Tehya and the Ducks

My daughter will turn four on January 13th 2009. Sometimes she seems much more “grown-up” than she actually is. She uses vocabulary that a ten year old uses. She is witty, and she puts puzzles together in no time. Then there are moments when I am reminded of her innocence, and a child’s view of the world.

I have been struggling with guilt, over not being able to spend the time with my children and family that I would like too.

When I am not living with “presence” I am angry and resentful for not having what I think I deserve right now.

It comes and goes, because I know in my heart I am right where God intends me to be at this moment.

If I live in this “present moment,” I am constantly reminded why I am here.

To that end, let me tell you about Tehya and the Duck.

Today I picked Tehya up from Shanna’s acupuncturist/cranio-sacral therapist’s office. I gave Tehya the choice to go take a walk around Tumwater Fall’s Park, or go play on the toys next to the falls.

I really wanted to go for a walk around the falls because it is a very peaceful place. It is a very good place to meditate. It just happens that for the past three days, every time I have attempted to take some time and meditate, something has happened to disrupt that process. Yesterday it was a call from work on my day off. Last night it was Tehya kicking me in the back in bed. Tehya really wanted to go to play on the toys So I let Tehya lead me, and off we went.

We did the usual things. She made me watch her go back and for across the monkey bars. She is an amazing climber and athlete. Her lack of fear reminds me of myself and Beau.

She suggested we go down to the Deschutes River to see the ducks. We walked down to the rivers edge and saw four male ducks hanging out together. They swam toward us in anticipation of food I think.

We sat there for awhile talking to them. Tehya had all four named within two minutes. Intuition told me to go get them food. My first thought was how I didn’t want to drive anywhere because I thought it would disrupt my time with her. I listened to my intuition instead.

We ran back to the car and headed up to Safeway to get some bagels and rolls for the ducks.

By the time we got back, all but one female were gone. I tore a piece off my bagel and tossed it toward her. She grabbed it and shook it underwater to soften it up. Then lifted up her head and beak, swallowed the biggest piece. Tehya started giggling loudly, kind of like an adult “belly laugh.”

Within two minutes there were twenty or more ducks hanging out with us. The look on her face, and the brightness in her eyes amazed me. One duck in particular, stayed within one foot of her left side during the entire time we fed them

I held a piece of roll by the tip of my finger so a duck could grab it. One fearless male reached out and grabbed it. Tehya’s laughter over seeing this was a laughter I have never heard from her. I sensed wonder and bliss within her. Tehya was experiencing pure joy over something she had never experienced before, and it was magical too her.

She asked me if she could do it. I spent a minute explaining how to hold the bread. She held a piece out and the same male snatched it and the ducks beak grabbed onto the tip of her finger. She giggled at that too, but decided she didn’t want to feed them by hand anymore. Each time I did it, she giggled, and I felt more in spirit than I have in days.

We spent the better part of 20 minutes feeding the ducks. That 20 minute piece in time is one of the more beautiful in recent memory.

I was reminded that although that moment with my daughter was small in time, it was huge in content
The coolest part of it all is I was led by her. I got out of the way and put her interest first, over what I thought I needed and was amazed at the results.

a very synchronistic day

My primary source of income has been dreadfully slow the past few months. October 2008 was the worst month on record in well over 15 years. People are scared. I try to avoid fear, and continue to have faith. When I live with purpose and in present moment awareness it’s pretty easy to transcend fear.

When I am able to do all that, I am able to see the magic in life.

Yesterday I sold a car to a young gay couple. Not that it really matters, except when I refer to “her” twice, it might confuse the reader.

The car deal actually started three days ago. They both came in on Thursday. Their intention was to trade in a car they currently owed money on, into something much cheaper. In the end they traded their car, and ended up owning our car for very little out of pocket.

Yesterday I went to Subaru training in Seattle. We sat in the Fox Sports Lounge at Quest Field and compared cars. Although I didn’t know it, my son was on a field trip to the Seattle Auto Show, and was in the same building, less than 500 yards from me. I ended up seeing him. It was pretty neat. I was able to give him some goodies I got from Subaru.

We ended up back at the dealership at about 3:30. Keith dropped me on the street and I was just going to go home. I got the intuition to do the opposite so I walked inside. I walked in the sales office, and there sat one of the girls, check in hand, after a “thumbs up” from her mechanic was given to her. If I would have been 5 minutes later that deal would have been turned to another salesperson to complete the process, and that would have cost me money.

Today I got up, not really wanting to go stand around a car lot all day. The morning was difficult. At about 3:30 the other girl showed up to sign paperwork. I grabbed her license to make a copy and was amazed when I saw her birthday was 1-13. That is my daughter’s birthday.

I should also note during the course of the process, I learned on of their professions was a counselor specializing in domestic violence.

At about 6:15 PM I was standing outside, letting the raindrops hit my face. I was meditating, asking God to give me some “purpose” on the car lot. I walked back inside, stood a few moments and then joined a few of my peers in the alcove on the other side of the building.

I wasn’t out there more than a minute when two ladies pulled up in a Honda Civic, asking when we closed. Told them we closed at 7:00 and told them to “pull on in.” We hit it off pretty quick. I learned they were sisters. I learned that one was “kind of” looking, while helping her sister find a car.

I showed them a TDI Jetta and they drove it. I showed them a Subaru Legacy, and one of them fell in love with it. On the test drive of the Subaru, I glanced down at the digital clock and it read 1:11. Immediately I knew this “chance” encounter was not by chance at all. She indicated she couldn’t make a decision tonight because she had to sort out some financial stuff and talk to her husband. She agreed to keep the car overnight, then I realized my current store policy on letting customers do that had changed.

They sat down at my desk, and one of them pointed out my “Angel Numbers” book and crossed referenced “The Secret” to the book. I told them about my experiences with the Law of Attraction, Angels, Synchronicity, etc.

Somewhere during the conversation I was compelled to ask them their birthdays. One was 10-21, and the other’s was 9-2. I had to stop for a minute and them realized 9-2 was Shanna’s birthday. I told her, and then I pointed out that I don’t believe in coincidence anymore.

In one day I dealt with two female customers, both with the same birthdays as my daughter and partner. WoW!

I ran out to my car and grabbed three books that I had in my back pack. She picked up The New Revelations, By Neale Donald Walsch, a very warm, kind, caring, enlightened human being. He is also the author of all the Conversations With God series. I told her she could take it home and read it and return it when she is done.

It amazed me as I watched her and her sister’s reactions as they were reading. There heads were moving up and down in a yes motion, as if everything they were reading completely resonated within them. Even more powerful were the smiles on their faces.

I penciled out some figures on the car, set an appointment for tomorrow noon with her husband and bid them farewell. With any luck I will sell them a car and make a few friends tomorrow.

Before they leave, whether they buy a car or not, I will give them a hard copy of this and another piece I am working on, because that was the core purpose of our meeting, I believe

All in all, once I decided to surrender and ask for it, the universe in all its wisdom provided me a pretty magical day.

Go Well!!

Namaste

Part of the "problem" or part of the "solution"

Thank you again for reading my blog. My hope is my ideas will inspire each and every one of you to action. One person at a time, we can affect change.

I got to thinking today. Here is what I came up with.

At any given moment throughout the day, unless you are asleep, you are either part of the problem, or part of the solution.

If you are living in awareness, in the present moment, appreciating the sound of the rain ,you are most likely at that present moment, living as part of the solution.

If you are lstening to the rain, or your young child, worried about your stock losing money, or the fight you got in at work, you are probably at that present point in time a part of the problem.

The simple truth is, the past is just that, and the future does not exist.

I put about 50 car keys into about 50 boxes, each morning when I open Hanson Motors. This morning it was blowing and raining sideways. I wasn't too thrilled to be there to begin with.

To be part of the solution was as simple as embracing the rain, going back into "little kid" mode, being mindful of each key placement, noticing the birds flying, the red and gold leaves flying off the trees, feeling the wind and raindrops hit my face, and enjoying a warm cup of coffee when I was finished. Being mindful of all the care that went into getting that coffee bean into my cup. From the dirt in South America maybe, to a coffee bean farmer, to the truck driver that drove it to the factory, I saw the perfection of it all.

To be part of the problem would be to continue telling myself I hate my job...I want to write books....I don't have a purpose here anymore..etc..etc..etc...

Don't get me wrong, I still go through that "stuff." At its core its basically fear

To be part of the solution I continue to have faith in a higher purpose. From a personal level, God still wants me to be at Hanson Motors, and if I continue to have faith, and follow the paths and wisdom of Ghandi, MLK, Lincoln, Einstein, Mother Theresa, etc...I will be given the opportunity and resources to follow my Spiritual/Soul purpose while I am on this earth.

To be part of the problem I stand around the car lot with the majority of salespeople and talk about "how bad it is."

To be part of the solution, I am greatful for having a home and a car that runs, and a paid off boat, and equity in my house, and healthy kids, then I visualize the life i see myself living, and the freedom that will give all of my family and friends

Then out of the "blue" a customer comes on the lot whose birthday is something like 9-11.

To be a part of the problem I watch the news, and focus my attention on all the negative energy involved.

To be part of the solution I meditate and talk to God, I pick up a good...spiritual...insprational...educational book...or I pray.

To be part of the problem I continue to focus on how i'm going to break free of the car business.

To be part of the solution, I work on my book, I work on my piece about synchronicity in my life, I write on this blog, I write down my plan for revolutionizing "addiction/recovery/treatment", I offer support and guidance to people who are undergoing radical spiritual occurrances in their lives.

To be part of the problem I focus on what I can get from people. To be part of the solution I focus on how I can be of service and what I'm meant to learn from the interaction.

To be part of the problem I "talk" about how screwed up our government is...and how unfair stuff is...and how our civil rights are dissappearing.

To be part of the solution I actually become active in what I would like to see changed, without the thought of fear or retribution...in most cases, and remembering timing and delivery is everything.

To be a part of the solution I am led by divine guidance, gut, or intuition. To be part of the problem I am led by others, or fear.

Here is a mini reading list:

The Way of The Peaceful Warrior
The Secret- Book and Movie
Conversations with God- Books 1,2,3, and the new revelations, and the movie
The Celestine Prophecy
The Four Agreements
Anything on 2012

Have fun

Thanks for letting me spout

something to ponder

Thanks for the feedback.

On 7-1-07 when I began this amazing enlightenment process I was immediately riddled with fear about the current state of affairs on this planet.

I woke up to all the violence, and destruction, and death, and greed and all that other horrible stuff that most people chose to label as "reality." I started to see through alot of this "stuff" and began to really start reading between the lines. What I saw, researched, read, and learned was frightening

I hold steadfast to the truth that all this "stuff" is caused by some very evil individuals, concerned primarily with power, money, control, domination, etc... I believe there primary Modus Operandi is "fear." I don't think they have anything like what you or I would consider "morals."

Upon learning this truth I became passionate about sharing what I know with anyone who would listen. I want to see change, and it is my primary purpose in life right now.

Mr. Ghandi, Mr. King, Mr. Einstein, Mr. Kennedy, Mother Theresa made it their primary purpose, now its mine.

It may sound odd, but I don't care. I feel Mr. Ghandi's soul/spirit very deep within my own, and according to numerologists (originally Jewish mystics) say Mr. Ghandi and I share a distinctly similar life path. Maybe thats why I see him in meditation...hear his voice...and dream about him.

On a much lighter note..and something that brings about a much higher vibration for me is the truth that I can create my own reality using the Universal Law of Attraction, and present moment awareness. I have been doing it since my awakening, and I am 100% convinced it works.

There are a ton of authors right now talking about "it." As we draw nearer to this "shift" in 2012, I believe more of us will awaken to who we really are, and what are true purpose is on this earth.

I manifest money, positive realtionships, "coincidences" etc...simply by living in gratitude of the moment, meditating, and visualizing.

I am currently manifesting a core group of individuals....modern day patriots if you will...who understands their is nothing to fear...who are willing to stand up and say "enough" but who are also enlightened enough to understand the very simple truth found through "present moment awareness," and who wish to see a world of peace.

A "reality" is only a "reality" because you have accepted it as such. When an inspired individual chooses to create a new reality, amazing things happen. When an inspired group of individuals decide to change their reality, new countries have been born.

I get tangible proof it works for me each day. Most days feel like i'm in a movie or a dream. I go moment to moment waiting for the next meaningful interaction...both "good" or "bad." You see, it's not really good or bad....it just "is"..and its mostly an opportunity for me to learn from it...if I allow it to teach me.

Humanity has been led astray for a long time.

The most important thing to remember is this:

You are much more important than you think you are.
Your life has divine purpose.
Your thoughts are powerful. Choose them wisely. Focus on positive outcomes. Banish fear, it doesn't really exist. "Thoughts Become Things."

LISTEN TO YOUR INTUITION....ITS ACTUALLY GOD TRYING TO GET YOU TO LISTEN

Blayne..Your thoughts are on track. Keep working to affect change. There are a lot of people who have the same thoughts you do. Term limits is by all means the answer to a lot of the problems. I would also like to see the politicians have to sign up for medicare when they turn 65.They currently have the best health insurance the country has to offer. If they had to have Medicare and face Drs. offices refusal to see them because medicare pays so little, you can bet there would be change. I could easily put my grandkids though college with the taxes your dad and I pay. Why can't I keep my money and do just that? Why don't all families help each other and not rely on the government? Why are people who choose not to work given a free ride with things like social security disability and medicaid? I am not talking about people who are truly disabled, I'm talking about the freeloaders I see on a daily basis. If there weren't all of the government give away programs that people have become so dependent on, government would lose it's power and the people would have a say. The people who depend on the programs would have to find their way, just like we do. Our country would really benefit. People who lobby in Washington for profit should be banned. We get more stuff crammed down our throats via lobbyists than you can imagine. Thanks for caring Blayne. Who knows..You may actually be able to make a difference one day. I love you very much..Mom

On the eve of the election

First, thank you to anyone wherever you are, for reading this blog.

I am a believer of "being the change I wish to see in others." In my dealings with other people, especially when it comes to political opinion, I tend to keep my ideas to myself.

Quite frankly, much of what I attempt to share with people I come in contact with on a day to day basis is met with skepticism.

I am very passionate about this subject. I wasn't always this way.

You see, I took most things that happened to me on a personal level and a global level at "face value" until I began to wake up on 7-1-07.

What I see now is evil in the face of corporate greed, corrupt politicians,and power brokers that don't have one ounce of consciousness. These are the folks that create war, violence, poverty, death, and destruction without any concern.

What I know for sure is the fact that these individual's reign of terror is almost over. A shift of consciousness is coming rapidly, and they will have their day in Court

I believed in my government 100%. I believed what they said to me as being 100% truthful. I'm not so sure of that anymore, and it frightens me a bit.

I always assumed that our country's leadership had the peoples best interest in mind and i'm not so sure of that anymore.

What frightens me most, is the thought of being labeled a "terrorist" if I share my beliefs.

Our country was founded on free speech. Right now many of our civil rights as set forth in The Constitution of the United States are being infringed upon, and the common citizen doesn't even know its happening.

September 11th 2001, although very tragic, set in motion the "closing down" of our modern democracy.

If our forefathers could speak as one, I believe this is what they would say:

My fellow Countrymen. Now is the time to rise up against tyranny. Your political and economical system is at the brink of collapse. Here is a very short list of what must be changed immediately if the pursuit of Life, Liberty, and Happiness is to continue.

1. The electoral college must go away. Presidential elections must be decided by a popular vote.

2. Your House of Representatives, Congress, and Supreme Court is to be dissolved. Everyone currently in office is to finish out his or her term and them be replaced. Within four years fresh ideas will prevail. Term limits are the key to success. It's harder for corruption to prevail in this environment.

3. Your tax law is a fraud. You have been being overtaxed for decades. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. This was never intended. Tax Law needs to be reevaluated.

4. It's time to start listening to people who are concerned about the direction of this great nation. We suggest a very bright young woman named Naomi Wolf. She has a 42 minute vidoe on YOUTUBE. She is our voice!!!

5. Step away from party lines. This is a non-partisan issue.

Thanks for letting me share.

Namaste
