Messy messy on the wall- what did I do to deserve this?

“Who the hell has time for that!” said my sister-in-law, when I told her I was waking up at 4am to sit in contemplation to clear pain from my experience. This may sound a little strange, but for a while I took on some responsibility to clear energies from our collective consciousness, and so I would wake up at 4am when nobody could bother me (ya got it, no awake 3 year olds lurking around). I would sit in front of a candle and really process what was bothering me and I would connect to how other women felt the same way. Maybe it worked, maybe it didn’t. But, if you were feeling what I was feeling, when I was feeling it, I may have gotten rid of it all for all of us. Or at least my super woman persona would like to think so! And maybe some of us do this work for the whole so that openings to heal can seem more obvious.

I remember being so focused on this commitment, but to be honest, these days I’m kinda feeling like my sister-in-law- who the hell HAS time for self-reflection anyway?

Thank goodness for Monday nights. Because last night I took a hard look at a very messy situation I encountered. And most importantly how my inner world created the outward manifestation of this messiness.

So, now the trick is to balance the Taking Responsibility with Self Forgiveness. No should haves, or should not haves. It just was, is, and now I have choice to learn, and move on.

We get back what we put out. So, be aware of what brews inside and what comes out. And remember if you can’t hear the message and learn the lessons, the messages  get bigger and louder, and messier too.

And as Lidia said last night, “Resolve it all yourself because no one else gives a shit”. messy

Hugs,

Asha

Buddhism-A philosophy? A religion? Buddhists don’t like God?

I read an entry on Asha’s Stories-see http://www.facebook.com/#!/notes/asha-stories/pain-body-can-we-do-anything-about-it/289334947476  that intrigued me and wanted to post a comment but could not. After several attempts, I got it. This is where I had to post it. So.. here it goes.

Asha writes “I am connecting more and more to Divine Mother energy, and really trying to feel out what I want to take from Buddhism. Well, for starters I believe in God, and Buddhism does not, but as the Dalai Lama says, “Buddhism is not a religion, but a philosophy”, ok, cool, so I can be any religion and follow this philosophy, that works for me.”

Could there be a misunderstanding here? Mmmm….

What do we create when we distinguish between who we are, what we practice and what we believe?  Separations; dualities. Is there a difference between God and what we believe and practice? Let us define these words, both in Western parlance and in Buddhism and see what comes up.

The Dalai Lama said, ”Buddhism is a philosophy and not a religion”. Indeed, he said that. I heard it. But,  what did he mean?

 ”Buddhism does not believe in God”. I am not sure who said that, but I heard it for the past 30 years. What did these people mean?

Well.. these statements are both true and untrue. Yeah, I know…a koan? Not really. It has to do with reflecting (meditation?) on the words we use and “contemplating” the meaning  we attach to the words.

On Buddhism being a philosophy,  the Merriam- Webster dictionary defines philosphy as a “theory underlying or regarding a sphere of activity or thought.” Yes,  Buddhism is a philosophy.

 On Religion, Merriam-Webster also defines it as a set of “personal or institutionalized system” of attitudes, beliefs and practices. Buddhism is a set of practices (could it be a system? Oy, vey!) handed down by a monk a few milennia ago, that has blossomed into a “system of attitudes”, beliefs and practices (institutionalized? Shhh!).

The beliefs are the Four Noble Truths. The practices are spelled out in the Eighfold Path–the practices the Buddha taught and encouraged his followers to try out and examine their own results.  These practices led the Buddha to enlightenment–seeing “truth”, removing the veil of delusions. Twenty six hundreed years later, each Buddhist School (shall we define school too? I’ll let you do it) sees the possibility of enlightenment in this lifetime, in the next or after several lifetimes on the karmic path. Wouldn’t Buddhism be a religion, according to this definition?

What about God? It is not a belief in God that makes a group, a system, a school, a religion or not. It is the meaning we assign to the words, that become thoughts that become beliefs.
Buddhism denies the existence of God, as most people understand God. If we understand God as who we are, within and without. If we see ourselves as a hologram, big mind, the open and vast connection to the All. This being the source where all knowledge, understanding and love is, and of which we are a part, then Buddhism does not deny God. Once we make God a separate entity imbued with form, and us as also inbued with form, then God, according to Buddhism does not exist. If we assign God super powers and we see ourselves as pawns in the sea of misery seeking salvation outside of ourselves, then  God, according to Buddhism, does not exist. It is the attachment to form and the reliance on ego-based beliefs that makes the difference.  When we take on the practice of becoming aware of the pain-body– ego-based attachments, we become free. We stop being identified with it and become God!  Well, Buddhism after all…may yet be a religion.

Have an awesome weekend!

You say Tomatoe, I say Tomato- Semantics

Wikipedia’s definition:  

Semantics^[1] is the study of meaning, usually in language. The word “semantics” itself denotes a range of ideas, from the popular to the highly technical. It is often used in ordinary language to denote a problem of understanding that comes down to word selection or connotation.

It came up last night in meditation class- the use of good  and bad, the use of “negative” self talk… does it really make a difference? For all the New Age/ Law of Attraction die-hards, it does!

Words are an extension of what is happening on the inside. So, maybe it is not about what we say, but more about what we think and feel- but you know that! I have worked for YEARS (feels like dog years some days) on my internal thought/ feeling stuff, and in the past five years have really paid attention and altered the way I talk. Why? Well, I had a really, really good coach, David Koons, who kicked my butt every time I was not using “supportive” language.

Ok, so I bought into the whole positive self-talk (and also how I talked to others about life and myself). Now, I take a compliment, I don’t make my prettiness small, or my fabulous clothes (I  never shop, but if someone notices that I manage to pull old clothes into looking fab, I take the compliment, period.)

Why did I buy into it? Honestly, who wants to hear negative talk? I avoid negative people like the plague- I don’t want to hear it from anyone, so I don’t subject the world to have to hear it from me. And five years later, I like the results (not perfect, but considering I am half Indian and half Venezuelan it’s pretty good… we Indian/Venezuelans love a good drama story). And by all this I don’t mean that it is no ok to feel raw, intense emotions, not at all, what I am talking about is a perpetual state of yuckiness.

But let’s get serious for a minute, is there any truth to this? Does it really matter what, how, and why I say this word or that word? Does it? Really? Prove it!

I can’t prove it. There are tons of people who spend their entire lives studying Quantum Physics and can tell you the science behind all this, but I will say that I started getting it when 3 years ago, I did the Ganesha Mantra. In Hindu tradition, the Elephant head god who is the remover of obstacles.

 

Om gam ganapataye namaha!

 

Well, this mantra rocked my world. I did it for 27 days and just noticed what happened to my life. Not pretty. Who knew, to remove obstacles, things go to crap to deconstruct you into being able to materialize the essence of what you seek. The trick is that we tend to give form to what we want, rather than focus on the essence of what this thing will bring. Law of Attraction 101, but I figured I’d share!

So, what does Ganesha have to do with semantics? It turns out that the Hindus believe in the power of these sacred syllables. So much so, that most gurus do not give mantras to their disciples until they have the right pronunciations of the Sanskrit language. (Specific mantras are given to disciples as their way to work through this life’s karma and into what they are intended to be in this life) So sounds like the Hindus take it very seriously.

Part of me laughs when I use ancient traditions as examples which we should follow. See, I know they have problems too. They have poverty, they have no water, so why are we taking advice from them? Well, did you know that most Hindus take their troubles to the multiple temples in their neighborhood? Yep, they don’t go see therapist, they go straight to the god of choice. If it’s money problems, they go to Ganesha and then Lakshmi (oh, yeah, and they are so equal opportunity- Women Goddesses so revered), if they want to harness the super natural powers, good ol’ Hanuman is worshiped.

Yes, they have problems, but they also have a collective desire to connect with the Divine. And so, I pay attention to how they explore their spirituality. The mantras or ancient words are a big deal- these words are your soul’s liberation.

So, I have to wonder if one Sanskrit syllable pronounced incorrectly can have a total different effect on my life, is the way I speak important?

I’m going with David’s advice on this. Yes. My words are the outside expression of the inside, but if I say different words, can I change the inside? Is it like the what came first, the chicken or the egg type thing?

Try it for a month… accept compliments, change  I can’t to I will, look for possibilities where wishful thinking resides… try and see.

En Vogue: Free your mind and the rest will follow

Remember that song? That 80’s song about prejudice. Well, it’s been on my mind. Only not because of race but because of the thoughts that I shy away from. Isn’t that what prejudice is- we don’t understand, so we avoid or attack? Well, I may have bought into a slew of thoughts that are not really jiving with my true nature. And why is it that we have to constantly be reminded of our amazing existence and the incredible possibilities in the Universe?

My friend, Karen Curry, wrote a book about this very topic, Inside The Body of God- she talks about how we are a cell within the body of the Almighty (if you believe in that sort of thing). I think you can insert whatever word you want for God, but the point is that if we are a mirror representation of the Divine, we have any and all possibilities to be God right here, right now. With all due respect to those who think this is my super ego going wild, I do mean this in the most humble way. If I am a holographic representation of the Divine (Karen’s words), then in fact, I am capable of anything that is in my divine path.

It is all about us claiming this, reclaiming this really. It is our divine birth right to exercise this truth, and somehow we totally forget.

We talked again about goal setting in meditation class, and I found myself rather confused as to what I believe anymore. I kinda like my theme of the year approach, and then allow for things to organically appear in my life, but I also find myself not willing to surrender quite this passionately when it comes to my business. What if my business is also a holographic representation of the divine, because it is a creation by my husband and I. What if my corporate-like attempts to set goals, track them, measure them, and implement strategies,  is the same road I used to travel where I allowed a company to dictate how many hours I worked or how many weeks I could vacation.

What if the control that I have over my company is really another illusion and story I tell myself of how a business should operate? What if in fact, my business can be as flowing and happy as I am (OK, I’m not that happy, but I should be- I have a very free life because one day I woke up and said I had enough- I had enough of being miserable.) And today I ride the unpredictable waves of self employment, and yet passion surges through my veins every minute- cool ride, huh?  I love what I do, I love what I am creating, but what if my business wants the kind of freedom I have. Hmm. Business having an energy of its own, business having a mission of its own, having a life form of its own.

So, I am wondering, is having a theme for 2010 for my business enough? Processing….

So, as Lidia suggested, I will go now and doodle to… free my mind.

Blessings,

Asha (the pondering woman)

driving 10,000 miles and coming back new

I’m in the middle of editing a book my husband and I are working on,  based on our roadtrip to Central America . Editing… why art thou so painful? Well, it turns out the pain was only in my head (maybe why I’ve had a migraine since coming back from the trip- yes, a year and  half ago!)

Maybe I just now feel ready to tell the story. Don’t get me wrong, I love to talk about our crazy family trip and how it changed us, but there is something very bold and transparent when we PUT the work out for the public to see, read, analyze, love, hate, take it, leave it. When people engage and ask more, it’s easy to pour out the insights, the process, and who we are today because of this two month journey. And when I can see in their faces that they are done, then that’s my cue to change the subject. Easy in person because it feels in my control, but scary in print because I write it and send it off to their respectives homes. My baby is out of my hands!

And just like some babies, some families love them, nurture them, and allow them to be their teachers, while others neglect, abuse, criticise, and in the print case, burn or chuck the thing. So, who’s worried about all this?? From meditation class last night, all would agree it is my ego. My little (big, actually, she does not like to be called little- she’s very particular, and we like to befriend her around here, or she throws some severe temper tantrums) … anyway, my friend, Ego.

I watched No Impact Man (check it here to view the 90 minute film, http://www.novamov.com/video/ywq3yxxh4nrz7) last night after meditation class. After all that talk about ego, I could just see how this guy was, yes, doing something very meaningful, but oh, boy was his ego having a field day. And then, as I would recall my dialogue with Glen (my husband) in our car headed to Central America, my feelings of my personal impact on this world began to surface.

This man transformed his life for one year to basically have ZERO impact in the environment, and he went from TV show to TV show promoting this project, and as it continued, it was as if his ego vanished. As if it took doing the work, and living the work to bring the ego to silence. Ego to silence- man, that’s powerful.

We can all do more and we know it, and sometimes it takes someone this brave to remind us of what is possible. No need to feel threatened, baby steps are ok. We still have our two SUVs (because we believe in keeping the cars as long as they can move. Don’t get me wrong new car smell is the best (especially a Prius! but I opt to use, re-use, resuscitate, reincarnate, and well, we are very friendly with our mechanic. Shout out to Joe! ). Either way we are taking baby steps… but is that enough?

Is it enough to take baby steps or is it time for a revolutionary change to my lifestyle. Maybe, maybe it is a process that has to brew and stew like the release of my book. percolating within me until the inside is ready for the outside.

As many teachers say, the outside reality is only possible because it exists within us. Thanks for reminding us of this last night Lidia.

Amazing that I have to travel to far away lands (ok, Central America is not FAR AWAY lands, but India was!) to see how much I care about my home and how I affect it.

May you percolate the idea of No-Impact (or at least a little lower than usual).

Blessings,

Asha

p.s. our next Sustainability inspirations: http://www.auroville.org/ and of course, Glen has this idea that we are moving to Harvard, MA and building a few yurts- oh, boy, camping for two years. (That’s right, I told him, I’ll do it for two years and then we are building a normal house). I hope our clients don’t run away from us when they see how crazy we really are!

If you couldn’t afford an original artwork, would you buy less expensive items with the artwork reproduced on it?

London based PR and marketing consultant Jane Clifford posed that question on one of my Linkedin groups a while back. She asked whether you would buy a mug or a laptop covered with your favorite work displayed on it? Or is it all or nothing for you?

The answers were all over the map. One fellow said “ I would only as a kitschy-jokey thing to do; but then only if a gun was held to my head”. Another said that “Cafepress isn’t ‘fine art’. There were several entries discussing the merits of prints as being lesser. One person said that “I would not buy a less expensive product if I could not afford the original, nor do I buy prints. I prefer original pieces. I can usually find an affordable original from a local artist. I have made monthly payments to buy an original, and have let my clients do the same.” One entry caught my eye. “That would depend on the artwork. Who doesn’t have a poster or fridge magnet of, say, the Mona Lisa? I have fridge magnets of works by Botticelli to works in the Guggenheim collection.” I said to myself, this person got it!

I believe that this is important topic for artists and for “the rest of us”. So I offered my “five cents” which I will now share with you:

1. I don’t believe that what you create is diminished by mass marketing. See Andy Warhol, nee Warhola. He certainly taught us a lesson with his “15 minutes of fame” and sold reproductions galore, albeit supervised by “his studio”. He also made a lot of money.

2. If you think that an image you created is desecrated by being on a mug, then you are not giving yourselves enough credit for the power of your creative output.

3. If you think that the only thing worth owning is an original, then the great masses of people who normally don’t buy art, end up buying the paint-by-numbers crap and it is our fault. It diminishes artists and consumers and continues to label us elitists.

4. The only difference between a print of an original, albeit signed and a mug is the price. Both images are far removed energetically from the artist, unless the artist spends quality time with the print and imbues it with his/her energy. Even then, it would still not be the same as at the time of conception.

5. You are telling me that you don’t buy audio books unless read by the author? And then, oh, my, it is not what was on his computer screen! Should we buy mass printed books that have not been properly blessed by the author? You know, they don’t handwrite books anymore. Do you not see movies that have been adapted to the screen? You should have heard my 13 year old grandson after the last Harry Potter movie: “She missed the most poignant issues, missed the point. Changed the book. I am done with these movies!” (j.k. Rollings was involved in the screen writing). I know…books are not art…they are just copies of the original…

Inspired only 1% of the time?

During our meditation class I took fierce notes writing down the profound quotes my fellow participants shared or Lidia’s wise words. Ok, I doodled half the time (but Lidia told me this helps quiet my mind. Note to self: doodle more to quiet this very chatty mind of mine).

Ok, onto serious things, or life things. We had a lively discussion about the effects of goals. Some people proudly talked about 2009 and how they accomplished all their goals, while most of us sat in silence. Maybe we didn’t feel as adequate as the others who shared their accomplishments. So, I got to thinking about my journey with goals.

As a recovering Type A business-corporatee type, my goal setting has sure taken a shift. I have pretty long term hefty intentions (the new word for goals these days!) for my business. I mean, I even write them with a three year vision in mind (borrowed this from Fabienne Fredrickson-) I want to think big, dream large, climb Everest, you get the picture. Did I accomplish it?  Well, we did not hit the $1 million mark as I had hoped, but we doubled business, not bad, you say? Ok, I guess part of me can live with that too.

And then there is the personal part of what I accomplished in 2009. I moved away from goal setting or resolutions, whatever your name is for what one anticipates and expects of themselves for the coming year filled with hope, promises and change (internal change for most of us).

Here’s my new strategy: I have a theme for the year. I borrowed this from Elizabeth Barbour.

Last year was about my health. I wanted to feel, look, and (act) good. I wanted to do the internal work to see my body differently and yes, to lose weight (somehow it doesn’t matter if I am a size 2 or 8, I always obsessed about being thinner), eat better, and exercise regularly so that I could be healthy, and yes, live longer (thin & healthy mind you).

That was my theme for 2009. Did I accomplish it? Uhhhhhh. Hmmmm. Ok, thanks for letting me play my analyst affair… if I could quantify, I would say that I reached 2/3 of it. I got the feeling and looking good part down, now I just want to incorporate the movement (my less charged word replacing exercise) into my life. And let’s just say that on a good day I feel 2/3 accomplished. Oh, wait, that sounds a bit self deprecating. 2/3 accomplished? I mean, on a good day, I feel and perceive myself as looking good. Some days I eat crap and well, the whole goal goes to, well, you know where.

That was me in 2009, this is a new me! 2010 here I come. Ok, not so much, it’s still me. So, as I lunge towards that (gluten-free, mind you) chocolate chip muffin, I want to know the difference between DESIRE and CRAVINGS.  Ahh, yes, sensei, how does one know the difference?

I can almost hear Lidia say “Practice, grasshopper”. Right, practice. Who’s got time for that? And then she would say, “Ahhh, but you have choice- you have chosen the state of BUSY”

Now, I find myself in the rabbit hole of western existence. Busy. How proud we are of our busyness (or business?) Ok, I’ll let you sit with that one all on your own.

But, I was shown the light last night- thank goodness, rabbit holes can be oh, so scary and consuming.

My own, very well-thought out hypothesis (all of 2 seconds) is that when I am connected to the ALL (uh, insert your own word), I am in a constant state of inspiration and creation, and for the in between times, maybe goal (or intention) setting helps to give me structure and a place to dwell.

Connected place: when I turned to my husband and said, “I want to go to India”, and he turned the world upside down to make it happen. Or when I said, “I want to go to Hawaii” and I won some random trip to Hawaii 6 months later. Yeah, that feels like a connected place.

Goal place: my marketing plan, getting the kids out by 8:10am in the morning (that is more of a selfish goal than it looks), making a plan to clean my house (or kitchen at least).

Holy cow. You mean, the inspired stuff is when I am connected? And the rest of life is the in-betweens? Like that Dr. Seuss book, “Oh, the Places You’ll Go” where the character has the “waiting place”. That place stinks! Is that where I am 99% of the time????

Am I really just living 1% connected?

Ok, I’m sure I’m exaggerating because I have chosen a life where I have more say and flow with my days. Unless I have an appointment, I flow with my days. I love that. But maybe the inspired moment of whispering my dream to my computer (yes, I spend a lot of time alone) of visiting Hawaii is a collection of inspired moments coming into one sweet desire to visit Hawaii- To see natural beauty, meet some wonderful people and connect to a land of spiritual magic.

Maybe this is the practice Lidia was talking about?

May you all go deeper into what you truly want for this 2010!

Gratitude for Synchronicity

Last night’s class was all about finding out what goals we achieved or not last year and to become more in touch with how and why we created these goals in the first place. We also contemplated those that we did not achieved and looked at what stood in our way. Clearly most of us found that it was us who stood in the way of accomplishing a desired mark. In addition, we discovered that we make resolutions out of habit and in order to create change from a bad state to a better state. Because we start from a place of lack and base our wish to fulfill these goals on events/situations/things and behaviors with which we have no connection, we tend to abandon our desire to fulfill them somewhere between the first 60 to 90 days. When we dug even deeper, we discovered additonal poignant  issues.

1. Making resolutions/goals is a societal habit. “In order to succeed you must have goals”. It is a meme, as Richard Brody-The Virus of the Mind, would say.

2. We see that fulfilling these goals will enable us to get to a better place in life and/or business. This implies that we are lacking something now.

3. The fulfillment of these resolutions reside outside of ourselves. This is an incorrect perception of reality as we cannot get what we don’t already have.

4. Inwardly, we don’t really believe we can achieve our resolutions and eventually we abandon them with a smirk. Once more we have proven to ourselves that we cannot change jobs, loose weight, make more money, find new love, etc.

5. This fear keeps us from committing to change because the self-discipline required for self-study is actually hard work and it involves a deeper fear of failure in the face of what we do not yet know.

6. Focusing solely on our needs and desires create distance from others and our environment. This self-cherishing objectifies our life and it is based on ego driven premises.

7. A very important ingredient in the equation is the cultivation of self-discipline. After we read all the good books and practiced for 90 days, we are on our own. In other words, we lack the necessary support while we are carrying out the new thoughts that energize our new behaviors to attract what we desire. 

8. Meditation, as the center piece of our lives is a training mechanism for alertness, discernment, focus and discipline. It  leads into identifying and transmuting negative habitual thinking and behavior. Meditation and self-discipline provide a solid base from where to craft goals that reside within and are fueled by a desire to create on a regular basis. These creations are born out of a state of joy and fueled by the enthusiasm to enter new an as yet unknown states of joy. Our creations have meaning because in the process of creating we discover our connection to Source, God, the All, the Sage-in-Our-Presence.

9. Alignment with Source/God allows for the creation of new habits borne out of practicing compassion toward ourselves and others, ethical thinking and ethical behavior, self-reliance  and the end of dualism.

A final significant discovery was that in tracing those landmarks that we were successful in achieving we uncovered the synchronicities that otherwise we would have missed. Ahhhh…True alignment with God! Interestingly, the same synchronicities were evident in the glaring signs directing us to move away from that resolution when we looked back on those goals we did not achieve! Michael Losier would say…RESET THE BUTTON!

I am ever so grateful for the synchronicities!

On Patience as a Form of Action…

“Sometimes I have a subject in mind, sometimes I don’t. In either case, my best ideas come from quieting my mind and letting the stone speak to me about all its characteristics and possibilities. It may take along time to do this, but that is fine. Patience is also a form of action.” Auguste Rodin.

I invite comments for I am speechless!

Happy New Year 2010 to All!!!

A TUT Message

“Most people will find the following very hard to believe, but, there is nothing, ever, worth being unhappy about.

Because no matter what happens, it will add to you, you’ll still live forever, and our love affair will remain tabloid fodder in realms far, far away.

Thank you,

Earth Rocks

The Universe”"

A good friend of mine sent me the original subscription link to Mike Dooley’s TUT daily quotes. www.tut.com a long time ago, and sometimes I read them and say, thank you, and other times–today being one of those times, I say yeah! Powerful thought, indeed, THANK YOU!

Upon waking and after my ahhhs, I reflected on my work and career. I wanted to revisit my work habits and the various kinds of work I am attracting and not attracting.  I had considered starting the day by doing some deep, deep office cleaning although I was not necessarily looking forward to dusting and vacuuming, and deciding what to discard and what to keep. I selected meditating on Living Up to Death.

Living Up to Death is a Buddhist meditation where you practice total letting go at all levels until emptiness shines through your Buddha core- the vajra body and you are timeless, deathless, open and  yet complete. Happiness arrives and settles in and there is nothing but joy throughout. Leaving the cushion I knew I had to clean and clear old stuff, including some hardy cobwebs settled in the corners. Then…I stumbled upon the quote as I turned my laptop on.

I did not want to leave the nirvanic state I was in, yet in wanting to stay there it put me back on attachment, craving…The opposite of death! Yet living in joy and happiness brings nirvanic peace. Is TUT reminding me that cleaning and dusting and choring are all part of it?

“The Universe” reminded me of why I was cleaning. Not for now, not for then, not for any reason but to bring about clarity to my present, cleanliness to my thoughts, sparkling wisdom to my mind, and time…time to honor the past, harness the power of the ego and prepare for the future without attachments to the outcome. Cleaning my glasses I can see better, clearer. Cleaning my office now, I can see better, clearer, what comes my way and decide what to keep, what to give away and what to share. Clarity IS happiness. Happiness is in every act I perform with joy and I embrace this happiness now and eternally.

In wanting clarity and deciding to clean I noticed the “note”. Maybe I’ll be reborn in a spotless world!

Have a happy day everyone by loving and enjoying everything you do!
