IT'S TIME TO START BELIEVING


 
Picture It have witnessed some sad things in my life but none so tough to understand as why we all attack each other for small differences. Why do we sabotage our families and communities cause we are a little uncomfortable, scared or annoyed?

Do we not all want the same thing?

All I want is a peaceful world, where we can pursue our dreams, be our true self and eat some good food. A place where we can dance , sing, laugh together and know that there are many shoulders to cry on. A place where we can sit close together and be different and appreciate those differences and not try and make everyone like us.

I have witnessed healers, shamans and medicine people try to distroy other healers, shamans and medicine people for minor differences. I have witnessed leaders attack other leaders because their causes are not exactly the same. I have seen people complain for the sake of complaining. I have seen so much energy being wasted on what does not matter.

What matters is that we can make this world a beautiful place. It is really easy. All we have to do in believe in each other, believe in our self and when we are triggered we stand up and say "THANK YOU FOR TRIGGERING ME, YOU ARE A GREAT TEACHER."

IT is like we are in a sinking ship and all we have to do is put a plug in the hole. We have the plug, but we are to busy pushing people over board to plug the hole.

The great teachers, gurus and shamans of this world... it is time to grow up and work together. Whatever your race, religion, training, culture, financial situation, fame, lineage, it is time to put all that shit down and face the fact that there is no one way to bring this world to peace. There are as many ways as grains of sand. Every way is to be honored and appreciated.

Here is a start.

If you find yourself angry, bothered or annoyed.... try going the route of appreciation. Say thank you... and mean it.

All those who you might of attacked, alianated, hurt in the past. Call them up, send them and email or a note saying simply Thank You. Or better yet, drop by their homes and offer an appology for not appreciating their teachings.

I dont care about making peace with the enemy. I make peace with my friends, family and community first. FOr the true enemy is our own egos telling us we are better, deserve better, are right.

10 THINGS I HAVE LEARNED ABOUT BEING A STEPFATHER

Picture
I recently became a stepfather. I love every second of it. I am learning so much from my 5 year old (going on 500 year old) teacher. Unfortunately I am not learning much from my community about being a stepfather. There are not a lot of resources for how to be a good stepfather.

It is a special position to be in. I am a father but not a father. Over the past year I have learned some very crucial lessons about being a stepfather that I wish to share.


1.     Love them as your own. Give them the time, patients, understanding and love that you would give your own child. There is no way around this. Love them fully, completely, they deserve it.

2.     You are not their father. You are a father figure. Even if their biological father is not around, you are not their father. They can call you Dad, treat you like one, whatever they want is their prerogative. Let go of the feeling that you are their father. Treating them like your own child while not asking them to treat you like a father is the practice required.

3.     Provide safety. Above all else make sure they have a safe home, a safe place to go. More then likely that child has gone through a great change in their life. Healing requires rest, peace and safety.

4.     NEVER speak poorly of their father. No matter how troubled they might be. Always speak kindly of their father. Their father is part of them, insulting/judging their father is the same as insulting them.

5.     Love their mother. Love her freely and honestly. Learn to love their mother and show your love openly. You are teaching that little one how to love and be loved by another.

6.     Find special treats and trips and do them. It is important to build a friendship/trust with this person. Find common interests and make a point of doing them together.

7.     Provide information, feedback and ideas to the parents but you are not the decision maker. You are responsible for the safety of that child. You are responsible for the love of that child. You are responsible not for every decision of that child. Honor the mother and father by honoring their choices.

8.     Step up. Be there. Read about child rearing. Ask other parents about tips. Learn to live on less sleep. The focus is not on you, it is on the family.

9.     Laugh, sing, dance, play, dress in drag, watch cartoons, hide, seek, jump, throw, whatever you can do, be a child with them.

10. Most importantly, take care of yourself. That little child will learn a great deal if you heal your wounds, open your heart and forgive. There is always something that you can work on in yourself. Show them the honest struggle and share the successes.

I would love to hear more tips from other Stepfathers. We have much to teach each other.

I AM FUCKING PISSED!!!

Get out of my fucking way, unless you seek the wrath of truth.



I am pissed these days.

Seriously pissed!!!!!!!!!!!

I have fucking had it with opportunistic self righteousness. I have had it with greed infested cultural norms. I am done with bullshit controlling lies disguised as media. I am exhausted of pretending like I care about government and politics.

Where are the people who stand tall and proud and refuse to take this giant mound of steaming crap we call our culture up our ignorant asses?

Where are the few that support their dreams by lifting up other peoples dream?

Are you standing for anything?

I am fucking pissed. To much me first, my situation is worse then yours, my life is tougher bull shit.

It is time to put down the fucking egos and be honest!

We are all hurting!!!!!

We are all scared!!!!

We are all waiting for help from others!!!!!

So why dont we actually learn to help each other?

With all our energy we let go of the need to protest, to fight the "system", to complain about the way things are and

WORK TOGETHER

All of our energy in helping out those who you believe in. Helping out those who inspire you. Helping out those who need a bit of help. Helping out those who as for help. Helping out ourselves and asking for help and being OK if someone says no, just keep asking till you get the help you need.

We can build a brilliant future and soon. It is not hard.

We just need to focus together and trust the inner callings of each and every one of us.

It is time to rise up and say no more distractions. It is time to pursue my dream and time to connect, support and surround myself with other people who are following their dreams.

Stand up. Start today. Get it fucking moving.....
