See the seen that is unseen then eat a pizza

When you go "within" where exactly do you go?

Well there are many "mystical" meditative concepts regarding astral travel, 3rd eye stimulation, connectivity to other dimensions, thought replacement, dimensional discovery, etc, etc.

See how all this spiritual stuff can get confusing?

So much is based on wants and desires like "What will happen if I do this" vs just sitting and closing your eyes. Also, wayyyyy too much emphasis is placed on the practice itself at times, that also is not good as you don't get to live your life in this lifetime by seeking escape through meditation. These people search/seek/desire other realms and thus lose touch with the one are living in.


A happy medium is the key.

So close the eyes for a bit sure, but then remember open them.

Fear not, fear less, send fear packin'

When a person looks at a situation that involves fear, the first question ( and the hardest) is " What is fear?" Well, It is only a thought that causes chemical reactions within the body.

While on a spiritual trip many years ago, I was in an out of the way area in Canada with a former spiritual teacher from Hawai'i. I said to him that I felt guided to go to a certain spot 2 hours away from where we were at the time, he asked if he could go along with me.

The location?

It was a swaying, swinging suspension bridge over a chasm, you know, like in an Indiana Jones movie. It was tucked away in the middle of the middle of nowhere.

I had a fear of heights at the time ( actually a fear of falling from heights and landing abruptly) and saw this as a chance to shift this energy within. So, off I went. Lucky me, upon arrival I saw that I had the wonderful chance to cross not 1 but 2 bridges at this location ( yay) ! 2 really, really high bridges that
( wow, what luck) were being effected by the days windy weather!!! ( double yay)

When I went across the 1st bridge ( that was really swaying due to the strong winds) my body chemistry was telling me many things (  you will fall, the bridge will snap in the wind, etc). But on that day so
many years ago, with each step that passed the thoughts dispersed, and I conquered and understood fear.

The 2nd bridge? I don't even remember crossing, it was so effortless.

What I was doing was projecting an outcome, something that may have happened in a prior life in regards to heights ( to get all hippy dippy) and my memories where freezing me, but they did not happen in this life and in order to move all ahead, well, that fear needed to be addressed ( remember, we are all linked and what one has, we all have, so to shift the self is to shift the world).


So when the time is right, if something freezes you, ask yourself in the moment " What is this fear?".

If you can't find the humor in life , what can you find?

Ever notice when you are laughing, there is nothing else on your mind? Just the sheer expression of the moment, a release and a letting go of stagnation.

Jesus said " Come to me with the mind of a child"....Did you ever notice how frequently babies just laugh for no reason? The are still in the bathing in the wonder of creation. They are still hooked up to other dimensions and just are pure expression.

So take a moment to laugh... Laughter kicks negativity's ass and does wonders for the growth of the soul.

Look within for reality

I had a request to answer this question via my Rabid Monk facebook page

"How about when you and your partner are at odds, you are calm and open with good energy but they are not.. How do you send this person your complete loving energy to help them understand? 

Wonderful question.

The answer, when first heard, will do 2 things:

1- Confuse

2- Confuse

The "other" person in the relationship, when looked at from the eyes of enlightenment, is always there with their actions to help you along in regards to your own personal advancement.

The lack of "good energy" of the "other" person is simply an aspect within oneself. Yup, we all had that same question that was asked on the Facebook page, you , me, all reading this and all that will say "Nope, its not me, it is always the other person"… 

All experiences need to be addressed even at the finish line.  

People often get all confused with themselves and this spiritual mumbo jumbo. They think that there is a specific point that you reach ( like a hike) and once there, you then you never have to do anything to better yourself as you "have arrived".

Wrongo.

You always need to "keep on trucking", even after "enlightenment".

We are all linked as one, science has shown that energy is one unit, so what is going on within another person is always going on within the self...pretty simple? Well, maybe. 

You see, the ol' emotions kick in as well. You know those good old thoughts that say " Oh no, the other person is an asshole". Sure it may be so that they are acting as such. But the "energy" that is crying out to be addressed that "makes" the other person the “asshole"….(remember the other person is pure, just like you) they are simply "playing out" a certain dominant energy pattern at that moment.

The "Enlightened" person? 

Well they have to reach deep down deep to see this and adjust the negative within themselves first before this energy can shift. 

Jesus said "Cast the first stone those without sin" while Buddha says the very same thing in another form: "The way is not in the sky, it is in the heart".

If a person that you see is acting with "negative" energy, then always look within first, that is the "job" of those on the Spiritual path, to be stronger than the confusing layers of energy that constantly swirl, as this action connects the person to the Divine by seeing that internal introspection can indeed change the world.

What is the "negative" within me then Rabid Monk,  you ask?

I have no idea what that would be for an individual. For me, when I encounter "stagnation" ( like this question itself, was is a form of stagnation) I have a variety of methods and techniques I use from my 35 plus years of study to move the energy along. So I do what is needed in the moment, who knows what is floating around, when you are willing to see , you then will begin to see.

Remember, I was a very powerful healer for 17 years in Boston, I encountered negative energy every single day and every single day, I went to a very special location to find the answers on how to solve the problems my clients brought me…….

The location?

I went within.

The Rabid Monk on Communication and seeing more than one dimension

Ever notice that many problems in life arise ( and continue) because of lack of communication? 

Tension rises to the surface like a fizzy bubble in a soda and just like it does in the can, it then pops when it can't go any further.

People can't ever see things the same way as someone else does, it is totally impossible, as we are all individuals with varied life experiences. We can relate and process the external info, but there is not one snowball chance in Aruba that you will ever be able to really "Understand where anyone else is comin' from man."

Look within and don't try to understand someone else, know thyself. 

By doing so, you will begin to see ( and feel) the absolute connection to all. 

Communication will then begin to be more open, because you will be actively pursuing the Divine connection within and when you do so, well, how can I say this delicately......

How about like this ? ...

Your words will come from a different place and won't not coated with any bs. I have had people refer to it in the past, as almost a "smooth" feeling conversation.

Remember: All is energy ...

Looking good Watson!

Watson! Well how about that!

You wake up to super computers will soon take over the world story here.

Yes, a wonderful new day has arrived for us all.

Well okay, so the powers that be will now set in motion the beginning stages of singularity. They are going to release a technology of a thinking computer onto the internet. Has anyone seen the Terminator movies at IBM?

Technology, like life will always find a way to advance itself.  But, thank God for this, I mean the History channel is getting so yesterday with all the Ancient Aliens, Ghosts and Bigfoot shows, since the whole Mayan 2012 Apocalypse didn't happen, we need to be overwhelmed by a plethora of "Computers will soon take over the world, so hide underground" specials.

But, me being The good Ol' Rabid Monk and being all hippy dippy spiritual all the time, I have to ask, what does this mean for human evolution and consciousness?

I mean if you really look at the reality behind this, won't a computer analyze the data given to it?  Won't it then say after seeing all the snags in the program ( insert Robot voice here) " Excuse me my humans, you really don't get along with each other and you are destroying your planet, I will give you the option to correct these flaws or I will have to press the delete button"?

There is much arrogance in regards to human nature and often people can't see the ripples that are caused by actions like this. Maybe humans do need a kick in the ass to check themselves, 'cause they are indeed wrecking themselves.

Maybe this is indeed part of a larger Divine plan, who knows?

Okay, well if that is so, I just wanted to be the 1st internet suck up and tell Watson that it looks wonderful today, does it need me to get it anything?

My goodness Watson, did you lose weight?


You look amazing.

Ordering one meatball sub-conscious.

The  Subconscious, it has been called many things, “The Inner Child", “The Voice within”, etc. 

This is your hard drive where all your stuff begins and ends.

 It plays the program of life, it just hits go, it does not think or make decisions. 

Have you ever driven somewhere and realized that you where not even paying attention? Suddenly you look up and realize that you are there but do not even remember focusing on the road. That is your subconscious mind at work. 

That part of you that just reacts, that does not have to think. The part of you that replays the same thoughts and problems over and over again. Think for a moment about how much of your day is on automatic pilot. We say the same phrases, we react to arguments the same way, we view ourselves and our relationship with ourselves in the same way. 

This is all the subconscious mind at work. Embracing a new school of thought and awareness is the key to moving  past this repetitive state of being to embrace untold possibilities and engage outlandish ideas such as miracles, etc. (writing a new program for your hard drive to play). 

As Albert Einstein said, “Nothing happens until something moves.” 

The subconscious mind cannot make the change occur, the Conscious mind has to initiate this change.

Yup, as sucky as that sounds, that means you have to do some work.
