Losing Everything

Expanding on the lessons of Ron and the lesson of losing what we already have…

As humans we attach ourselves to the things around us, such as people and material things. It is acceptable to attach to these things, but only for a moment. Eventually we will all have to let go of what we have.

Yesterday, when finishing up with a Cancer Patient, I sat with her and discussed the possibilities of her losing her hair. She was very distraught over this topic and was hopeful that she would not lose her hair, as so many people go through. Being treated for Brain Cancer, she is very likely to lose most or all of her hair. To her this meant losing everything.

Thinking back to Ron’s lesson of letting go of what we have or enjoying it while it is there, then eventually letting it go. For me losing hair is not an issue as I am follicularly challenged, allowing me to see the beauty of those around me with or without hair. I often tell people, “The ideal world where everyone finds happiness, is where everyone is bald and ungroomed armpits.” We live in a society dictating how we should be perceived and if we do not fit the painted picture, we are not accepted or are isolated out of fear of saying the wrong thing. We are all individuals who want to be Loved…nothing more, nothing less.

When I told this patient about her options, I highly recommended her shaving her head as soon as she noticed hair coming out. Speaking from experience, it is a psychological transformation when we have the control of our destiny. Why not take control of your hair loss?

She replied, “You mean I should shave all my hair off?” I smiled, “No, only your head.” We both laughed as we both pictured each other with a body filled with hair.

Moving Mountains

I have been in training for this moment all my life, but it is now time to share the gift.  This is no ordinary gift, but it is a gift that everyone possesses within themselves.  It is a gift that everyone is told to keep locked up and hidden from the rest of the world.  It is a gift that has great potential, but with great potential comes great responsibility.  My intentions are to show others the simplicity of what life has to offer, but more importantly what we have to offer it.

Going back to the beginning of creation and following history through the years, we will see that we have been suppressed or even programmed to think a given way.  This way is about to change, for many are beginning to rediscover the The Way or also referred to as The Tao.  The Tao cannot be described.  The Tao cannot be learned.  Instead, The Tao is merely accepted.  This is a path of truth and it is a path of pure Love.  It is difficult to find true love only for one reason.  There is a giant roadblock in front of us and it is telling us we are not good enough or that we are not smart enough.  I am here to tell everyone that we are all smart enough and we all have the potential to move mountains.  Close your eyes for a moment and think about what I am about to describe to you.

We are on a boat and we are on vacation in Cozumel.  We are traveling from one island to the next when we pass a barge that is hauling sand to the next island.  Up close, this barge is very large.  From a distance these barges look very small compared to the island that it is traveling too.  Each barge has traveled to the island and was dumping sand one load at a time.  In comparison, it would be like taking a spoonful of sand out of a child’s sandbox, one spoonful at a time.  This is when the light bulb went off.  We are able to move islands one spoonful at a time.  Therefore it is safe to say the quite literally we can move a mountain one spoonful at a time.  We may need explosives and many varieties of power equipment, but we can literally move a mountain if that is what we wish.  If this is true, then why do we have roadblocks?

This roadblock is ourselves.
