What do you expect?

Posted onNovember 20, 2019November 20, 2019

Along my journey I’ve learned a lot about giving and receiving. Many times along this vast journey there have been imbalances depending on the relationship or time in my life. I think that can be said for most of us, although I’d bet that a good majority will say that they’ve given WAY more than received. This might be true, but I’d venture to say that our Ego has those numbers a little skewed (I can hear ALL of my ex’s screaming right now, “That’s right asshole! I gave you everything!”).

I believe that a lot of giving and received comes down to expectations.

When we are in love this energy exchange is evident. You bring her flowers, she makes you coffee. You both sit on the porch swing chatting away, sipping your coffee, she leans on your shoulder and you feel the energy exchange between the both of you. It’s bliss.

You are both doing this without expectations. The love that you share, the mutual respect, the adoration, is flowing between you both. In the metaphysical world this is called ‘balance’, the Yin/Yang.

Let’s use this in an example…

He brings her flowers every day. They’ve been together for awhile now and one day he is just super busy at the office, he comes home without flowers. She is so accustomed to him bringing him flowers, but she doesn’t say anything, but instead of letting it go she doesn’t make him coffee… and so the descent begins.

Mind you, I made her out to be the spiteful one, but it works both ways.

He brings her flowers every day, but one day he forgets and feels bad about it, but doesn’t say anything. The next day comes and the guilt has set in, but he says nothing about it. Eventually he starts to feel guilty, and then he starts making up in his head that she doesn’t appreciate him anyway, “Why do I always bring her flowers? What does she do for me?” This mental chatter goes back and forth and he finally blows up at her. She, on the other hand feels like she has been hit by a Mack truck. Where the hell did that come from?! I know this from experience… I’ve been that guy.

So how do we stop this madness?

C.O.M.M.U.N.I.C.A.T.I.O.N.

Those 13 letters will save your life. Communication is the key. Seriously, it’s as simple as that. If you start feeling resentful, sit and talk to your partner. Allow them to discuss your feeling with them. Remember, your feelings are your feelings and if you feel a certain way it’s not dumb, or stupid, or selfish. They are your feelings, no matter how skewed they are. Make a time every day to sit with your partner and communicate your feelings. It’s your partner, not your buddy at a bar. This is the person that you’re supposed to confide in. Not dump on mind you… but to share your feelings.

If you aren’t in a partnership right now, that is ok. Now is a good time for you to see where in your past you might have built up resentment, where you might have created a mountain out of a molehill.

Look at it deeply. Do this now and clear it all up to prepare yourself for your next relationship. Dig deep into your soul and see what has stopped you from sharing in the past. What has stopped you from giving in the past… and most of all….

What has stopped you from receiving in the past?

Look back all the way to your childhood. Be meticulous. Look at different situations in your past where you’ve expected things. Be as non-judgmental as you can. Don’t go into beat-up mode for your past mistakes, use them as tools, to learn how NOT to do something.

And again… remember those 13 letters. COMMUNICATION. Without communication you can’t learn from tools that you’ve been using in the past, you have to acquire new tools. Be open to dialog with others, be transparent, give freely, receive freely, and never expect anything other than the lesson that you need to learn.

Peace!

Get on your Cycle and Ride!

Posted onNovember 16, 2019November 16, 2019

Ok… Freddie actually said ‘Get on your ‘bike’ and ride, but on the metaphysical journey this cycle is never ending. As soon as we end one journey we begin another.

No matter how many times I’ve started/completed a cycle the monkey mind inevitably jumps in to remind us that we’re still the same. But are we? That depends. What did we learn from the last cycle? Did we learn enough and dive deep enough within ourselves, so much so that it was completely uncomfortable?

If you did (and I’m assuming you have) then the monkey mind will be even louder.

DAVE!!!! Come on! I did this journey so that I could heal, damn it!

I’ll ask you this then… How old are you? How long have these programs, these limiting beliefs been running our lives?

As I go deeper and deeper, peeling the onion layers away, I start to hone in on deeper issues, patterns… some of them we can’t see unless we’ve worked on other areas of our lives. As the saying goes, “We don’t know what we don’t know, until we know it.”

So… when the monkey mind starts its chatter again, that is where we need to hone in. That is the next step in the journey. It’s not saying that you’re a complete mess, it’s just another program of belief that we need to clean up.

Why do you think ignorance is bliss? It’s because when we take this journey of enlightenment we begin the healing journey. It hurts. It’s difficult. It takes focus. It takes time. But if we stay in the matrix, doing the same old thing, complaining about the same old stuff, continuing the same old patterns, we are miserable. Understanding WHY we are miserable is the healing journey.

I know it sounds hopeless, but it’s not. As the layers peel away we start to realize that giving of ourselves becomes more gratifying. The focus is off of ourselves and synchronicities start to unfold.

No longer are you the victim.

Peace!

New Ground

Posted onNovember 15, 2019November 15, 2019

My new journey begins today. Yesterday was a day of fatigue and I needed to lay in bed, rest, and reflect on the whole journey that I’ve taken before starting on to the next journey.

What is different about me?

The past is the past. Whatever happened then is no longer relevant in my life. I can say that with the utmost truth as if whatever happened in the past was a dream, a ‘story’, that I lived, or my perception of what I lived. My past ‘story’ is not my present truth.

When our truth starts to unfold there is no longer a need to validate our truth. Just living our truth is the only path. I’m not saying that whatever happened in my past didn’t effect me… not at all. What I’m saying is, that whatever happened in my past happened for a reason and that now I know fully in my heart that I am where I am supposed to be. Not physically. Mentally.

I will say this again, as I’ve said all along this last journey.

Everybody should do this.

Everybody should have the time to reflect on their past, understand our past, mourn our past, and then file it away with the rest of the history books only to reference it in conversation to help others move forward. It should never be taken off the shelf to claim victimhood. We are not victims and to live as a victim will never allow you to move forward.

Amongst my ‘readings’ (audiobooks) while on my Harley there were case studies after case studies where cancer survivors looked back at the profound changes that happened in their lives and that they will only talk about the cancer in reference to the past and that most of them don’t even want to talk about it… not from fear that it will return, but because that is not their truth. And each one was grateful for the change in their lives. You would think that they would reference the experience as something horrible that has messed up their whole lives, but no… they were grateful that now they live their life in such a profoundly different way that you would never know they had such a horrible dis-ease. I’ve never had cancer, nor would I want it, but the point was well taken.

Live your truth at all costs. Don’t let society, family, friends, or situations sway you from your truth. Give of yourself even when you think you are unable to, and to always send love to everyone around you… and mean it.

Peace!

As Within, So Without

Posted onNovember 12, 2019November 12, 2019

Good Morning from New Orleans!

I am grateful for the relationships that I have in my life and that I can share of myself with them.

Along my journey I’ve been able to break bread with various family and friends, new and old. I get to live my truth instead of just speaking it. I had mentioned yesterday that I have shed my doubts about how I’ve lived my life, and that everything is perfect just the way it is.

My Harley, Destiny, has been my trusty steed along this journey as well as the Hay House HEAL Summit programs that I’ve listening to as the miles tick away behind me. I’ve been in a state of mindfulness and joy. The old past patterns have been recognized, consoled and put away only to be used in reference to my journey.

Today’s card is the 2 of Cups. It’s the love card, and in the Rohrig Tarot it depicts a person hugging another, and with further inspection it is depicted with three arms around them. This is indicating that to have love we need to be love. We need to learn to love ourselves first before we can step into the space of loving others.

For me, it was learning about my inner child. About the abandonment issues that I’ve felt ever since my Dad left us when I was 7. It was a subconscious program that I had played day in and day out in my life of ‘I’m not good enough’. Unfortunately, that program played through many relationships, and no matter how loving those relationships were I still had that program running full force which inevitably destroyed each one.

What are your limiting beliefs?

Do you know what they are?

You can start by looking at your patterns, getting with a community of others that feel the same way. It’s time to take those destructive behaviors and learn some tools to help you understand that you are love. We are all love. We are born with love in our hearts.

The only evil in this world is learned, subconscious, self-destructive, wounded child behavior.

Peace!

What’s your end goal?

Posted onNovember 11, 2019November 11, 2019

This journey started, as I’ve stated, traveling from California to Florida. My map was all laid out, I knew the direction, I knew the amount of time it would take. I had an end goal.

What is your end goal?

I thought I knew what mine was, but as I opened myself up to possibility it all changed. When I released the attachment to ‘what I want’ to ‘what I need’ everything opened up. Some would say that I got lost, but I would say that I finally found a direction and that direction is not what it started out as.

Now that I’ve come to terms with my Ego telling me what I need for survival, now I can truly follow my heart, follow my true passion.

I sing. <— period.

There are no more doubts, no more ‘should’s’, no more ‘have to’s’. None of that has been left in my vocabulary.

My buddy Ryan once took a trip like this. Hopped on his motorcycle to go find himself. He came out with complete clarity because he shut off his mind and allowed his true vision to unfold. There are many cases such as his and mine. Many examples of people doing this either on a motorcycle, bicycle, or hiking. Creating that movement and shutting off the mind.

I’ve said this once and I will say it again. Everything is perfect and everything happens for a reason.

Are you worth enough to yourself to take such a journey?

Peace!

The Fool

Posted onNovember 4, 2019November 4, 2019

This is the second time this week that I’ve pulled this card. What is spirit suggesting for me? Well… when we get the Fool card it is saying that the day is to be looked at in wonderment. To be embraced as would a child embrace a new day. No old thoughts or patterns because in a child’s mind there aren’t any of those preconceived thoughts or patterns. They haven’t experienced any of these things that we have. There is no bitterness or pain from past relationships, no acquired social conditioning.

Today, as I head back out on the road I want to thank all of the people that I’ve met on my journey so far. Thank them for the lessons they have taught me, some of them unaware that they were teaching me anything, some that were fully aware. I want to thank them for the long conversations, and allowing me to stay in this state of wonderment. As I write this it is starting to sound like I am saying goodbye… nothing could be farther from the truth… I am finally saying ‘Hello’ to the world and that I am ready to embrace it fully with the zest of a child.

My goal for the day is to reach El Paso, Texas… but I am aware now that making a ‘plan’ has ended up bringing me where I never imagined so I will just say this…

Wherever I go, there I am.

Peace!

Today I pulled the 2 of Swords out of my Tarot Deck. This card indicates ‘peace’. It is saying that the mind is at ease when we come to a balance with our soul and mind.

I started this journey to really dig deep to find out who I am so many years ago, but there were so many patterns that I would brush over and subconsciously tell myself that I would either deal with them later or that they weren’t that important. I thought that after my three months in England that would be enough, but that was only the beginning!

After working on the MegaCruise in October I headed back down to my friend Debbie’s place in San Diego, bought a motorcycle trailer, packed my stuff and headed to Scottsdale, Arizona to see my friends Jay and Mary. I had my whole trip planned out. I would stop there, then go to Sedona, then Chaco Canyon, and then continue across the the southern US to Florida where my sister Nicole is. That was my practical rational.

I headed out over a week ago and I’ve been here in Scottsdale ever since, after spending three days in Sedona. Every obstacle, both mental and physical, has kept me here. The lessons keep coming, as if the Universe is telling me that all of my ‘planning’ needs to be released. I need to truly let go and ‘go with the flow’ as I’ve been telling people over and over all of these years and not truly following my own advice.

So.. what have I learned? I’m learning how to truly let go, to allow the flow, and non-attachment to outcomes. It hasn’t been easy. I’m still hanging on to old stuff, but at least now I can truly breathe and see when these old patterns come up.

I would highly recommend anybody to drop it all and head out on the open road to really get to know yourself. If you say you can’t, that you have too many obligations, that you can’t afford it, that you’re not comfortable doing so…. just do it. Fuck it. This is your life. What kind of legacy are you going to leave?

Peace!
