Cycles

The cycles of life are amazing. It wouldn't seem that something that reoccurred throughout the course of your life could be looked at as being amazing but when you consider the mechanism that must be in place in order for this cycle to repeat itself time and time again then you appreciate the title of this blog. Right now I am traveling down the road to greater health and a more compassionate and truth filled existence. I decided to lead the life of a raw vegan for the entire year (currently into day #8 of 365). This is a decision that I have been going over in my head for a long time now. Even during the summer months I thought about it. I feel that I am at my best when I am in control of what I eat. This time last year I was a practicing raw vegan which is why I feel the cycles of life are so amazing. We as a race of human beings easily forget the cycles that our lives travel through and therefor we end up not recognizing special events and triggers that alert us to coming events. Can these cycles be set? My answer to this question is a resounding YES! Not only can they be reset but the SHOULD BE RESET. Each time you pass through a cycle, your action should be to reset it so that on the next pass, you are experiencing things on a different level or from a different perspective. I feel that this is a key element in the journey through life. So how do we reset our individual cycles? The quick answer....through change. Most often we look at change as the "other" four letter word...haha. However, it is a good word and one that simply makes sense when you understand that cycles depend on change to happen. Have you ever heard someone say "Do something different this year that you have not done." Well, I take this to mean, with each new sun, strive for a new experience. This could be listening to different music to try and understand why a certain group of people prefer it over your current choice of music. It could mean eating differently than you have ever eaten. I cold mean wear clothing that didn't cause an animal to get slaughtered. It could mean any number of things. The bottom line is, strive to make the change so that when your cycle happens you "cycle-up!"

IMANcosmetics Leather and Lace contest

I just entered the Leather and Lace Contest that's going on over at the IMANcosmetics youtube channel. If you want to get a look at my rendition of "Leather & Lace" please go check it out. It's about makeup but not what you might think....when you think of makeup. Take a look for yourself and let me know what you think by adding a comment to the page.

010-Make a Promise to yourself

I have been on a raw juice & smoothie feast for the past 6 days and have plans to continue for up to 30 days if my body allows (lol). During this feast I have taken a little time to prepare recipes for good juice combination's. In addition to this, I have also been working on a less physical element of cleansing and that is what this blog is going to cover.

In life we make all sorts of promises and commitments to various people and situations. How often do we have that same  desire towards SELF? I have taken the time to write down 7 of my most often thought about promises/commitments to myself and here they are:

1. Put daily practices in place and hold true to them.
2. Approach your daily life from the heart.
3. Seek not to change others but be the reflection of them and change self.
4. Always promote a positive position in place of one that is out of balance.
5. Create a path ideal for you and be your own architect.
6. Remain true to your path for life!
7. Minimize monumental imbalances moment by moment.

These are seven principles that I created for my own concentration toward a better more balanced journey through life.

009 Parallel People

Recently I purchased a set of DVD's from the History channels "The Universe" series. It was the season 3 set and although not as good as season 2, I still found the information to be worth the purchase (for the most part). There is a segment that talks about parallel Universes and string theory and such. I found this to be particularly interesting as I had been pondering the existence of the human race and what the purpose of all this really is. I arrived at a conclusion that, for now, satisfies me.

In the parallel universe theory it is thought that there is a copy of each person, each planet, each universe, etc. scattered throughout the multi-verse. This repetitious pattern allows for any possible thought to manifest. Therefore, anything that you think can happen HAS happened or WILL occur in the near future. This made me wonder about DejaVu you know, that feeling you get that you have been HERE before or that you have done something and it feels as if you are repeating it. There has been several times in my life, as I look back, that I have felt was a significant turning point and now I believe that I am comfortable with the reason I felt this way.

Every dream that I have had and every DEEP thought that I have had could possibly be my CHANGE from one existence in one universe to another existence in a different universe. That may be all it takes to make the change. To travel at the speed of thought! So follow this:

Picture yourself on a bicycle riding on a winding road. The winding parts of the road are not visible until you get right up to them so they sort of take you by surprise and you make a decision at a moment's notice. Whatever decision you make determines where you are at any given time.

Now imagine that the road is the universe you occupy at that particular moment and the bike is your life. YOU, the person riding the bike are the essence of you or the spirit, the entity. You determine how you want to travel through life by the split second decisions you make at any given moment. If you decide you want to feel healthier, you are immediately riding on the road in the universe that has you leading a healthy life. If you decide you want to be evil and angry towards people then you immediately began to ride down the road in the universe that has you leading a life that reflects this. When you do destructive things to yourself or to others, you instantly live in the universe that has your lifestyle reflecting destructive patterns. Knowing this can instantly change your direction in life. You can be the person you want to be and live the life you want to live. It is all in what you think.

008MiFamilia

Interestingly enough, I had a thought that came to my mind as I sat down to author this report to you. What would you call a group of individuals who shared a connection with you that seemed to stretch far beyond the acquaintance of cordial friends and was far too immeasurable to be deemed brother, sister, mother, father, etc. I'll tell you what I would call that group,....HUMAN!

My family is the human family and they are a wide range of pigment, molecules, enzymes, systems, personalities, intelligences, irregularities, etc. They are me and I am them we are far more similar than we are different and yet it is that difference that keeps us curious enough to remain connected at some level. Was it always like this or did we somehow fall into a slumber that encrusted our synapses far to extensively to allow for correction. We were once connected as the molecules of water make an ocean and yet we cannot demonstrate this in the land of today. My greatest wish is that all of humanity can awaken and be as the potent beams of light that dance across the face of life with every revolution of our world. I believe in the depth of human existence and I acknowledge the greatness of its being. The connection between animal life, plant life, and microbial life forms is unmistakable and delivers with it an understanding that we are not alone nor will we ever be. We don't need to look outside of our protective electromagnetic fields to find this. We only need to open the eye that we keep closed even as we are awake. See all that we have decided does not exist and discard information of a lesser truth.

As human, be as the winds that dust off the earth that part for the oceans that evaporate and return once more to the air to make winds. Forever move, forever, change, forever be. Your light is within and will ready you for the conjunction.
