HAPPY TUESDAY!!!

I say NO to the demands of the world.
~Jonathan-Lockwood Huie

HI FAMILY!!!

DEAR DIARY:
I give thanks for a brand new day, because it's another chance for me to make everything around me better. It looks like "June Gloom has come early this year, but that's pretty common.

HUMANITY'S TEAM

Each time you discover and clear an old emotional injury you can welcome more light consciousness within your physical form. Each time some part of your body releases what it has been storing for you, it takes on new, revitalized life-promoting energy. Each time you use your imagination to defuse and dissolve old emotional memories you are allowing more of your true multidimensional gifts to come forward.

We also invite you to find a quiet place where you will not be disturbed and again, using your imagination, see or sense or imagine healing energy entering your physical body. Make this experience as real for yourself as possible. Allow the energy vibrations to fill you with life sustaining well-being. Imagine that this strengthens your energy body as well as your physical body. Make an agreement with self that you will offer this kind of conscious energy connection each day.

You can also use the power of color vibrations. Imagine your body filled with the color red; now invite any aspect of your physical body that needs this red vibration to absorb all that it might need and any aspect of your physical body that has too much red vibration to release it. Then allow the color red to dissipate and repeat the process using all the colors of your earthly rainbow. We invite you to incorporate this exercise into your practices of well-being.

You can simply imagine that you are drinking in the energy of the new dawn, allowing your body, your life, to be renewed in ways that are astonishing. Imagine that the vibrations of trees and all green and growing things can be taken in as energy nourishment. Imagine you can breathe in the energy of the night sky, the stars and the galaxies. Imagine allowing energy to flow into your pineal, heart and solar plexus chakras filling you with renewed life and expanded awareness strengthening your energy body as well as your physical body.

Do not underestimate the power of these processes. Remember that energy follows thought so when you focus your imagination on some aspect of your physical body and imagine beautiful energizing vibrations bathing the cells and tissues, it is occurring and is very beneficial. When this is practiced consistently you will begin to experience the results.

--Imagination to Clear Emotions by Peggy Black and the ‘team’

Cada vez que descubres y despejas una vieja herida emocional, puedes dar la bienvenida a más conciencia luminosa en tu forma física. Cada vez que alguna parte de tu cuerpo libera lo que ha estado guardando para ti, adquiere una nueva y revitalizada energía promovedora de vida. Cada vez que usas tu imaginación para neutralizar y disolver viejos recuerdos emocionales estás permitiendo que se presenten más de tus verdaderos dones multidimensionales.

También te invitamos a encontrar un lugar tranquilo donde no seas interrumpido y de nuevo, utilizando tu imaginación, ver, sentir o imaginar energía curativa entrando en tu cuerpo físico. Haz esta experiencia lo más real para ti que te sea posible. Permite que las vibraciones de energía te llenen de un bienestar mantenedor de vida. Imagina que esto fortalece tu cuerpo energético, así como tu cuerpo físico. Haz a un acuerdo contigo mismo de realizar este tipo de conexión energética consciente cada día.

También puedes usar el poder de las vibraciones de los colores. Imagina tu cuerpo lleno del color rojo; luego invita a cualquier parte de tu cuerpo físico que necesite esta vibración roja a que absorba todo lo que pueda necesitar, y a cualquier parte de tu cuerpo físico que tenga demasiada vibración roja que la libere. A continuación, permite que el color rojo se disipe y repite el proceso utilizando todos los colores del arco iris de tu Tierra. Te invitamos a incorporar este ejercicio en tus prácticas de bienestar.

Puedes simplemente imaginar que estás bebiendo en la energía del nuevo amanecer, permitiendo que tu cuerpo, tu vida, sean renovados en formas sorprendentes. Imagina que las vibraciones de los árboles y todas las cosas verdes que crecen se puede tomar como alimento energético. Imagínate que puedes respirar la energía del cielo nocturno, de las estrellas y las galaxias. Imagina energía fluyendo en tu glándula pineal, en el chakra del corazón y en el plexo solar; llenándote de vida renovada y conciencia expandida, fortaleciendo tu cuerpo energético, así como tu cuerpo físico.

No subestimes el poder de estos procesos. Recuerda que la energía sigue al pensamiento así que cuando centras tu imaginación en algún aspecto de tu cuerpo físico e imaginas que hermosas vibraciones energizantes bañan las células y tejidos, esto está ocurriendo y es muy beneficioso. Cuando esto se practica sistemáticamente comenzarás a experimentar los resultados.

TRANSFIXED BY BEAUTY... Yes, THAT'S the feeling I get, that's what happens to me EVERYTIME I hear this song:

Now, I told this story about how I first heard that song many times before on this blog, and I'll tell it many more times...
I was walking down Hollywood Blvd. Close to Highland station, when I heard a very beautiful sound. I turned around on my heels, ans I saw THIS WOMAN playing the sweetest music you ever heard.

Her voice was sweet, rich, textured. The song was poetry, original, from the heart. She was reserved, yet passionate at the same time. She was beautiful.

I remember standing there, stunned, literally stunned. It was like walking out from some dark, fetid storm drain and finding yourself in a sunlit meadow full of sweet grass. I had never dreamed that there was so much talent, so much beauty in this world.

I think it was in the last third part of her song that I fell in love... with the song.

And I became a big fan.

So big in fact, that I went home, TRACKED this woman down on facebook, You Tube, and Twitter, and took the 23 mile trip to Hollywood & Highland a few times a week, EVERY WEEK for about a month in the hope of hearing her play again.

HI Guys.

The name of the song is called "COLORES", and it was written and performed by an AMAZING Singer/Songwriter, DANNI EL.

Danni El is from Tampa, Florida.

Developing a style from her Peruvian roots, as well as her time spent in Brazil, Danni El shares her enriching and enchanting heart songs in Spanish, English, and Portuguese.

In her own words: " I believe in the healing powers of music, and I try to always channel that vibration to share with everyone. My goal is to travel the world, and bring healing sounds to the children, and plant love seeds within them, because they are the future."

I post the above description about Danni all the time in my blogs, but that description doesn't really describe just exactly what a ABSOLUTE ANGEL she is.

If you are fortunate enough to get a chance to see her perform, I STRONGLY suggest you take it.

Anyway, when I hear COLORES, or any one of Danni's other songs, I remember that first time in Hollywood, and I'm back in that feeling, that state of rapture. I can only describe it, as being surrounded by beauty. And THAT'S WHY I close all my daily posts with this song.

If you want to know more about DANNI EL, check out her links in my sidebar, in the music section.

“Sometimes people are beautiful.
Not in looks.
Not in what they say.
Just in what they are.
” ― Markus Zusak, I Am the Messenger

Yep, THAT'S DANNI, ALL RIGHT.

And now, I'm going to break with tradition today. Since I already posted about COLORES, I'm gonna close this blog with another of Danni's songs. She usually ends her performances with this song, and while she's playing, I love to look around and check out the people's reactions when they first hear it.

What is a Warrior?

I see through different eyes.

I see a bigger picture when others see only grey skies.

Though many can’t conceive it,

I stand... facing the wind.

My bravery not from fighting,

but from my strength within,

I am a Warrior.

I will walk the extra mile,

Not because I have to,

Because it’s worth my while.

I know that I am different,

When I’m standing on a crowded street.

I know the fullness of winning;

I’ve tasted the cup of defeat.

I am a Warrior.

They say I walk with ease.

Though trained for bodily harm,

My intentions are for peace.

The world may come and go,

But a different path I’ll choose.

A path I will not stray from,

No matter... Win or Lose.

If you've been in the Martial Arts for a while, you'll find many people who would like to believe in the idea that just because they practice the Martial Arts, they are some kind of Warriors.(I like to call them Wannabee Warriors).

But what exactly is a Warrior? I mean, throughout history, there have been many different types of warriors, all having different Codes of Honor that they live by (And in case you're wondering, yes, there is a Warrior Creed that I follow and try to live up to also...) . But if you really try to define what a warrior is, there seems to be no one answer to that question. In fact, there seems to be many answers, almost as many answers as people you ask.

So, what I did was provide some links to some different websites about different warriors and types of warriors throughout history. Hell, I even posted links to web sites about Dan Millman and Carlos Castaneda for you "Spiritually Aware" types. Perhaps if you look through them, you'll find a good definition of a warrior for yourself...

And for you Wannabee Warriors out there... Some of the links I put up are to Law Enforcement & Military websites. If you really want to be warriors, Check out those links and become a police officer, or go join the armed forces. They need you!!!

FROM WIKIPEDIA, THE FREE ENCYCLOPEDIA: Silat is a collective word for indigenous martial arts of the Malay Archipelago and Malay Peninsula of Southeast Asia. Originally developed in what are now Indonesia, peninsular Malaysia, southern Thailand and Singapore, it was also traditionally practiced in Brunei, the Philippines, Cambodia, Myanmar, and Vietnam. As a result, it is closely related to other Southeast Asian martial arts including krabi krabong and eskrima. Practitioners are called pesilat. The Chinese fusion of silat is known as kuntao.

There are hundreds of different styles but they tend to focus either on strikes, joint manipulation, bladed weapons, throws, animal-based techniques, or some combination thereof. Silat is one of the sports included in the Southeast Asian Games and other region-wide competitions. Training halls are overseen by separate national organizations in each of the main countries the art is practiced. These are Ikatan Pesilat Indonesia (IPSI) from Indonesia, Persekutuan Silat Kebangsaan Malaysia (PESAKA) from Malaysia, Persekutuan Silat Brunei Darussalam (PERSIB) from Brunei and Persekutuan Silat Singapura (PERSISI) from Singapore.

Below, I added some links to various websites and video clips so you can get a better understanding of what Silat is about.

One of the gravest disservices we have done to the people of our world is to have provided them with a poor education. We do not teach students to think.

If you do not learn to effectively process information (and it is a learned skill) then you will always be at the mercy of people promoting their favorite dogmas.

The problem is, that all kinds of people would like you to uncritically believe what they are telling you about the way the world is. Many of them pretend that such uncritical belief is "faith", which it is not.

If you do not have the tools to discover what a given person or group is really trying to sell you, then you are libel to be making some really wacky presuppositions about the world, which will in turn become the heuristics by which you operate.

About half of what we perceive as "intelligence" is the ability to process information effectively, so if you want to be "smarter" then all you have to do is improve in that area.

While this is pretty simple, it is not necessarily easy. In my experience, most people are conditioned to a way of thinking already comfortable to the individual. When a person tries to change the way they process information they run a good chance of evoking a "threat response" from within themselves.

The wonderful thing about the internet is that you have access to so much useful information. If you're reading this, then you are able to self-educate on any number of subjects to a remarkable degree, and do it almost for free.

And that's what this section is about. I added some links here so anybody with a brain can study and learn to use it.

Remember 2 things people:

"I NOT ONLY HAVE THE RIGHT TO THINK AT ALL TIMES, BUT THE RESPONSIBILITY TO DO SO."

"IF I DON'T THINK FOR MYSELF, THEN SOMEBODY ELSE WILL DO IT FOR ME".

There are over 10,000 different religions in the world, 150 of which have at least 1 millions followers. Which one is the truth? "Christianity!" someone says, but even Christianity alone has over 38,000 different denominations. So which interpretation is the TRUE one?

Religion is not the anchor-point of truth. The truth always existed. Religion is man-made, meaning that the truth existed prior to both man and religion. Religion may be an effective catalyst for some individuals who desire to invest their minds into ideological association for whatever reason, but it is not a necessary nor a sufficient condition for a relationship with God, and understanding of the Creator, or the inner workings of the self.

Spirituality is not a belief. It is a state of consciousness, a mental framework with which you approach the world. Spirituality is in fact what birthed religion through the attempted organization of experience and wisdom, which ended up being the hierarchical stratification of various belief systems that we call religion.

Don't let the commitments you have to a religious belief system in your mind take you away from your natural state of Being with all things. You were a human before you learned religion. God's light existed in you before you learned this through some spiritual guru. Does this mean don't read or believe what Jesus of Buddha had to say? Of course not. Just make sure you take the time and effort to experience the rose instead of just believing in the accounts of others. This is not an attack on any religion by any means, and religion has brought many people happiness and the experience of being close to one's creator, but don't let it cause segregation away from our inherent unity.

As for my religious beliefs, well...

I'm a CHRISTIAN, in the sense that I believe that personal redemption is feasible for everyone and that universal love makes that salvation possible.

I'm a MUSLIM, in the sense that I believe that there's only 1 GOD, ans that all are equal under this one GOD. And, althought I'm not jewish, I do have a respect for JUDAISM.

I'm a BUDDHIST, in the sense that the seeds of enlightenment are within all of us as an integral part of our DNA, and that we are capable of reaching the Absolute through our own efforts.

I'm a HINDU, in the sense that I believe that GOD takes many shapes and forms to reach out to mankind.

I'm a TAOIST, in the sense that I have a total belief in the reality of Yin & Yang Energies.

And I also have a total belief in the world of spirits, and what we can learn from them, so I guess that makes me an ANIMIST.

I never want to tell someone what to think, for ones spirituality is a private matter between that person and their creator.

My goal here is only to show all of you the history and traditions of the many, many ways the people of the world have reached out to god.
