One thought leads to another and another.

I’m contemplating a number of income ideas, as I think my consulting gig has dried up. Deciding which one to pursue is always a big risk…

If you’re at all like me (and really, what idiot would be?), when faced with a big creative project like writing a book, the first thing you should do is just relinquish all control over the process because, quite frankly, you don’t have a clue where it is going to head…

I received an email the other day from a woman who had commented on my “Liquid Level” article. Due to a number of things, including being a “Liquid,” she had experienced much loss…

Stop. Look around you. Look at what you’ve accomplished, at what you’ve created. Look at this moment right now and realize that everything in your life has led you here – to this moment. To right now. Your father’s life. your mother’s. Your grandparents, great grandparents, all the way back through history – back to the dawning of Time. Their actions have created this exact moment. This point in your life. If any one action, one decision, one hesitation was done different – you wouldn’t be here.

Think about it. Are you living up to this miracle?

After watching the inauguration, I packed up camp and headed out to a piece of state land that I had scoped out last week. Free camping, great Internet reception, privacy and even closer to civilization. Can’t beat that.

One of the things I’ve been contemplating lately is writing another book. I’ve been trying to decide if it should be fiction on non. Not knowing, I went for a hike…

I have been shooting photos for a couple decades now, and one of the things that has caused me no end of frustration, has been lugging the tripod up and down steep mountain trails. There just never seemed to be a good way to carry the damn thing (just thinking about it gets me frustrated). I’ve finally figured it out and now have a very lightweight, versatile, comfortable, simple, take-anywhere-all-purpose camera rig…

Note:

Many of my past lives have revealed a pattern of abandonment—either I leave loved ones, or they leave me. Though I stress that we shouldn’t identify with our past lives—thus adding them to our ego story—we can, and should, learn from any patterns that we see repeated in multiple lives.

A Feeling of Tension

Early yesterday morning, as I lay in bed, I put the headphones on and listened to my “Past Life Recall” mp3. I had been feeling lately like there was a key… something, that I was missing and hoped that the recording could help.

I had posted a comment on a Near Death Experience Yahoo Forum and got what read like a bit of attitude from one of the readers, probably due to a misunderstanding of my terminology. My clarification is below the break, but the point I was trying to make was that thinking of yourself as a Soul is not a hinderance to enlightenment, but rather a very important step…

As luck would have it, I think I’ve got the best campsite in the entire park. Lucky #13 has a great view of the lake. I don’t know how the spot was open. Superstitious folks I guess.

Yesterday, after setting up camp, I rushed back into Phoenix for a Photo Expo and sold all my camera equipment (aside from my new camera and my trusty carbon-fiber tripod). My thoughts are that in a year or so, they will have a camera of the quality of my old 1Ds, but in the size – and more importantly, weight – of my new camera. I still have mental reservations but my back is thanking me already.

As part of my website facelift, I’ve added a photo gallery – My Favorite Photos from 2008. Clicking on any thumbnail will expand it and provide a link to “Steal this Photo.” – Enjoy!

Prior to my enlightenment, I had been using Centerpointe’s Holosync meditation CDs for around 9 years and I can’t say enough about how powerful they are. They literally “cleanse” your brain–clearing out old assumptions, repressed memories and negative conditioning…

I’ve made a lot of changes to the blog. Please check it out and let me know if you see or have any problems with it.

I’ve spent yesterday and most of today upgrading WordPress (the blog software) playing with plugins, changing the layout, etc. Still want to add some new tabs across the top and re-write a few of the info pages yet. I know I’m speaking Comp-nerd-ian, but you get the point.

The blog should look like the image below the break…

It rained most of yesterday, last night and this morning. Since the campsite I had picked out on the BLM land is only accessible by dirt roads, I was concerned about getting the RV stuck in mud. So I smooth-talked my way into staying here (Catalina State Park) for another week.

I’m working on giving this blog a facelift – to make it more focused, useful, search engine friendly, and possibly profitable (via ads). Hopefully you’ll see some changes in a day or two.

I’ve been here in Catalina State Park for two weeks now. That’s the longest most parks allow you to stay and fits in well with my nature. Two weeks is usually long enough for me. I checked out some BLM locations yesterday, so maybe I’ll do a little boondocking starting tomorrow.

In regards to my focus – I’ll be making a few changes here and there…

As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, I’ve been waiting for my focus to clarify. What I want, need and feel I’m supposed to be doing. I set my mental alarm clock last night for 6 am, and at 6:01 this morning, my focus became clear…

I’ve been contemplating my “focus” over the last few days. What I should be focusing my attention on. What my message should be. What direction I want to take my work. 2008 was full of changes for me, a lot of things happened – and in a lot of different directions.

I hope to find more clarity of purpose in 2009, to open up to the stillness and allow more flow and harmony into this strange and nomadic life.
