Musings of a Spiritual Warrior

16 May 2005

Saved by the bell, or by the Secretary of Defense as it were.  It seems that LA AFB will not be closing anytime soon.  What that seems to mean is that a change in the work environment and commute status is not likely to happen in the near term.  Oh well, I was hoping that Colorado might become a viable opportunity.  It seems that if so, it will have to be for a different company.  Hmm ... who knows what the universe holds.  We create our own destiny.  That includes our work and our homes and everything else that we engage in.  Idyllwild is still a distinct possibility.  It would be a stretch for awhile, but if we can qualify for the loans, we could find a way to make it work.  That might make going home in the winter a bit troublesome.  But this winter was worse than most and wasn't that bad overall.

Not to worry.  My life is very much lived on automatic now.  It unfolds as it will.  And, I am happy to allow it to do so.  That does not mean that I don't have preferences.  However, I try not to impose them on others.  Why is that?  Why do I not believe that others would find my preferences just as beneficial as I find them?  Why am I so reluctant to impose my will on others?  The saying power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely comes to mind.  There is a sense that I have somehow abused power in the past and this is one of the built in checks and balances that ensures that I do not go overboard in this area again.  Knowing that, however, should be enough.  Having a healthy respect for power is good.  Being afraid of making decisions to the point of not exerting ones will toward having preferences takes things way too far.  So how do we correct the imbalance?  Why is it that we have preferences to begin with?  What happens if we allow our preferences to run amouk in our lives?  Is it what we would prefer that we choose to manifest ... or do we prefer that which is in our best interest and that of all concerned?  And, does not the latter come as a natural result of doing what we are moved to do when we are moved to do it?

What would I do next?  What would I be next?  How would I impact the world in a positive way ... in the most positive way that I can at the moment?  I ask that the circumstances be brought into my life that allow me to do exactly that.  I ask for a position that allows my abilities and talents to be used efficiently and effectly for the most benefit of all concerned.  I promise to do my part.  I promise to do whatever it takes to live up to my god-given potential and to help others do the same.  We do this by creating the foundations for a new world.  There are many who have pieces of these foundations.  But, how do we integrate them in a manner that truly serves all?  To start with, there must be awareness.  Before the pieces can be integrated, we must know that the pieces exist.  Then, we need minds that think with the big picture perspective to make connections between the many pieces and put the overall puzzle together.  We must come up with infrastructures that work for all of us ... with all of our differences and idiosyncracies.  We need something that allows life to be truly lived, in ways that it has never been lived before, except perhaps in our dreams.

I am amazed at the nature of the words that can come through me.  Something my wife said a week and a half ago comes to mind, something about not walking my talk.  The words are flowery and metaphysical, speaking of an ideal society ... but, I cannot even communicate in person to a single individual.  Hmm ... that does indeed seem to be the case.  Part of it is our of interest.  Here, I can speak with spirit, or for spirit directly.  This stream of consciousness is easy, it flows smoothly.  I don't have to think about it.  I don't have to be concerned with how anyone might react.  I can focus on bringing forth what can come forth in the moment.  There is something to be said for that.  But, what is it worth?  Clearly, it is a valuable training ground for developing intuition.  But, what professions require intuition as their chief weapon?  Interesting wording selected there.  The obvious answer is a spiritual warrior.  That is what I would be.  But, how do I get what I need in return?  Be what you say that you would be.  The universe will respond appropriately.  If you don't like how it responds, find something else to be.  Above all else, be open and flexible.  The universe has a role for you, but it may not be the one that you thing that you know it would be.  After all, then, where is the surprise?  And, life must have its surprises or it wouldn't be life.  Look for interesting behavior all around you.  And find ways to turn that into something useful.  Don't worry so much about the details.  You are here to understand the grand schemes and allow us to observe through your eyes and your mind how these schemes are working.  The grander you are able to look, the more that you allow us to see.  Make all of the connections that you can, especially between disparate things or disparate levels.  This allows us to collapse and compress the information structures ever more adding incredible richness to your experience. 

Hmm ... richness of experience versus focus.  Listened to the CD set Why French Woman don't Get Fat?  It was quite enlightening.  If this is true for many French women, they definitely have a way of living life to the fullest, one that should not be envied but should be imitated.  And, it applies to more than women.  Men definitely have much to learn from this as well.  Variety and quality can definitely take one far.  Though, it seems that consistency and quality are important as well, especially if you are in the business of producing goods and services.

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

LOVE,

Wayne
