I have not been a participant in this community in the way that I had originally intended. It has taken a while but my life has recently shifted into a new focus. I have learned how to be gentle with myself, my information, and the majority of other things that I have cultivated in life. Every day I am presented with a new opportunity to learn and experience what it is to be a friend, to be a present person and the power that this gives to heal.
Forever I am grateful for the opportunity to have lived my life in the way that I have. I am also grateful for the opportunity that this community represents and i am going to take my time, figure out a way that I can truly be present here.  It is my desire to reach out to others as others have reached out to me but I would like this to be gentle. I no longer wish to battle over paradigm to push or to resist I have seen the futility in this behavior. I present myself here today to cultivate this incredibly powerful seed that has landed in my lap, and to truly reap the benefit of its arrival.
I'm still not entirely sure what this looks like, sounds like or any of the other details and i am not all that concerned about it. I just know that I have taken a look at what I have and I am prepared to give something new back.

This year seems like 10 years condensed squared and any other way to cleverly describe the hectic franticity of this past year. I've broken up re-emerged and am now moving on to all new heights of wellness. I am looking forward to re-connecting with my friends here at zaadz and sharing some of the downright upifting and heartwrenching stories, and as alway look forward to your input. 

Life of course is not a single player game, but we are the host, bandleader and cameras of your particular show.
What if we were all just searching for happiness not just money. Money only seems to be the end to ones problems. In truth our money problems likely are least responsible for the situation, it may be a factor but only one of many. It is impossible to say that money is the common thing that would represent happiness, as though life is some numbers game that we hope to be on the well ordered side of.

Saying that the universe is abundant by default and not by specific intent is entirely too narrow of a conversation to have, statictics is the thing you go to for that prediction yet it is still only a very well educated prediction. Is it possible that we do have true laws that few have learned,  because of their subtle non linear nature. The laws that we are aware of came from the simple idea, "hey I would like to do that."

New ideas are born every second, some will persue and forever alter our reality others will not yet they are still just as relevent.

May the Nature
of who we are,
Be
our drink of choice,
Become
our drink of life,
Quenching
thirst of others...

Sorry for the lenghty quote from Human Action by Ludwig von Mises but I couldn't resist :)
Demand for Money and Supply of Money:

"A medium of exchange is a good which people acquire neither for their own consumption nor for employment in their own production activities, but with the intention of exchanging it at a later date against those goods which they want to use either for consumption or for production.

Money is a medium of exchange. It is the most marketable good which people acquire because they want to offer it in later acts of interpersonal exchange. Money is the thing which serves as the generally accepted and commonly used medium of exchange. This is its only function. All the other functions which people ascribe to money are merely particular aspects of its primary and sole function, that of a medium of exchange.[3]

Media of exchange are economic goods. They are scarce; there is [p. 402] a demand for them. There are on the market people who desire to acquire them and are ready to exchange goods and services against them. Media of exchange have value in exchange. People make sacrifices for their acquisition; they pay "prices" for them. The peculiarity of these prices lies merely in the fact that they cannot be expressed in terms of money. In reference to the vendible goods and services we speak of prices or of money prices. In reference to money we speak of its purchasing power with regard to various vendible goods.

There exists a demand for media of exchange because people want to keep a store of them. Every member of a market society wants to have a definite amount of money in his pocket or box, a cash holding or cash balance of a definite height. Sometimes he wants to keep a larger cash holding, sometimes a smaller; in exceptional cases he may even renounce any cash holding. At any rate, the immense majority of people aim not only to own various vendible goods; they want no less to hold money. Their cash holding is not merely a residuum, an unspent margin of their wealth. It is not an unintentional remainder left over after all intentional acts of buying and selling have been consummated. Its amount is determined by a deliberate demand for cash. And as with all other goods, it is the changes in the relation between demand for and supply of money that bring about changes in the exchange ratio between money and the vendible goods.

Every piece of money is owned by one of the members of the market economy. The transfer of money from the control of one actor into that of another is temporally immediate and continuous. There is no fraction of time in between in which the money is not a part of an individual's or a firm's cash holding, but just in "circulation."[4] It is unsound to distinguish between circulating and idle money. It is no less faulty to distinguish between circulating money and hoarded money."

 

The Power of Vulnerability

A New Exploration of Consciousness

 

Do you want to feel the physical connection between your body and mind?

Do you know what your issues are but have difficulty "getting to the bottom of it"?

Would you be willing to explore these parts of yourself in a safe and supportive group setting?

 

The Power of Vulnerability is a workshop that will help us to connect to the deep, potent parts of ourselves.

While power and vulnerability may seem like polar opposites the truth is that in our deepest most vulnerable selves lies our greatest power and source of true healing and joy!

My friend Gabe has been telling me about doing manifestation work and being an active Qi Gong practitioner as well as yogi I kept on brushing it off. Of course I already know this stuff look at all the things I do I have a complete understanding of practicing gratuity and creation. When my ego finally released its stranglehold on my conciousness I realized that I was'nt practicing this on a regular basis, actually i had no such formal practice.
So I began and my ego krept back in and said " lets put this to the test, lets go win the lottery" so I went. I walked in with a strong intent "ok universe plop those numbers right here on my ticket, thank you very much!"  Then for the rest of the day I was glowing doing all sorts of meditations on all the wonderful things I would do with the money pay off this buy that. I decided i would go for a long walk, everything was alive with energy  then as I took my first step back onto my lawn something extraordinary dawned on me. I realized I had already won the lottery the moment i was concieved and this incredible life and amazing feelings were my prize, I am free to collect them every moment of every day. With the monetary prize in the background I am now collecting, the money is manifesting at all turns. Now to just get the universe to print me that ticket then I'll have an entirely different entry!

Trust is an issue that many struggle with myself being at the top of that list. While pondering the issue of trusting others and trusting god I arrive at the simple conclusion. First trust yourself, first learn the power of your own faith in yourself then and  only then can you begin to learn to trust in others.
Learn what it means to be able to fully recieve, to be able to fully recieve a compliment to be able to fully recieve your lovers gaze. It is within this ability to fully recieve that we find our trust this is where we find god and see it in others.

I see this in my practice time and again people convinced they have no way out no options in life. Once we begin adressing this notion of no possibilitys which is the survival state of the child mind, the belief systems begin to open up we train the adult in us to care for the child and allow space for the childs fear all the while knowing that there are options beyond the hopelessness of the emotion. It is rarely the circumstances we are in it is the state of belief that we percieve from which allows us to see. If we see no possibilities then there are none, but when we open to the notion of many possibilities the fear does not take reign it is simply a part of it not the substance.
I am happy that conciousness is moving this way, I hope it becomes more than just a conversation piece and becomes the truth that we begin to base our lives around. This is no small feat it requires much work beyond positive thinking we must take this extra step in order for it to be real and effective. It takes alot of work in order to reach these satates of clarity and intention. These are simple truths ( reffering to the laws of attraction) but we are not simple beings we are very complex, first we must understand this complexity bring the fears and pain to light then and only then can we return to the simplicity of attraction. This is the ultimate act of accepting ones truth, this is the state of accepting ones own raw humanity.
To be in presence  with anothers raw humanity is where healing takes place.

I just saw the movie Happy Feet, and yes it was pretty good but more importantly was the message. I find this theme in many of the modern animated movies the encroachment of man on the wild. This really brought it home for me the thought that every single one of my actions have a consequence. That consequence is maybe not seen or always known to me but there is an impact.
I left the movie feeling sad and inspired ( there may be a better word for that ) as I looked around the children also seemed sad but what scared me was the lack of inspiration in the parents. The dull almost blank looks the lack of reaction to what the children were feeling to what this movie was saying. As i walked into the parking lot I saw the sea of SUV's swearing that we are not acountable, while the feeling was swelling inside of me everything matters and it all makes a difference. I want us all to make a difference, but more importantly I am vowing that I will make a difference. Even if it goes unoticed, or I dont personally get to experience the benefits I will make a difference.
