Hi There. Wanna Hear Something You Already Know?

Every day brings something new.

I'm not a survivalist, a doomsayer or negative person. Quite the opposite, in fact. I've lived my entire life as if I didn't care if I lived or died.

As a younger man, I didn't think about it. My mantra was "Live hard, die young and leave a good looking corpse".... I know, I used James Dean's mantra... but I felt the same way.

As I grew older, one, then two of the parts of my mantra didn't apply to me. I was no longer young and I wasn't going to be a good looking corpse. But, damn, did I live hard. No, that's not an advertisement for Viagra.

My life has taken many, many turns. I've faced death on several occasions both as a child an as an adult. I've endured loss, as we all do, by death of a loved one and parent. I've lost the admiration and respect of my children. I've seen love in it's purest form, unconditional love, which I had never considered possible. I've also been gifted with abilities ... I'm artistic, articulate and witty (some say smartass). I love using my snarkiness to make others think, since it seems most people can't think for themselves any longer.

Yet, this isn't about me. You wanna know more about me, message me. This is really about you. You are what is happening right now.

Yeah, that was an improperly worded sentence. But, it spoke to you in some way. For you, read on. For you that do not quite understand what I mean, read on... please.

Do you get anxious when you read the news? Now, I'm not talking about the silly shit like stories about Sarah Palin or the lack of fashion in the workplace. Do you get anxious when you read about Ebola, Russia, ISIS, lack of privacy, yada, yada, yada?

If you say yes then turn off the TV and do something totally unconventional according to society standards. Do this... be quiet and listen. Yeah, listen... and look. Look for the small things that matter. Sounds elementary, eh? It isn't.

Life isn't quiet. We, as humans, have distractions bombarding us from every direction. It's a loud freakin' world we inhabit. Well, our bodies inhabit this place... this tiny little place in a grand universe. There is, however, a tiny voice within us that is screaming and as we quiet our minds, eliminating bit by bit the outside noises that chatter without true meaning, we can hear a message.

Too busy to quiet your mind? I'm sorry. You have your priorities misplaced.
Not heeding that small voice that screams at times? Shut up and listen.

I do not want to sound harsh or condescending. Not in the least. Those who know me will surely dis-own me if they aren't listening. Those who know me know that I'm a free-wheeling adventurous person who has always been searching for more of one thing or another.

But there is no one, no one at all, who would ever believe my words if I had told them of my Shamanic journeys and my meeting Archangels and others. I wouldn't believe it myself. Hell, I had never even believed in or studied angels. However, when I tapped into the energy of the Divine as I became a Reiki Master, strange things began to happen.

Again, ask me questions, that's okay. Bottom line is this... there are those who know that the light within comes from the divine above and that the divine above isn't associated with a religion. Those that know this are searching for their place in today's world. To those, I say, you know your place... and if you question your answer, let go of your ego.

This world is about to undergo a tremendous variety of change that includes fear, turmoil, death, mistrust, and renewal. That is okay, though. If you know your pace within that renewal there is nothing to fear. Better yet, if you heed that call, that tiny screaming voice, you will aid in avoiding the misery and pain of the eventual renewal.

We are all one. I've received that message from an Archangel named Jophiel. Scoff if you will.. that's ok. But, even modern physics, quantum style, proves that we are all connected by energy. My being and thoughts are yours. The body is immaterial.

I know, that's deep shit. Dig it.

When you become agitated and annoyed, look at yourself. How do you feel? That is how the person you focus those feelings upon feels. When you change your mood from upbeat to angry or otherwise, listen to your inner self and realize that someone or something outside of yourself put you there.

These are trying times. It's gonna get worse. Much worse. Trust lies within.

No, I'm not evangelizing or preaching. I'm not saying anything that you don't already know.

Listen. Learn. Love.

Peace and a big, fat Namaste.
