What do you expect?

Posted on

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!

Good Morning from Texas!
As I make my way further across the United States I also make my way further into myself. The learning never stops. Yesterday was yet another miracle day. It was a day of recognizing that I am on the right path, that mistakes that I perceived to make were not really mine afterall. Of course, it’s good to get recognition that you aren’t completely bonkers, but at the same time we can’t rest on our laurels. We can’t take that moment of satisfaction and pretend that there still isn’t work to be done on ourselves. There is always work to be done.

What is my lesson? It’s a lesson of becoming more and more selfless, to take care of myself, to be mindful of my needs but to also ‘know’ that all of my needs will be met regardless of how the monkey mind chatters away on our shoulders. Becoming mindful, becoming selfless, is about turning off the thinking mind and just ‘allowing’ the world to flow around me.

I might be sounding a bit redundant from time to time but I believe that this needs to be repeated over and over again, like a mantra. It needs to be at the forefront of our minds to keep us in check.

Drop the Ego. Drop the Anger.

Ego is nothing more than the wounded child within us all that wants validation, that wants to be protected. It Is our ‘job’ as adults now to let our inner child know that we’ve got this… we will protect it.

Have an amazingly powerful day!
Peace!

The Empress

Posted on

Good Morning from El Paso, Texas. My host at the AirBnB left me with this sacred space. All decor from India, very peaceful. I am blessed and abundant.

This mornings card is the 3rd card in the Major Arcana. I opened the book to read about it and it said ‘111. The Empress’. As the Universe guides me on my journey I’ve been watching the signs… when I looked at my app on my phone at a rest stop it said I had 333 miles to go, the next time I looked down at my speedometer it said 55.5 miles. It just so happens that my cousin’s house outside of Austin, Texas is 111 as well (There are no coincidences).

So what is she telling me? Well, with the hours ticking away on the Harley I listen to audiobooks. I’m listening now to different speakers from the Hay House HEAL Summit and last nights adventure was with Bruce Lipton. Bruce talks about how our mind works. His research is vast as a scientist. He talks about when we ‘think’ we automatically switch to our subconscious to do all of the tasks while we are thinking. Unfortunately, our subconscious if full of old programs from other people. Usually within the first 7 years of our life we are sponges and we absorb all of these programs from our parents, and most people on this planet are still struggling with these issues.

Recognition is the key. Mind you, I’m not going to get into fine detail about it, I’ll let you explore that yourself or write me and I will go into more detail.

Basically, most of us live with our subconscious mind ruling our lives. The only way to get out of this is to become ‘mindful’, shutting off our ‘thinking’ brain and becoming part of the experience. It becomes timeless like when you fall in love, you are mindful, you aren’t thinking all about anything but being in love, feeling the endorphins, basking in the ‘feeling’.

The Empress is about feeling. She is about being mindful, becoming the observer, basking in the beauty of our surroundings.

Today, as I am on my 500 mile adventure to Austin I will be observing the landscape around me. I will not be ‘thinking’.

Will you join me?

Peace!

The Fool

Posted on

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!

The Five of Cups

Posted on

Today’s card is the 5 of Cups.

The 5 of Cups talks about loss. There are no coincidences because I have recently lost. Being single again is strange, but I’m fortunate to have good friends who have reached out to me. .
There is always a lesson when change comes along. It’s recognizing the role that we played, either good or not so good, it doesn’t matter. What matters is this; what did we learn? How can it help others? Can we pinpoint our error so as to not repeat it again?

The 5 of Cups also represents the 5 stages of grieving; Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, and Acceptance. It is imperative that we recognize each step and honor each one. Do your best not to run away from them because you will just repeat it in the future. With each step spend time alone. Analyze each step, write down what you are feelings, and be honest with yourself. If you need to console with others, then do it only for growth, not for pity. Once you reach the acceptance step, congratulate yourself for going what you went through, put it on the shelf and only look at it as a reference, nothing more.

Life is a series of lessons, and as I quoted Sadhguru yesterday…

I am condemned to die a failure. But, I’m a blissful failure.

Embrace your failures. Embrace your triumphs. Embrace yourself.

Peace!

For What it’s Worth

Posted on

Welcome to Tuesday, September 25th which is a 9 in Numerology.

Today’s card is the Knight of Wands.

I’ve asked this question before… “What are you good at?”

And then the next question I will always ask is… “What are you doing in that direction?” And if you’re not, why not? You see, we are all here for a reason. Every single one of us. I believe that we are all connected, like cells in the body. We see how the tides change when the moon is full, how it effects people, etc. So why do we think that the unseen is mumbo jumbo? I mean, people believe in God and he/she is unseen.

So on a day ruled by the Knight of Wands it is telling us to listen to the unseen and expect that something is going to happen if we pay attention. If we focus only on our dreams your deepest fears might come true. You could be a success!

Today’s energy of the 9 is telling us that an unfolding can happen if we allow it.

Today’s song is; For What It’s Worth by Buffalo Springfield.

“Stop Children. What’s that sound? Everybody look what’s going down.”

Gvyalielitsehi!
