Indeed I have been lax in posting here and it is not from lack of information or photos etc.  The timing just has not seemed right when the thoughts come to me.  I will start with a quote and follow it up with a few other things, thoughts, poetry etc.

Some interesting material in the MillionaireX1, daily quotes and inspiration, this one came from the daily quotes from MX1.

There is much truth in this saying:

Believe nothing, no matter where you read it,
or who said it, no matter if I have said it,
unless it agrees with your own reason
and your own common sense.
-Buddha

I have been enjoying many of the quotes as well as the inspirational messages.

Many of us seek outside ourselves for the solutions to our challenges.  This can often lead us astray. The main source comes from within and many of our answers, if not all, are there for us to uncover and discover.  It is wise to be guided by our own counsel. As Wayne Dyer puts it “If you want to follow your passion, be independent of the good opinion of others.”

Some poetry for you, if you would like to read it, starting here and more by following I Am With You, below:

I Am With You

I believe this gift will, at times, to you, signify
That this dream, as you call it, will last
A dream can a reality be, it’s all within the eye
To see, or not, and deeper still we travel beyond the past

Speaking of gifts, this one is natural, and following up the previous post about my friend, “the naked one”, here is a photo exposed and very soft to the touch. No it is not Pamela Anderson but she and it is from this very island, Vancouver Island. That is as far as I will go on that subject.  At least for now. Whew!

These are magnificent and awesome trees called arbutus around here. The bark peels off naturally. A true wonder of nature.

Before I go for now, I just wanted to mention to check out Lydia’s post on Manufacturing Personal Reality.  I have this belief that we create it all.  We can get hung up on the words and terminology but the essence is in there no matter what we choose to call it.

Ok will move on out of here for now, may you be blessed with good health,wealth, love and all that you truly desire.

Cheers,

Eugene

Out of head, out of mind.

Well if you are not out of your head, you should be.  That’s meditation-ally speaking, of course.  Many people, head people usually, have a tough time meditating. They may deny it, being in the ego state and in a perpetual state of the monkey mind with all its chatter clatter.

Yes, I have known some. It takes effort to meditate (not),  rather no-effort.  If you see it as effort, it will be, and it will be more difficult.  I know I have been there and it is a more of a letting go.

The mind, the ego, does not want to let go of anything or anyone.  Focusing on doing more of what you do not want, will get you more of the same of that do not want.  Just be and let go.  Some say it is to commune with God, universe,  source or whatever you wish to call that.

Speaking of serenity, and I do sometimes, speak of and to, serenity.  But this is not referring to a person in this case.  Here is a quote I received today.

“Meditation is returning to the source.

The inner source is serenity.

If you don’t realize the source within yourself, you are lost in confusion and sorrow.

It is not really speaking, thinking or any of that stuff.

Make sense?  Perhaps but when we try to make sense of things we sometimes lose the real meaning, trying to analyze things to death.  That keeps us in the head and not being in touch with who we really are.  Close your eyes, turn off the gadgets, noise, feel it, breathe it, allow it to flow, center yourself first.

I am not really going to give a mediation lesson here,  Wayne Dyer and many others have methods.  Google it.  Or better yet, Scroogle It.  Scroogle your Google.  Go with whatever feels right or try several of the methods, but do not get hung up on the methodology or you will stay stuck in your head.  That is not where you want to be as you will not truly experience meditation in that space. You can also meditate on an object such as a picture, or a peaceful scene. Here is one I took recently that captures a peaceful moment for me.

Cheers,
