Musings of a Spiritual Warrior

2 June 2005

Today was productive.  The mixture of water, lemon juice, maple syrup, and cayenne pepper is an interesting combination.  In fact, it was all that I drank today.  Not a single soda!  It's a start towards a healthier lifestyle anyway.  It tastes good enough that I should be able to stick to it.  Also, the food intake for the past two days was far lower than I normally consume.  It would be good to make that a habit as well.  Then, all that we need to add is exercise.  Taking some breaks to walk during the day would help alleviate some of the tiredness as well.  Though, there wasn't much of that today.  Still, I'm dying to do something different.  I'm good at what I do, but it is time for something new.  I'm committed to make that happen.  It would be nice if it were in some kind of a business of my own.  But, I can't think of anything at the moment that would bring in the kind of income that my current job does ... a level of income that I have become accustomed to and reliant on.  Simplify your life is one answer.  When your needs are simple, there are far more means to fulfill them.  Yet, at the same time, we should be able to enjoy whatever environment is conducive to working effectively.  My present compensation is the value set on my services by my employer.  If my employer were spirit herself, what value would she place on what I do?  How do I live in a manner that serves more?  Serves others, serves the world, or serves spirit.  It all comes down to the same thing.  I thought what I was doing here was just that.  However, it is not clear that such is the case.  Capturing this expression and sharing it on the WWW and in books just doesn't seem to be enough.  Spirit demands more, at least of me.  Or, I demand more of myself.  Hmm ... why is what I currently do not enough?  Because so much of my time and my life seems to be wasted doing things of little import.  Something Kipling wrote comes to mind, something about making every minute worth 60 seconds of distance run.  Every moment is important.  Every moment has the potential to be life impacting.  It is for us to appreciate each moment for what it is ... the gift of life, the gift of consciousness, the gift of Love.

What am I moved to do next?  It seems that the wheels of change have been set in motion and it is a matter of seeing where they lead.  To what degree am I allowed to express a preference?  And, if expressed, will it influence the outcome or not?  To what degree does destiny play its hand in all of this?  To what degree do we make our own destiny?  How much of this is done consciously verses at other than conscious levels?  What do I want to do with my life?  What specific differences would I make?  I would build the foundations for a new world.  Yes, that is a grandiose goal.  But, that is the task that I see is mine to do.  That is what all of my natural talents and training have prepared me for.  I would be a visionary, one who imagines what could be and even how to make it so.  At the basis of any society is a set of fundamental principles upon which its foundations are based.  Change the principles and the foundations are forced to adapt.  Change them a lot and the foundations may even crumble.  However, the ideas are already out there ready to replace any foundations that falter in any way.  It is a matter of allowing these ideas to see the light of day and work themselves into the mainstream.  They will do this because they are of utility, and for no other reason.

Sharing is how ideas get disseminated.  One way to share is what we do here.  But that is not an effective way to get ideas out to the masses.  That is where TV, movies, and the media come into play.  That is where tens and perhaps hundreds of millions of people are impacted daily.  Though, it is not clear that those are the people meant to be moved by what comes forth through me.  It seems that spirit has a far more select audience in mind.  Though, I do not know what this might be.  How else might I share?  Thus far, I have put stuff out there in the hopes that people might find me.  What about seeking those others that I am moved to be around?  Is this an area that I can control?  And, to what degree?  I have made some feeble attempts to do this in the past.  But, it seems time to do so in earnest.  You will meet who you are meant to meet, when you are meant to meet them, and not one moment before.  You are choosing your interactions carefully.  People still overwhelm you.  There ways are foreign to you, for you indeed are as a stranger in a strange land.  This will always be the case for you here, though you will find other strangers here, even some who are distinctly familiar.  You already know that the earth is not your home, and the changes that you are here to make are yours to see but not yours to experience.

I could fly higher than an eagle.  You are the wind beneath my wings  ...  Fly, fly, you let me fly so high ...  Thank God for you, the wind beneath my wings.

Flying in consciousness is something that I still do often.  So much, that life would not be the same without such experiences.  This very expression would not exist had the soaring not occurred in the early part of 1993.  Life has been a true adventure in consciousness ever since, an adventure that I would not give up for the world.  Hmm ... but is that not a form of attachment? 

I AM THAT I AM THAT YOU ARE!   Be Happy and Create Well!

LOVE,

Wayne
