I gotta get my "me" on

I said that out loud to myself in the car yesterday. I was feeling that I wasn't spending enough time with myself; time to laugh at myself, be entertained by myself, hear my heart's desires, hear silence, be a friend to me. Then this morning, someone sent me this........

I Can Always Enter My Vibrational Vortex of Creation... The key to getting inside your Vibrational Vortex of Creation; of experiencing the absolute absence of resistance; of achieving complete alignment with all that you have become and all that you desire, and of bringing to your physical experience everything that you desire - is being in the state of appreciation - and there is no more important object of attention to which you must flow your appreciation than that of self.

A Drink at the Genius Bar

After my computer crashed the other day, I found myself spending a lot of time at the Apple store, The Temple of Delightful Technology. I made an appointment through a friend's computer since mine wasn't working. The appointment was for Saturday at 11:15 am, which turned out to be during a downpour, and very stressful because you cannot be late or you don't get to see the wizard. I can't remember the last time it was so important to be on time, maybe never. I parked illegally right by the entrance to the mall and hauled in an armload of hardware.

The store was wall-to-wall people as I made my way to the Genius Bar and saw my name on the overhead screen. I was next in line which gave me a tremendous feeling of relief that I had made it and smugness that I was going to see the wizard. My name was called, and Norm was my genius. He moved at lightening speed plugging in my hard-drive and various components, chatting, being calm and friendly along the way. As I was there for over an hour, I witnessed the movie that someone needs to make.

There were at least 8 geniuses behind the bar, solving people's crisis with the smooth and debonair flair of teenaged, tatooed James Bonds. (I think you have to be 17 to work there.) This IS the new frontier, where two paradigms meet. The young agile technologically natural, ego-free problem solvers and the older techologically challenged old cowboys straddling up for some relief. The look of desperation of older men who had of course "done all the trouble-shooting" before resorting to coming and the housewife who needed the instructions repeated at least four times by her very patient genius are all followed by overwhelming gratitude when the problem is solved. The genius becomes the hero of the day, every ten minutes! The bar is the shore of the old and new world, being met not with war or hostility, but with kindness, grace and some serious smartness.

I think the real genius is the Apple culture. This scene exists wherever there is an Apple store. The one in New York City truly is a glass temple where one thousand miracles must occur on a daily basis. I wonder how many people have met and fallen in love in an Apple store? Whoever created this job called "the genius" is a genius. The self-esteem, the spirit of cooperation, the presence required, the instantaneous feedback of really helping someone and the non-gender based manners are intoxicating. At first I thought, well these people are going to have a hard time going out into the real world after this and finding a real job that is this fulfilling. Then I realized that thought was old paradigm thinking. This IS the new paradigm for jobs!

These are mystical days....

No Effort

Last night my daughter was telling me her boyfriend problems and how it seems like he has “cooled off” towards her. We had the conversation of "what does this mean and what should she do," etc. Should she withdraw too? Should she ask him? The endless mind loop of trying to strategize a relationship.

After a while, she looked at me and said, “Wait, why does there have to be so much effort?”

Well what a great reminder from the wisdom of Lana! She is exactly right. If there is effort, there is resistance and that is the path we are not looking for. It is a sure sign to turn in another direction where there is ease, where there is a flow, where it feels good, where it is natural. Sometimes we get addicted to those things that keep us constantly trying to swim upstream.

This is such a kind universe when we see that what we are supposed to be doing with our lives is exactly what is effortless and what feels good. What an incredible design.

Finding Your Edge

I was watching the movie “The Muse” with Sharon Stone last night. All of her clients come to her because they have “lost their edge” and she helps them get it back.

I just realized that the “edge” is a feeling you get when you are going for a desire. It is when you are going for something that is going to make you feel better. The stronger the desire, the better the anticipated feeling and the more edge you bring to everything you do.

It is almost like a reckless abandon brought to an ordinary action fueled by a strong desire. All the more reason to stay in touch with those sacred desires.

Why is it so much easier to get your free on in Venice Beach?

The Unflow

I love that incredible feeling when everything is happening perfectly; I am in the perfect place at the perfect time with the perfect surprise presenting itself.

But what about when you are absolutely NOT in the flow. Like today for example. I am in LA with a million things I want to get done and I can’t even get a rental car to begin my day. It has turned into a three hour nightmare of which I’ll spare you the grisly details. It ends with me in tears at Whole Foods trying to eat some sushi as the day continues to spiral into.... well you get the picture. Even as I am writing this, a large random hairball of grey hair has rolled onto my foot. Ewww!

So what went wrong?

Then I realize something. It is impossible to not be in the flow. Life is a flow. It’s just that my flow happened to look like RESISTANCE today. Maybe all this resistance is guiding me perfectly, beyond what I can see. I am so quick to judge frustration as bad, when it is just information flowing towards me, just the same as when so called good things are happening. It is the childs game of “you’re getting warmer, no colder, etc.”

Leaarning to love the full human experience without the judgment of good or bad....
