Miraculous Life 

Greetings!

 
"There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle."

                                                      ~Albert Einstein
 
 
Hope you're having a miraculous day!

Loving What Is!
 
 
Eckhart and The Dalai Lama 
 
 
 
One of my favorite teachers in life, Eckhart Tolle, (pictured above, with The Dalai Lama) the author of the books, The Power of Now, and A New Earth, asks a brilliant question:
 
 
"How much of each day do you spend in a state of wishing that something was different?"
 
For the vast majority of humans, the answer is, "Most of it." Which means that we are spending most of our waking consciousness incapable of experiencing the infinite beauty of now. Additionally, when we operate in that state of dis-ease, we deactivate all forms of intelligence, thereby making life dark and difficult.
 
Some confuse the notion of loving what is (conscious powerfulness, or the Owner/Creator Mentality) with complacency or reservation (unconscious weakness, or the Victim Mentality).
 
If we wish to effect change in this life, the most powerful way we can set about accomplishing that is, paradoxically, by starting with practicing removing resistance to what is. To start literally loving what is.
 
Another of my favorite teachers, Byron Katie, authored a powerful book entitled just that...Loving What Is.
 
 
 
Byron Katie - Loving What Is 
 
 
In that book, she describes the process of removing resistance to what is and instead practicing returning to absolute peace with what is. She refers to that process as, "The Work." It's the work of freeing ourselves from the conditioning of our pasts that will have us believe that it's somehow wise to struggle against conditions and that the most effective way to inspire growth and change is through resistance.
 
I'm reminded of this when I see all those bumper stickers out there that read, "I'd rather be fishing", or, "I'd rather be driving a Titleist". Well, how about this instead, "I'd rather stop wishing anything was different!"
 
A good practice: start catching yourself complaining about anything, and replace that thought with an expression of deep and sincere gratitude. 
 
From that state of high vibrational intelligence, we activate our ability to grow, both individually and collectively.

For all you seafarers out there!!!
 
I'm organizing a personal transformation experience at sea. It's going to be a "DEEP SEE" voyage. Taking a thorough investigative look into your soul to solidly answer the question, "How do I most profoundly want to use my life?"
 
This one ain't for landlubbers. It'll be a week at sea. No coming back til the journey's done.
 
If you're interested in knowing more, send me a note.
 
I've found some amazing tall ships to charter around the world!!! Getting pumped!
