Where will you be? What will you do?

This is one of the best times to join in the heart felt, honest concern for a global action, from the citizens of the world to have a healthy home to live on...

So if you would like to know more about this take a look over here.

A Gift of time...

Sometimes the best gift is to just be there.

maybe you can do something while you are there;

but there is no need.

Sometimes just to think of someone, if they are consciously telepathic, they will feel your thoughts. Have you ever known who was on the phone before you read the caller ID? Telepathy.

Gifts are funny some do not recognize one when they receive one - because it is not given in the way they wanted it.

We have this problem on this planet - both lovers may speak the same language but not the language of love. We have to learn what this for ourselves and for our lovers, if we want to give to them in the way they understand.

The gift of time may be what the demand or expect but not want, as a message of love. You are my husband you have to fix the toilet, paint the house, take out the garbage etc.

"Why don't you tell me you love me?" after the house is painted, the garbage out, and the toilet is fixed. And you brought flowers. That may not have done it either.

So you fixed her computer - nope...not yet. mowed the lawn? Nope.
got her a card? not yet. A diamond bracelet? not yet...

exhausted yet?
What she wanted was you go an spend happy time with her mom.
how were you to know? Maybe she didn't either.

Have fun exploring ways to give.

I still feel the gift of time is the best!
(for me :-) )

The Yoga of Action

Karma Yoga is a misunderstood situation.
Many think it is slavery - by having to act as a debt determined by your past bad actions.
well sort of. Karma is a term that means 'action'

What you do is Karma. All action have 2 parts the action done and the action that reacts.
Most of us will do what is automatically programmed into us by own past actions.

In other words if you practice 'ballet' for 10 years you may not want to venture into new paths.
or if you are a Trombone player - and like it... you many never pick up the piano...

For one thing it takes more effort to learn and new instrument. So most just stay with one.
the same with our habits.
It takes much more energy to locate an unwanted habit or just one you want to change.
then punish yourself lightly when you do it.
then reward yourself when you do the correct action etc.

Just like training a dog ~ everyone knows it can be done, books are available, videos and personal trainers too...
But how many people want to take the time to train the dog....
they prefer to just live with the dogs bad behavior; and their own.

If you believe in reincarnation - then your habits you develop over and over again -
just keep persisting. If you were a snake you may keep trying to attack and bite people :-)
Most of do this ~ just so we can keep being 'right' (bad joke)

anyway, karma yoga is the science of changing all of this.
It is inaction in action ~ more zen stuff right?
sort of...

In other words if you are business owner and you are immersed the day to little stuff of the daily activities you lose oversight. You lose site of big picture. "When you're up to your as... in alligators it hard to remember you came to drain the swamp" - old Cajun say'in.

Paramahamsa Yogananda changed his Karma as predicted by a Vedic Astrologer - that he would have 4 wives and ... well he dicided not for him and changed it, he was a celbate Monk.

Karma yoga mean you develop the ability to stay unattached and focused on the broad or small or middle but it all by keeping you inside - in inaction or nonaction - you watch yourself act. Like drinking water, you just do it.
But from this vantage point you can monitor all of the actions to see if the outcomes are the ones you want.

You are truly here now.. Present. ( a lot more than just showing up - most bodies do this for work -but 'they' still; home sleeping)

Angel help?

You can ask for their help anytime...
some actually can talk to them, and convey messages to you.
some just get the information they need by listening after they ask.
some see them
some hear them
some feel them
some do none of these
some do all of these...

This gentleman actually acts as an intermediate to communicate with them
if you need help...

Did you see that moon halo in Dallas on the Sat full moon ?
check out Tiger Swami for good picture of what it looked like...

Value of Time....

Time can work for you or against you...

Do the things that depress you, pull you down, toxify your body - satisfy only your tong...
goof off play video games, read novels etc... & the reaper cometh... sickle and all...

Or
Do the things that you love, like strive to be better, play a musical instrument, eat life giving great tasting foods, help a few others, share your smile, get ahead by helping others get ahead first...

and when you leave your body the great white light beings will be there to escort you...Movies?

so Happy New Year !

Happy New Year!

Until...

the universe knows that you mean what you say...

you will have lots of stuff thrown in your way to test your resolve...

(this actually comes from with in your own software - your own bad habits)
Why do we have to prove it?
simple really

all your life you have said 'I will do this, or that' and you haven't- you simply forgot or, or, or...

well you get the idea.
so if you want thing,
keep it in view = KIV
and keep it at it daily
'UNTIL' you get it ...

then the next time it will be easier...

I have always read that the first million or billion was the most difficult...
yes it is simply because even you don't believe you can do it...
'UNTIL' you prove to yourself and the universe that you can...

then keep your word
set it
keep it.
like a compass...

Lash yourself to the mast in a storm if you have to,
to keep on course...

You can do this....
if you will keep your word.

When all around you are loosing theirs....

keep your head about you... and you will be a man my son...



Rember that one? Really wonderful, powerful...

Love Movies - I do...

They can really get a message across..

Slumdog millionare....

is a rare film.

It comebines justice, action, intrigue...

but it is really about just being straight...

honest not trying to escape..



the power of KIV = keep in view your target is the main theme of the movie

as well as compassion, love.



I have been in Bombay in these slums, they are everything that is shown there.

But I as a westerner cannot stomach going there, visiting or even thinking about them,

as they are too big a problem.



This movie deals with life as it is, not as one would wish it to be.

and through it all,

is the beauty of inner strength...

the power of honesty.



do your bullets have power? or are they pellets?

Strenth comes from words backed by the action of conviction...

ie Gandhi was asked by a single mother to tell her son not to eat sugar any more...

he asked her to bring back her son in 3 days.

Then the Great One told her son to not eat sugar any more....

The mother asked why the dealy in telling him?

Gandhi just replyed:

I myself had not stopped eating sugar...



so after last night... I must waite 3 days to tell anyone who may inquire the same...

I recommend the movie:

1- it is a triumph of what is right over what is not - simple truths we all know...

2-It has a wonderful engaging plot and story line

3- It will hold your attention

4- It will move you



You will not know the outcome from me...



Happy New Year...

Target, plan, KIV

Hugs to you...

It's all in the stars...

yep, but what if you want to change your stars?
jee, can one do that?

Well, has anyone we can study?
hummm... well Parmahamsa Yogananda did just that...

He was supposed to have married several times and done this and that...
- He decided he would be a monk- and create many things to benefit humanity...
~He did just that - will his will power. KIV...

The Autobiography of a Yogi started me off on my path.
Colin over at Tiger Swami - mentioned he did as well...

Colin told me he even locates people by using his antennas like Yogananda did in his book to find someone he was looking for...

So go with your path that God has placed you on, or change it when you are divinely inspired to do so..

Yogananda even asked his astrologers the worst time to begin a project and that is when he would start it, carry it through to completion, and begin another - just to show to himself that he could do anything he put his mind to. ( FOCUS on KIV= keep in view -Tiger Swami)

Slow Growth...

The oldest living trees in the world are thought to be on a mountain top on the California - Nevada boarder -
the bristlecone pine...

it isn't much to look at, not vary tall, looks have dead,
yet it is the oldest...

and grows slowly, so we have time to get things right...

Take it easy... experiment a bit, be gentle on yourself...

Walk the path that has been laid out before you...

(some of these are just under 5,000 years old...)

Deep Wells = freshest waters

Taking the time needed to dig a deep well
is worth the effort for years to come.

Ground water is more polluted today and the water table is dropping.
It takes more effort to go back in and re-dig a well...
Much better to dig it very deep from the start..

Persistency & Consistency are needed.

One has to dig long enough and in the correct manner to find sweet water.
If one digs a little here, then a little there, and a little more over there...
you will guarantee nada = no drinkable water.

So, when you study something like in High School or College - you are only digging a little here and a little there. This only familiarity not mastery and = no sweet water. You would need grad school to really get into a subject. It takes many years of specialty schooling to be a doctor or a lawyer. Then you will have to also do an internship for a couple of years more.

Business is like this too: People flock to McDonald's because they offer the exact same sandwich or burger at every location and at the same time of day= Consistency, and same time and place.
If you went to a restaurant and it was delicious one day and horrible with too much salt the next, then over cooked the next day and so on - how many time would you go back?

If you went to the store and they keep moving the aisles around so the milk was on the left side of the store one day then in back the next, the right side the next - how many times would go there?

If you are a cook at home and have 4 kids, and every day another one rearranges the kitchen in different way - pots here one day, cereal here next - how long would you put up with this?

Every where Consistency makes our lives easier and simpler, and more desirable.
It takes persistency to create anything of value.

Yes it can be done faster in many ways with different technologies or newer ones:
A computer can have a million spread sheet entries or more for accounting now, a human cannot do this. Japanese revolutionized ship building putting millions out of work in English ship yards by introducing robots to do repetitive welds, and standardised sections of steal. These robots created more consistent results than the humans could.
The result? Better built ships in less time and at lower cost.

Which ones would you buy?

It takes Persistence to master anything.
And then Consistency to make it lasting.

then steps are
1-hear about a subject = football...
2-Read about it, watch a video about it
3-Play touch football as a kid
4-Play with pads in high school, begin to use light weights
5-Play in college and work out heavier
6- get into Pro ball and work your buns off

This is very different from an ignorant HS kid that thinks he knows all about the game because he studied it in phys-ed.

We do our students a great injustice today in public schools - we give them a degree and lead them to believe that they know the English language or math, or science. And led to believe that they are ready for life... NOT!

We need some new blend of the old way of apprenticeship as with the great masters like Leonardo, and Steve Jobs - these guys didn't work 9-5. They attained mastery and made their students masters as well.

What ever you do brick laying or creating the next My Space site.

so what ever you do--
Persistency
Consistency are the tools of the Masters.

Use them well (pardon the pun)

PS I read the Sun Rise on Colin's site 'Tiger Swami' http://tigerswami.blogspot.com/

It inspired me to write this today - hope you enjoyed...
