The refrigerator cycles on and off
Outside a child screams in play
I clean a spot off the floor and dust a bit and things get done
I read and walk and eat and breathe and see and listen

I am totally satisfied with all of it
It-ness – Is-ness

I seek nothing
Not purpose
Not meaning
No thing
Nothing

My heart is full
I love – just love
I love no thing
No person
No ideal
Nothing that has a name
I just love

I am

Already everyone is talking about what STUFF they are getting for friends and family for Christmas. Yadayadayada stuffstuffstuff and more stuff. I say most who find themselves on this page probably have enough STUFF! More than likely way too much STUFF. Maybe we can’t pay the rent this month but STUFF we’ve got already. STUFFed houses, STUFFed garages, STUFFed storage lockers, and all to often STUFFed bellies — so much STUFF! If you don’t have too much STUFF you probably don’t care much for STUFF and have roughly the same reaction I do to people spending so much time and energy dreaming up STUFF to give at Christmas.

HEY! Please join me in STOPPING the STUFF! Give a Heifer or a Water Buffalo or even just a humble bee or chick. You can go to Heifer International and give the gift of life. What kid wouldn’t want a Water Buffalo? Mom won’t let it live in the yard but a nice African family is taking good care of it and it is taking good care of them. Wow! Awesome! And it works for Show and Tell!

Heifer’s Mission to End Hunger
Heifer envisions…
A world of communities living together in peace and equitably sharing the resources of a healthy planet.

Heifer’s mission is…
To work with communities to end hunger and poverty and to care for the earth.

Heifer’s strategy is…
To “pass on the gift.” As people share their animals’ offspring with others – along with their knowledge, resources, and skills – an expanding network of hope, dignity, and self-reliance is created that reaches around the globe.

Heifer’s History
This simple idea of giving families a source of food rather than short-term relief caught on and has continued for over 60 years. Today, millions of families in 128 countries have been given the gifts of self-reliance and hope.

Heifer’s Success Stories From Around The World

It has become popular in the bloggosphere to ask for a cup of coffee or a beer rather than asking for donations. I could certainly use a few bucks but they just come and go anyway and life goes on. Instead, starting this Christmas season, I would like to make it more popular to ask for a Heifer. You can get started by going to Heifer International and Creating a Gift Registry right now.

And I know you have been concerned about what you are going to give me for Christmas. Here is where you can shop for my gift. Just a little chick or two would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Sunny disappeared a couple of days ago. I don’t know for sure if he is alive or dead. I have put out posters and sent out email alerts and talked to neighbors and searched sheds and contacted an Animal Communication student of mine, who has gone on to specialize in lost animal cases, for a second opinion. I have done all I am able to DO. In the past these circumstances have been accompanied by a great deal of pain in the “not knowingness” of the situation.

As I sit here now though, not knowing, I am filled with awe, wonder and joy at the BIG spirit of that little cat. That has always been the amazing thing about Sunny – that vast spirit that constantly reminds me of the greater universal quality of our embodied lives.

I was going to write a bit here about the 10 years we have spent together but once I’d written the first sentence it became clear that it is more a book length story than a blog post. One day I may write that whole story – it would probably be the best aspect, and the most telling part of my life to hand down. As it is I am just going to be content now to pass on how grateful I am to that little cat for the lessons learned.

Thank you Sunny, where ever you are. You have liberated me. Where ever you are you are right here sitting in my soul – and it feels like God.

The gunman is a young man, 23 years old, who has never done more than burglaries in the past. His family says he has a drug problem but they could never have imagined this sort of thing from him.

I look at this photo and see a young man who is lost. It makes me want to know how to best deal with my own feelings of wanting the best outcome for everyone concerned. I remembered Ho’oponopono: I Love You, I’m Sorry, Please Forgive Me, Thank You; and I found this wonderful video from Joe Vitale.

I like it a lot because it get’s the point across without the use of heavenly music and photos of clouds and flowers and mountain streams and all the rest of that inspirational mood stuff that I’ve about had my fill of. Be sure to listen long enough to get to the crux of the matter. “…that total responsibility for your life means that everything in your life – simply because it is in your life – is your responsibility. In a literal sense the entire world is your creation.”

I am glad I was reminded of this. I hope and pray for the best outcome for all.

Just imagine cleansing energy from the universe swirling over your head creating a white tornado from all the goodness of source and then funnel it down into your body through your crown chakra. It keeps swirling throughout your body cleaning out any gunk that has accumulated since the last time, just cleansing cleansing cleansing as it goes, grabbing gunk from each cell and just spinning everything clean. Finally it exits into the earth to be transmuted.

I do it every morning as I awaken. Night dirt you know. You can do it whenever you feel the need during the day. It only takes a few seconds for a quickie or you can linger over it awhile in quiet times.

A variation of this that is a super powerful technique is to see each cell of your body as a small body with all the chakras and everything. Each cell IS capable of reproducing you, so to me this is not a stretch. You can think of each cell, it’s own body getting the white tornado through it’s crown chakara and utilizing it the same way as your whole body does.

Once you get this concept going easily, you can think of each breath you take as having this effect, in breath — in comes the tornado to each cell — out breath — out goes the gunk to be transmuted in all that is. This can go on with every breath you take in awareness all day long. Your cells will tingle and love you for this kind attention and your body will become the perfect antenna it was meant to be, picking up vibes accurately, and connecting soul to physicality perfectly, making your journey in 3D comfortable and secure.

It helps — can be fun — with the cell tornados if you make your body very large. As large as the universe if you like with the cells being stars. )) ENJOY!

These guys are a couple of comedians with Zac as the funny man and Khan as the straight man. I hope all the humans around take the time to just hang around to enjoy their show. Zac, when choosing a persona for this lifetime was like, “Not a cat or a dog or a human – been there done that – cows are boring and horses have to carry people around – I ask you! Why on earth would any soul wish to do that!!! No accounting for some tastes. Show me other options on the domestic list. OH YES! Now there is an interesting creature! Funny thing. Makes me laugh. That’s what I’ll be and help everyone laugh!” That’s Zac. He knows this is a lark and is helping others know the same. He’s all, this too shall pass – have fun!

Khan doesn’t quite get the joke but he is willing to learn. He hangs on Zac’s every move and offers the straight man role beautifully because he is that. Doesn’t quite get it so is a perfect foil for the enlightened comedian.

If anyone in the neighborhood needs a pick me up or the answer to the universal “WHY” they should go spend time with these two. Zac the guru and Khan the fool – they are the perfect metaphor of our earthly existence.

It is such a joy and privilege to work with animals and nature as a sort of midwife to a new consciousness. This is bigger than Dr. Doolittle. This is the journey of a lifetime.

So what is animal communication? Talk telepathically to our furry friends and find out what kind of food they prefer and where they want to sleep and why they are peeing on the carpet? Well as an animal communicator I do a bit of that. Mostly what I do though is act as a translator between nature and humanity. Phew. What does that mean!

At this point in our journey on planet earth we have some forks in the road that are important to our continuation here. We either awaken to our role as a creator species or we just keep driving down that ever shortening road to oblivion. Look around. Which way do you see us going?

Nature has always been here in support of our lives as a creator species. While you may think Mother Nature is fed up with our performance in that realm, and with good reason, that is not quite the case. Nature continues to support our lives in every way possible even though we make that harder all the time. Now all of nature is coming together to tell us, as loudly and clearly as possible, that we need to become a conscious species or perish. We can see it all around us but the powers that be don’t see a profit in paying attention. So the question is, what to do.

Our animal companions are perhaps the ones who can make the biggest difference in our perspective. They live with us. Even with those of us who are making big profits despoiling the planet. They love us unconditionally. That prompts us to love them unconditionally. How many other relationships do we have where that is the case? So our animals already offer us that. They also give us the possibility of experiencing unconditional love beyond our relationships with them. Simply by making it a reality in this one relationship they are showing us that while it may appear to be unlikely, it may still be possible to achieve mutual unconditional love elsewhere. How big is that gift? Well I’d rather get that than some gaudy diamond bracelet.

So already our companion animals are giving us so much without saying a word! Do we appreciate it? Sometimes. Enough? Well, has your love ever gone unappreciated? Love is never appreciated enough. But that is what our animals are out to change! If they thought of it as we would, it would be as if nature had deployed specially trained spies to infiltrate the very substance of the lives of the enemy.

They don’t think of it that way (they love us, all of nature loves us) but that is the gist of what is happening. Nature has planted a possible solution to human destruction right in the beds (quite literally in many cases) of the destroyers. These troops are deployed by REAL intelligence.

So back to animal communication. Let’s say someone calls me and says, “my cat has this problem and that problem and it is really getting to be a problem!” Well, good for the cat! In most cases you don’t need to even call me if you are able to take a look at your cat as if she were a mirror to your own problems or blind spots then interpret the signs. But you most likely don’t or are unable to see it that way YET. So you call me. I talk to the cat and the cat tells me her problems and I talk to you and tell you the cats problems and you say, “Oh my God! I do that!” or “that’s how I feel!” or something to that effect. Now do you see what you’ve got? Have you ever noticed how wonderfully inspiring a problem can be once you see where it is pointing you? That’s what your cat can show you! So what am I good for? I polish the mirror. It’s a little hard to see yourself in this mirror right now (getting easier with time and happening faster all the time) so I give it the spit and polish it needs for you to see the gift your animal is giving through it’s unacceptable behavior.

So now you are really convinced you don’t want to call me! Who the hell needs that. Well we all do. To see the story of the gift my Alfie gave me through this process go to Best Friend Best Teacher. We all need to become conscious of what we are creating in our lives and our companion animals we love so dearly are showing us how our own actions effect our own world, our own reality and how it effects all that is.

Nature’s conspiracy. Effective too. People are listening more all the time whether they call an animal communicator or not. People are “getting it” from their pets and more and more from the other creatures in their lives and in our world. Nature is conspiring to help us save ourselves and I am so grateful and feel very privileged to be a part of that conspiracy!

Now for my disclaimer. Sometimes the cat is just a brat.
