It’s my party and I can’t be an ass if I want to

and neither can you
You are all here with me and we’re going to make it ok.
I love us enough to fill up heaven, overflow, and fill hell.
That’s why I went and came back.

And since it’s my party here’s what I want-

I want us to know that we can be however and that it doesn’t dilute our gorgeousness- it is the lack of awareness that we are gorgeous that dilutes.
Your brilliance and the ability to be that is not a fragile, delicate, wavering, thing.
I want everyone to be a specialist in all styles.
I want to have this blog for more than a week before anyone feels beat down in the comments section.
I want us to stop being scared and paranoid- everybody loves you!
I want purple hair
I want some men to comment on this blog- where my boys at?
I want everyone who has commented thus far to know that we love each other- not from afar but real deep with real understanding. Even if we don’t understand just yet.

And finally, I want you to turn your speakers up real loud. And listen hard, and listen soft and soak it up.

And give me a break, you know I don’t agree that “the world has lost her way”.
But I do agree that “you are here with me and it makes it ok”.

Sex, Drugs, and Rock n’ Roll

Oh you just wait!

And if you can’t wait, just read Angela’s comment-

One Way

Did anyone notice that in one of the pictures above, of a street in the evening in Philadelphia, that there are one way signs pointing towards each other?
How to find the way?
Meditation, not meditation.
Vegetarian, steak lover.
I don’t think we can label each other like that. Too limiting, leaves too many people out. Let’s talk about all that much later. After we do the thing that people don’t like doing; you’ve got to love everyone. Actively.
I’m talkin’ to me, I’m talkin’ to you. I’m talking to people at Unity, keeping secrets with me about each other. I’m talking to the people who use to drink beer with me pre-death and don’t comment on here because they don’t know what all of this is now.
It’s a choice to be loving to everyone. When does our ability to keep making this choice end? Because the quality of our lives hang in the balance.
But don’t we just hate how other people are?
Sounds like a drag, what’s it going to take?
What if the other person’s a real psycho?
Or the nice version, “well they just don’t know.”
Oh I do love them, from far away.
Emotional safety.
Physical safety.
People want to find “the way” and the only way is your way.
You’re beautiful. So if you’re not being beautiful you’re not being the way.
Willingness.
Nothing is too big or too much. Nothing.
Death, a place of all your capabilities. Life a place of limitations?
If you knew that you were going to die today, wouldn’t you be exceptionally loving? And so on this death anniversary don’t even talk about George Bush until your family and friends feel exceptionally loved by you.

and maybe George too…..

Connections

It has been incredibly nice to hear from friends old and new. That’s what I hoped for most in starting this site. Welcome everyone!

I was asked why I said “NO!!!” to the question of meditation in a recent talk.
As I was explaining they said, “I get it! It’s that it’s just a ritual.”

My point is that we are connected right now!

RIGHT THIS VERY MOMENT YOU ARE COMPLETELY CONNECTED!!!

Awareness of this first and foremost.

Meditate all you want. But don’t think that you are only “connected” then. What’s different is that you are more aware that you are connected in meditation. But you always are connected, and it is our awareness of how gorgeous we are, all the time, that will change our world, because it will change our daily actions.
Awareness now! In all the things that we have to do today that are unlike being in meditation.
You are all ways connected. If you weren’t you wouldn’t be alive.
You can quiet the thoughts that aren’t in line with your goodness, but I suggest a more forward approach.

Own yourself now.
Own your beauty now.
Set it down for nothing.
And go forward in that.

You can, you can, you can, oh yes, you can!

There’s something in the air tonight….

I was talking to a friend who says that she’s feeling the marriage of this and that, her and it, the pace quickening, a culmination of everything she has heretofore thought and the present matching of that, and in the summoning of it all, she feels like she’s going to move an object. Telekinesis. Staring at the door thinking she may make it slam shut.
To which I said, “well you wouldn’t be moving the door itself, you’d be moving the air around it.”
Ahhh that makes sense,” she said.
After death I complained, “can’t you feel that?”
“Feel what?”
“This!” I’d say, waving my arm through the air in front of me, “don’t you feel that?”
How MUCH there is right here, looking and feeling like nothing to everyone. The air isn’t just the air it’s “god” pressing against you, holding your hand. It’s a force, tangible, always against your skin, whirling lightly around you.
That’s why breath is life. Taking that air in.
For every object the air around the object accounts for more than the object itself.
There’s more than there looks.
I got so excited and said to her, “this is what I do in my talks, it’s not about the words, it’s changing the air. That’s why I don’t want some people to walk away from the microphone yet, because their air hasn’t been changed….”
I’m changing the air at Unity on Sept. 23. It would be lovely to see you.
