The Painter’s Pallet
As I explore my spiritual path I am sometimes frustrated by the disarray or lack of sequential structure there is to my experiences. I have started to do and look into so many different things! This is a blessing and can be a curse. Things left half done is what my life can appear to be to me. I have recently found a solution to this. That is to spend some time several times a day reviewing all the things that I’ve been involved in and then select from them the most interesting and appealing to be involved in now. It must be something I enjoy or screw it.
So I kind of picture me standing in front of the canvas that is my life right now and I am the artist selecting the color I want to add to the canvas from my pallet. I am cocreating my reality moment by moment and to step back every so often to be aware of the myriad of choices I have as to what color I want to transfer from my abundant pallet to my canvas of infinite possibilities.

From dreams
IN THE DREAM:
I'm viewing a scene over a medicine wheel on the high desert. Very sparse just a lone tree and vague plants in the distance.
From the upper right quadrant a being floats in sort of zig zag and lands in the medicine wheel. He's middle aged Mongolian with plain modern Native American/western looking clothes plain cowboy hat trimmed mustache. He speaks clearly if a little quickly without any kind of accent in a matter of fact fashion.
"Thank you for letting me come in. I am the creative bird."
END OF DREAM
I awoke to this dream not too long ago. I have since tried to be open to the idea that there is some value in my being open to creative thinking and the possibility that it may be helpful to others somehow. After all I have lived an iinteresting life and have learned many lessons that may help otheres. There is so much to learn and so much bulls#*T to distract us from consciousness. Are we here just to compete for the shiniest things at the expense of others? I doubt it don't you?

A Christmas Gift
In 1976 I found myself working for Combined Insurance Company. A company started by W. Clement Stone, author of the book "Success Through a Positive Mental Attitude". Although logistically I couldn't continue with that company for more than 6 months some of the principals of Stone's philosophy have stayed with me. I experienced many examples the power of thought. I'm sure they enabled me to survive many hardships and persue the path of healing and spiritual growth that has led me to where I am today.
So here I am 32 years later reading the book "Mind Power Into the 21st Century" by John Kehoe.
I can only say thank you to Spirit for not being afraid to repeat in so many ways the same message.
There is one truth with many paths that lead to it.
Just as there are so many religeons with the same basic core belief, treat others the way you would like to be treated, there are hundreds of teachers that have been telling us that the mind is so much more powerful than we think. Or should I say the mind is exactly as powerful as we think.
"As you believeth in your heart so shall it be." "Think and Grow Rich." "Smile and the World Smiles With You." "The Secret" It is no secret! is it! It's nothing new. It's been said many times and many ways Merry Christmas.
I have been a scrooge for many years now resenting the idea that Christians manipulated the celebration of JC's birth to steal thunder from the Pagan's Solstice Celebrations. I also resented the fanatic gift giving and all the neurotic lengths we are trained to keep track of all the people we need to give gifts to and we all end up with s*#@ we don't need and won't use contributing to the exhaustion of dear Gaia's (Mother Earth's) resources blah blah blah
All I needed was love. I bought and gave Donana a gift this year and it felt good. She felt good getting it, I felt good buying it, the lady who made the necklace felt good selling it. It's all good. I don't imagine I'll ever go back to making lists of people I need to buy gifts for and budgeting so much money and spending so much time, energy etc. But I have regained some of the joy of Christmas in spite of the fact that man's organized religeon is pretty unspiritual and materialism has pretty nearly if not completely toasted our plantet.
I am awakening again to the greatest gift I have ever recieved. My mind. In all modesty it is a good one and when I take the time to keep in well tuned and healthy it can indeed do anything I set my mind to . I have been told I was a near genius since I was young. My Grandmother always told us about the quality of our lineage, the Mayflower, Edison's workshop in Menlo Park, Babson's adventures blah blah blah. You don't have to be a genius to use the power of positvie thought. I think tho if you are you may have better results but I have no data to back that up.
Nobody likes a know it all, don't be a smart ass, you're such a wisenheimer.
While it is true I have been damaged by circumstance and have had many wounds to uncover and heal, like layers of an onion. Without these chanllenges I would not have had so many opportunities to discover more and more miraculous tools for healing. It has been in the giving that I have recieved.
Finally lifting my lifelong battle with depression once and for always. It was the power of my mind set in the negative mode that caused me all the pain. Like Glinda the Good witch said. The power has been there for me all along. "There's no place like home." I am not seperate from the source of all power I and all are one with it are it I Am I cried.
And in the end the love I take is equal to the love I make.
So the Seven Principles and Corolaries of the Huna Philosophy as taught ot me by Serge Kahili King in Kawai take on a new brilliance.
The World is what you think it is.
There are no limits.
Energy flows where attention goes.
All Power comes from within.
Now is the moment of Power.
To Love is to be happy with.
Effectiveness is the measure of truth.
I may not have these in order, I don't think the order was ever an issue but they certainly do seem to contain all the wisdom your ever gonna need.
I especially like the one about to Love is to be happy with. So many people have said they loved someone or something and then set about tearing it or them apert and trying to remake it/them.
I am realy trying to make every single thought count for the good. It isn't without effort, I mean it sure doesn't come naturally t me. I hope the more I set the intention to have every thought go for the good blah blah blah
All you need is bleep. Quantum loving, the blending of science and religeon again the way it was in the good old days
come the awakening

on awakening
sleep is such a strange place, ever think about how odd it is that we spent roughly one third of our lives unconscious?!?!?!
have you ever tried not sleeping for as long as possible?
Thomas Edison used to nap with something in his hand when he fell asleep deep enough to drop what was in his hand it would wake him back up and then he would write down whatever ideas came to him at that time. He was a pretty smart guy............
MAYBE YOU COULD TRY THAT AND SEE IF YOU DON'T GET ANY IDEAS
Don't get smart with me! You wisenheimer.
