible, any dream is attainable, any goal warranted, and any summit climbable. As the day moves along at the pace of life I often stop entertaining the power of the promise that my dreams contained and instead I substitute thoughts of inadequacy and limited production. How can we be so sure of our potential when we wake but so scared of a confining world when we close our eyes at the end of the day’s wakening thought?

It’s in our dreams that we come the closest to who we were created to be, it’s when our soul is at its freest. The trick is carrying on the dreams throughout our everyday walk and incorporating their energy from step to step. Those who dare to continue dreaming throughout the day are the only people who will ever believe that their human potential is limitless.

If you dream something, whatever it is, the act of believing it’s possible is the same creative power that your God used to create the world we find ourselves in.  Anything accomplished in life started as someone’s dream, from a dream spawned thought, from thought spawned action; this is the creation process for anything we hold true, for now and everything to come in the future- dream, thought, action!

If there’s something you want in life, someone you wish to be like, any goal you desire, start by allowing yourself to entertain the thoughts of your previous night’s or day’s dream. Meditate on it, visualize what it would be like to have that thing or to be that person, imagine how it would feel or smell or what it would taste like. Make your dream an everyday, conscious exercise of awareness, and your dreams will have no choice but to become your reality.

Anything in life is yours for the creating, who is it you want to be? What is it you wish to have? Who do you desire to affect? Where do you want to be standing? All things are possible if you first believe in your created worth. Next, allow yourself to dream dreams of greatness, then prepare yourself to fully entertain those dreams throughout your daily walk of life. *If you believe in this creation process, life is anything but mundane.

I believe in everyone of you because I know we all came from the same place of ultimate potential and all we’re doing on this Earth is trying to re-member with this realization. We are all great when we believe in our greatness, until then we are left wondering “when” and “why” instead of knowing “who” and “because of what.”

As always, I have trust in your ability to be great!

Free to Walk as we Choose

Seek help with patience and prayer: A hard duty indeed is this, but not to the humble, Who bear in mind that they shall meet their Lord, and that unto Him shall they return.
- The Koran 42-43

Is not the God of many religions one in the same? Is not the message of most faith practices the innate need for love and faith and happiness? Is not the goal of religion to bring people together under a common banner of inclusion and worship in order to better serve the world they live in?

Upon coming to the answers to these questions I remain with a final question among much wondering: Why exclude the thought that many paths can converge upon the same inevitable and faith-filled road home?

The goal of religion should be to foster a feeling of "being home", not the otherwise dominant mindset of many, that one route or another reigns supreme over the rest.

In the beginning we were ALL among each other uncreated in bodily form, equal and just. So why during the walk of life down Faith's Highway do we choose to police the boundaries?

If I leave on foot from Virginia today with a goal of reaching my childhood home in California, are there not many routes available to choose from, with only the equal intent of travel being my motivator?

Regardless of my choice of roads, any could prove very worthwhile for a vast number of unforseen reasons. Any route I choose will have its ups and downs, but it will be the route that best fits my perceived wants and needs at the onslaught.

In any event, the path that I walk down will lead towards my end goal of reaching my birthplace.

Religion can be a beautiful and helpful tool in finding my way back to the beginning, but freedom of religion and an environment that fosters that is where the unity and true beauty comes from.

Inspiration is found even under the smallest rock along the most forgotten foot-path. Where we choose to place our steps is our individual right to choose, it's this beautiful and godly choice to create our own path that gives the human race the benefit over the other created species.

The goal of my faith and my religion is to be someone who welcomes all with open arms in an attempt to have someone to walk home with; what is the goal of yours?

As always I encourage you to love life and live a life of love.

Peace, love, and blessings...

I'm very interested in the desire that people have to attack life with such a voracity that nothing stands in their way to get everything they want. What is it that remains constant between the excellence in people that holds their efforts more worthwhile than the rest? Is it their unyielding pursuit of perfection, or their unwillingness to believe the doubt that most people entertain and remain locked within? I think that some people choose not to believe or adhere to negativity; the people who enjoy the fruits of hard fought efforts are the same who allow no one or no-thing to deter their youngest and fondest dreams held most dear. If we are to be great in whatever field or venture we decide to tackle, the one constant is one's knowing that they are doing exactly what they were created to do. Whether it be a comedian who knew from childhood that laughter was their key to the hearts and minds of change, or the teacher who realized late in life that the world could be a better place because of the passing of knowledge, the decision made to listen to their heart's desire is the key to unlocking their human potential. I was talking with a successful friend in her perspective field the other day who rose from the underground to the forefront of prosperity in her profession, and her words are best left unchanged to finish out my thought for this first writing: "I always knew what I was here to do, in school I was the girl who made all my friends laugh, so it was easy for me to follow my path."

Life is best lived and most optimal for success when we chose to walk down the path of success that our hearts have laid before us since the beginning of our time and the pronouncement of our birth.

Live to pursue excellence in your desired field, or choose not to, the choice as always and forever is yours to make. Be the best you were made to be or live in fear of perfect success; choose now or later, but at some point the question of whether to act will creep up on us all.

Peace and love,
