A farmer and his donkey

This is a true story. A Farmer's donkey fall in a well. The Jackass cried piteously as the farmer tried to figure out what to do. He soon realized the situation was grim; the jackass was too old and the dangerous well needed to be covered anyway. So he called on some neighbors’ and they started shoveling the dirt. The plan was to bury the donkey and fill the dangerous well. So as each shovel of dirt went in the donkey would shake it off and stomp the dirt down and step up. In just a few hrs the dirt was so high the donkey was able to step out of the well to safety. The donkey showed us, to be aware that no matter how much dirt life tries to through on you, just need to shake it off and take a step up.

The Five simple rules of happiness

1)     1) Free your heart from hatred and forgive

2        2) Free your mind from worry. – most things never happen

3)       3) Live simply and appreciate what you have

4)       4) Give More

5)       5) Expect less

Now the end of the story goes like this; the donkey then later came back around to the farmer and bit the heck out of him. The gashes were so savior that they became infected and the farmer got very sick. 

So the moral is:

When you do something wrong and try to cover your ass, it will always come back to bit you.

"Are You Gonna Eat That?" trailer

The AYGET Trailer

The "Are You Gonna Eat That?" trailer is a preview of what you can expect

from the full length documentary, using footage from the first two days of

production only. Although, the final program will have a different "look",

the trailer definitely gives a sense of the issues that will be explored.

Do your thoughts serve you?

In my yoga class yesterday, the teacher talked on a conversation I had all day with people. She always seems to talk about things I am presently mindful of. She talked about how much of what we think does not serve us in the best way or even cause us to waste a lot of time on irrelevant actions. By our constant want from the outside, always wanting the next thing we influence our actions. This all stems from our thoughts of want. Want is almost never based on a reality. It is vital as the yogis say, to be conscious as thoughts arise before they create desire, influencing action that we take notice and analyze them. Do these thoughts serve me, are they real, are they based on a reality or just thoughts; are they for the good of me and all the rest of the world? Most thoughts are not of reality but what we create in our mind. Reality is all that remains constant regardless of our thoughts. Thought when festered can create actions that many times do not serve us well. This is what I have focused on very strongly over the past two years. Reading and listening to Eckhart Tolle the master of differentiating reality from thoughts. It is so true that most or our life experience, what we consider to be true, real and are subjected to is all created in our mind. They are all the thoughts that create the world we are living in. Once you step out of the mind and see what is really real around us do you begin to see the possibility of a different life experience. Then if you apply quantum physics like in The Secret or Dr. Wayne Dyer’s The Power Of Intention do you see the possibility of actually creating the life experience you want. It reminds me of a speaker at one of T. Harv Ecker’s seminars I attended called Master Your Mind, John Kehoe one of the grandfathers of thought consciousness and manifestation spoke. I must get his book Mind Power.
So let me ask you this:
What thoughts are you acting on that do not serve your true being, your heart, your purpose? Do they contribute to you being the person you wish to be? Are your thoughts just in your mind or are they inspired from reality?

Getting your finantial mind / life on track

This is a Must Read for anyone at any stage of improving their overall life experience.

A MUST READ

Money like everything in life is available or unavailable to us through our ability to attract it i.e. the power of attraction. The book Secrets Of A Millionaire Mind by T. Harv Eker identifies and clarifies how your internal conversation and opinions about money determine your financial success or failure. Like The Secret, Dr. Wayne Dyer, Eckhart Tolle and the lot, T Harv Eker teaches the secrets of wealth as it relates to our thinking. For me it started with the 3 day Millionaire Mind Intensive or MMI.

This changed my life.
I know I have blogged about this before but I cannot stress to you enough just how important this small step in life is. You simple have to take my word for it and GO! I could write to you here about 20 pages of how inspirational this event is, how fun it is, how eye opening it is, how much it will positively change your life but I won’t fill the page with my rambling, enthusiastic as it would be.

I have now taken 4 of his workshops and plan to do many more. Also I want to encourage you to GO NOW because Harv Is slowly turning the rains over to his staff and attending seminars where his is presenting is one of the best parts of the event.

Is there a plan to reduce the world population by 80% through the instigation of ww3 and famine?

I have heard so many reports from the likes of David Ike, Alex Jones, and many other alternative news sources that the real powers in the world are not federal level governments or even top world leaders but a few elite that have a global hand at manipulating political social conditions through discretely influencing global events. Meaning they create seemingly unconnected situation to produce a desired result. Like lining up the dominoes were the middle and the end dominoes have no idea of the beginning or even see more the one or two dominoes in front or behind each other. Let’s entertain this idea for a moment: create a fake petroleum deficiency to consequently create a demand for ethanol. The demand for ethanol drives the price of grains through the roof cutting off the impoverished global communities into an inevitable food shortage. Food shortages create social and political tensions, rioting, and the collapse of social and political control of the people. This is also aided by driving the price of precious metals like gold to an all time high inspiring investors to focus on grains as an alternative investment market, again driving the price of grains to an unaffordable high. Sound familiar? Could it be a plot to start a genocidal war? How long can we sustain such conditions before serious military intervention? Who will survive? Not the average joe! Not you , not me! According to insider reports, the US has produced enough food to feed nearly all the starving countries of the world. There has been the discovery of oil fields in Africa large enough to supply the world’s need for the next 300 years and there are many more discoveries then that. So what is the truth? Isn’t it time the people of the would demand an answer? We out number all the solders, all the armies, all the government officials, all the world leaders by billions. If we the citizens of the world want to create and have a life we choose, a society and peaceful existence on this planet we can demand it. We can create it ourselves. We can grow food at home, stop buying gas, cut our use of petroleum products. We are billions; reducing your consumption of petroleum by even 10% would be devastating to the petroleum stronghold. That would be a strong message to send. Avoid GMO, use sustainable products, denounce vaccinations and pharmaceuticals. We can uncover these elite agendas, throw out the governments and demand a system that serves a world of peace and enlightenment. Turn off Will and Grace and turn on your blowhorn. We must speak up now before the next bomb is dropped!

It's OK to make money with health

So my friend Kevin gianni got a load of heat from people for advertising, promoting and selling on his website and blog. This is the scarcity mindset of our culture that has allowed big money entities to rule over us and destroy the world we live in. Among a long list of other reasons for arguing this point this is the comment I posted on his blog this morning.

Listen, this attitude of not OK to make money is just ridicules. Look at it realistically. Everyone needs to make a living. We have life expenses; rent, mortgages, food, insurance, home, auto… So you need to make money. Now if you are a health expert wanting to help people with the knowledge and experience you have, it would only make sense to make that your source of income. If you have to work a day job pumping gas or sitting behind a desk in some office somewhere working for some one else, how much time energy and focus do you have left for those who are dependent on your health coaching / teaching… I spend all day researching, reading, experimenting and practicing my raw food business, website and blog to make sure I offer the best information and material for all those who patronize my efforts. There is not enough time in a day to keep up with all I do and none of this would happen if I had a day job. I would much prefer to get paid for what I am doing and dedicate my time as Kevin does to giving you all the best of what we offer. Or would you prefer i wait tablas at a Denny's and offer you no support in your journey to better health?

The other ridicules notion is the fear of being rich! And I mean really really rich. Let me ask you what i was asked at the Millionaire Mind Intensive. How many people can you help if you are too broke to help yourself? Really, how many people can you help if you are broke? How many people would you help if you were rich? How much could you contribute if you were really really really rich? At MMI they really focus on your pre-conditioned opinion of money, one that usually does not serve you well at all. I hear so many politically correct, self righteous people say they don’t eat raw and organic because it is too expensive. So instead they by cheap crap that feeds and supports the very thing they are fighting against. Organic may be too expensive to you but if you got off your blinded horse and made some freakin money it wouldn’t be. Organic farmers are way underpaid and we should be paying even more for what they do. If you are so politically correct, it is your responsibility to make enough money to support the very thing you believe in and are fighting for. How much good could you do for the world if you had money, if you were rich, really rich? I would much prefer I make Kevin Gianni really really rich then Donald Trump. Kevin would do great things, amazing things for the world if he were really rich. He is energetic, motivated, and active; his heart and intentions are in the right place. You should send him donations at least once a month for all he is doing and what he would be doing if he had more resources. Do you know what his computer cost are, his Internet connection, site hosting fees, email service frees, programmers fees, all his equipment, class and course fees, air fare and hotel for his courses all to learn more and educate himself so he can bring you all this amassing web content. FOR FREE? Are you nuts? He paid a lot for it shouldn’t you pay him in return? Many activist types sit on at home broke and complaining about how messed up things are and have no power to change it. If you care about the future at all, it is your responsibility to be rich. You can’t do didly when you are poor! I want to be rich because I have things I want to do to help the world, help people and contribute but have to be honest, it has been really tuff without the money to do so. I want to make videos to educate and share my knowledge but my camera is broken and I can’t afford a new one. I want to upgrade my raw food site to compete with the likes of the Food Network and Martha Stuart but I am to broke. I want to hit the main stream with raw foods and alternative health with information, products, coaching programs, retreats, vacations, clinics, spas and TV shows but I need to get rich to do it. So where are you going to put your money? My money goes to Kevin and those like him, not McDonalds or my Family Doctor. It comes down to the old saying; you are ether for us or against us. Which are you?

Elephants paint!

All my life I have had pets, Cats & Dogs mostly. It amazes me how close and what great friends pets can become. When you lay on the couch next to your cat and look into their eyes, talk to them, pet them you see there is something going on in there, there is someone in there. Thoughts, dreams, feeling, passions, love, companionship, jealousy… I never understood those who say animal have no feeling, killing for sport, killing for food, caging for entertainment and or course for research. These people are numb to life or have never taken the time to really look at the animal around them. If they are missing this what else are they missing. The general rule goes as this “how you do one thing is how you do everything”. Anyway research is proving more and more that animals have very complex brain functions, family values, tribal formation, social etiquette, emotional needs and spiritual connections. I would say they may have more of a life then many humans. Regardless of research this video show just how much these elephants are aware of their surroundings and may even dream of beauty and love. Watch this to the end you will be amazed.
