The Monkey and I are on record as supporters of NFL living legend Brett Favre’s decision to return to football in 2009.

We also contend that one’s view of Brett Favre has a lot to do with one’s view of one’s self. Do we believe that individuals should have a right to make decisions for themselves? Do we believe that individuals should have a right to pursue their dreams, aspirations, and goals? Do we believe that it is on the individual to decide what is best for one’s self? Do wish to blame a person or deride a person for being torn about his decisions. I mean, the man is a Libra. Should we be surprised that he is behaving like himself?

Whether what happened at Fort Hood is related to mind control, the themes in “Men Who Stare at Goats,” and the Virginia Tech Massacre, will probably never be fully known, but the evidence that “energetically” connects these events in the material world is alarming. Even if these events are not causally related and I am simply regurgitating conspiracy theories, on a energetic level there is no doubt about their relationship to one another. The common consciousness binding these events is the consciousness of killing.

I went off on Steve Pavlina but perhaps I should have instead viewed it as a wakeup call asking whether or not I am up to the task of deepening my intimate relationship. If I believe what I said in my response to Steve then my job now is to walk my talk. I realize that there is no better crucible of change than a marriage. Either you change and grow and live happily, or remain the same and live a life of misery. Hopefully if we chose the latter we have the strength and courage to distintegrate the unhealthy marriage…

The sole purpose of the Conscious Mind is to ensure the survival of the organism. The Subconscious Mind, on the other hand, is composed of the substance of infinite creation and is our connection to the divine…

“…What holds true for all great masters is that they were humble in nature. Humility is the core virtue of a true master. Giving up on your ego is the logical next step after having mastered conscious acting. Steve had progressed very far but he missed out on this challenge. The higher you rise, the deeper you fall…”

“…I simply understand that the law of creation is bigger than I am and that I cannot help my thoughts and beliefs from becoming real in my experience. Therefore I hold my thoughts steadfastly on the good. I do not do this with effort, as if I were commanding something to act. I simply relax in contemplation of the good, secure in the knowledge that everything rests with a power much greater than I am. I trust this power. I have complete faith and confidence in this power. I rely upon this power for guidance in all my daily affairs. I refuse to accept evil, and evil is gone. I accept good, and the supply and love of the universe are mine…”

desire-statementWhat exactly am I envisioning for my life? No wonder the universe is having trouble delivering my vision. My vision is convoluted! In my old desire statement I seem to be asking to be in the “process” of something. Who wants to be in the process of something? Screw process! I want to live in the manifested present.
