Wayne Dyer has just released “The Shift,” a fascinating little book based on his unique docu-drama film of the same name (formerly titled “From Ambition to Meaning”). The Monkey and I have read it (and watched the film) and offer this humble book review…
The Monkey and I are not advocating doing anything unsafe while driving. In fact, we’re advocating extreme presence and awareness, thereby promoting road safety, among other things. So there.
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 third meditation in U.S. Andersen’s THREE MAGIC WORDS closes the discussion on the topic of MIND, in which Andersen explains that the human mind is dualistic in nature, comprised of the Subconscious and the Conscious Mind. 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…
The Monkey and I examine our priorities. What are they, how do I choose mine, how do I know if I’m doing the right thing?
What 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.
The Monkey and I discuss the power of “desire statements” and how we used one to amplify our “ideal business life.”
