So my story starts with symptoms It is funny how life works out. Sometimes better than one expects, sometimes worse. Sometimes the worse leads to something far better than the best of the better lol! But rarely as one intends it. And one of the best lessons one can learn from that as one seeks to increase their control over their dream world (lucid dreaming while sleeping at night) and over their internal world through whatever effective means enhance one’s own awareness and ability to manifest their own nature and shed all the additives the matrix appends to one, one needs to foresake the enforced, compulsive, frantic attempts to control the world around them in deference to aligning oneself with the universe, letting the universe know what is wanted and letting the caravan insurance universe provide it in the best way that it sees fit. So, along those lines, I set out to provide Solutionism to the world at large as a way to empower individuals who can build stronger communities. Pretty much everyone that I talk to about Solutionism thinks it is a great idea and responds in an enthusiastic fashion. Growth has been a bit slow but a lot of work is being done to resolve that situation. Here is my lucid dreaming journal blog And then I discovered the role of the pineal gland in the brain as the junction between the body mind and spirit and I wanted to learn how to optimize its function. About a day later, my friend Ben Constant of Austin told me that there was free yoga on Labor Day at a place here in Austin called Yoga Yoga and I went. I took the class in Kundalini and guess what I found out… Kundalini is all about taking the unused reservoir of energy around the base of the spine and moving it up into the pineal to activate and optimize one’s spirituality as it is engaged with interplay with the pineal. There are many other manifestations of solutions which have occured over the last couple of months. Meanwhile here is a list of solutions which have mainfested in my life over the last two months since my attendance at Porc(upine) Freedom Festival in Northern New Hampshire and my first public presentations about Solutionism which you see here… I am sure this volkswagen parts will not be a complete list but here is what comes immediatly to mind. 1. My dad… never knew him too well. My brother is a very antagonistic and nasty individual and was harshly critical of my dad and of me while we were growing up and unfortunately I bought into it. I didn’t know myself well and didn’t even realize that there was supposed to be joy in my life and that I should find those things that brought my joy and follow them. So, since I didn’t know myself very well I certainly didn’t know my dad very well. also, my dad was often working. Then in more recent years my dad has had more physical problems then you would expect anyone to be able to survive and is on many meds and is living in a VA hospital surrounded by scary old people strapped into machines and kept alive through tubes pumping things in and out. He is in relatively good shape compared to those poor souls but his mental condition was not the greatest. And it was hard to blame him. After all, how would I have managed to survive all the pain that he has been through? Hopefully the universe will never consider it necessary to have me discover the answer to that question. Anyway, I visited him when I was in NY recently and somehow he changed. He is now much more “with it”, much more alive in spirit and sensible in his thoughts and actions and I feel that for the first time this lifetime, I have a dad. And one who i can admire because he is a survivor and has regained his playful spirit. As a sleazy pirate in New Orleans once told me at a poetry slam “you are always free regardless of circumstances” 2. My “diabetes” and other physical conditions. I had a problem with being overweight, having trouble walking up stairs, having sometimes a VERY dry mouth, having to drink and pee almost constantly and other unpleasantries. Over the last year I had lost a lot of weight which I had attributed to swimming and not eating gmo, msg, etc laden food. But as it turns out I had diabetes and was diagnosed in mid June when i was in the doctor’s office and my blood sugar was more than 3X normal range and another test showed my average blood sugar at 11.8 on a scale of 1-12 over the previous three months with 6-7 being a good normal score. Just last night I attended a lecture by a successful internet marketer and his advice to refocus one’s focus from business to life and living enhances both live/living AND the success of business actually has me inclined to move back into making music again. Financially, things are considerably less stressful and requiring considerably less effort and two new opportunities have emerged in just the last couple of weeks which align purposes with the opportunity to make good money in the areas of legalizing hemp and getting people prepared for any negative eventuality such as natural or financial diasters that might be coming down the pike with high quality nutrition storable foods We live in times that are not for the weak of heart or stomatch lol Solutionism is an opportunity to empower yourself for the changes that are coming and for a better life in the present and to connect up with your neighbors and make stronger communities where all can flourish and prosper. Ok, so I got diagnosed and started taking meds and herbs and stuff and I knocked the blood sugar into normal range but with the meds! Then, enter Ken Russel into my life with his amazing chromium lotion and I have not had meds since! My blood sugar has been amazingly consistent and averaging 92 upon waking for the last 6 weeks or so without meds. Now, Ken is 60 and benchpresses 300 lbs! Similarly I have had tremendous improvements in my overall strength, agility and energy since using his lotion! When I first met Ken and started to use his lotion I wanted to get the stuff checked out by some third party. So I called on my friend Matt Buckley, DC and I have been seeing him regularly and yesterday he told me that the parasites that I had in my body (which pretty much everyone has and which are also an underlying factor to many non optimum physical conditions) were gone. So this has been helping my health as well. 3 Spiritual – Seeking a new spiritual path I bought a few books randomly and the first one had the main lesson that I had to learn and that many of us need to learn – fear and anger are in the past and future, only love, peace and joy are in the present moment. The ramifications of this in my life are huge. After leaving Porcfest to head home I had an actual epipahny where i realized that, for certain individuals that i had had a falling out with over the last year or so, I was keeping a score card of how they had wronged me and why I couldn’t have affinity for them anymore. Well, I suddenly made this decision in an instant that I was going to have more love in my heart and throw away my scorecard and I contacted some of these individuals to tell them that, while I did not like what they did, I love them and appreciate all the good stuff that they do otherwise. Still seeking to define and populate my new spiritual path i saw the movie Inception and Lucid Dreaming is a total passion for me now.
