Life really gives you everything you want. Whatever you want you think about and therefor you get it.

So the trick is to want things that are empowering. Every thought you send out comes right back to you.

So send out good thoughts. In fact why not have them be the best thoughts ever. Send out positive affirmations of the best type possible.

For example. My living situation keeps getting better, and will continue to get better, always. The best ever, always. Always constantly better. Thats the energy that I send out.

We are always transmitting something to the universe, if we are conscious of it or not, we are always sending out energy vibrations to the outside. Whatever resonates with these energy vibrations comes back to us.

So why not vibrate at the highest level possible. Spend your time in the best possible locations, doing the best possible things, eating the best possible food, always better. Thats the energy I send out, and thats what I get. The best ever.

Be the best ever, have the best ever, know the best ever.

What I know to be the best, just gets better. Everyday I experience something, and then the next day I experience better, and better and better. What a wonderful spiral to be in, the best ever spiral.

It only gets better.

Thats a good motto to keep around, to send out, to be in; “It only gets better.”

Life is such an amazing thing. We have everything we want, right now, you, me, everyone has everything they want. Just look deeply and you will see. Even if you want things you still have what you want now. You always have what you want, now, in this present moment.

In peace,

You have everything you want.

I have been paying a lot of attention lately to how things manifest. I have been paying a lot of attention to my power of manifestation. By observing my intentions and thoughts I have come to understand how important it is that we watch our thoughts, that we watch our intentions, because it all eventually becomes reality.

The remaining of this post will clarify how two people can have seemingly contradictory intentions. For example, say I intend for Y to “win the election” and you intend X to win the election; the question is whos intention actually becomes a reality? My answer: Both.

How can two contradictory goals actually manifest?
In the past I played around with the idea that whoever is “stronger” i.e. more connected to the divine will get his or her goal manifested. But that doesn’t really seem to be the right answer. A better answer to this question is that we are all one and that really both our wishes are one wish, that is, they are both inherently coming from the same place. Its just our mind that is creating the perceived difference between wishes, the perceived contradiction. So if I want Y to win the election and you want X to win, who actually wins is the sum of our collective wish.

What is the sum of our collective wish?
Very generally it is society, it is reality, it is everything. This, right now, this moment, is all -our- wish, all of it. In our above example the word “win” doesn’t exist in reality. Sometimes we get so fixated on things that don’t really exist, like winning an election. Like what does that really mean anyways? One could write a couple books on just what it means to win an election, what it really implies and the implications of it on the real world, but its not something we think about when we have the intention for someone “win” the election. It is probably so vague and different for each person, that its fairly easy to see that when intend for someone to win an election how we might actually be intending for the same exact thing!

The trouble is in our definitions, our lack of clarity with each other. We get so caught up in our unclear definitions and ambiguities that we forget that we all actually want the same things, we all actually have the same goals and the same wishes. My wish is really, really, really, really, the same as yours, we probably just have different ways of saying it. We might have forgotten how easy it is for ambiguities to make it seem like we have different intentions when it is really just the same goal.

Please don’t feel like you should figure out what our shared intentions are, this is a pursuit of the mind and one that will never be able to be written down or communicated. Once the mind gets at it and communicates it we are back to all those ambiguities and implications. There is no precise language to communicate the moment. The beautiful thing about all this is that we don’t need a language to understand the sum total of our intentions, all we have to do is be present. Experience now; look around, feel, see, touch, taste, be aware now, and you are experiencing the collective intent, its soooo obvious, its the most obvious thing.

In Sum:
We only think we have contradicting intentions, but we really intend the same thing. Destroy ambiguity and get as clear as possible with your intentions and notice how we all have the same intentions.

I am touching on the reality that we are all one, that the illusion of separateness is a disease of the mind. And that You, Me, everyone, is responsible 100% for their reality. If I change intention the world changes intention. If you change intention I change intention as does the world.

No contradictions exist in the present moment, therefor no contradicting intentions exist, because all that exists was at sometime an intention (your intention at that). The clearer you get with your own intentions the more you understand, see, experience, this truth that we all have the same intentions. We all want the same thing, deep down, beyond ambiguity we all want the same thing, and that thing is this moment.

I am starting a Raw Foodist Eco Village in Hawaii. This post is details my intentions for the project.

The Community

• Raw organic food will be the staple of the community.

• The Eco Village will have a strong focus on spirituality with focus on meditation, minimalism, communication, and personal growth.
• There will be a space set aside for meditation.
• Community will be strongly emphasized, as most space/things will be communal.
• The community will own land on the Big Island with abundant fruit trees which is close to town.
• In town there will be a juice bar/raw food cafe connected to the organic farm/eco village. This will help sustain the eco village.
• Connected to the juice bar there will be a community building for yoga, dancing, traditional arts, massage, music, or anything the community wants. The community space will be cooperatively managed by the larger surrounding community.
• Decisions that effect the community will be made democratically in conscious

In sum:

A raw food community that lives on an eco-village organic farm which provides resources for a juice bar/raw food cafe community space on the big Island of Hawaii.

If you would like to be a part of this let me know. I’ll be on the Big Island mid April to start gathering resources.

EDIT: I have started an IdeaBlob about this project.

I am moving to Hawaii, my plane leaves March 12th for Kauai, I plan on staying indefinitely.

Why?

• Air quality

The air quality in Hawaii is the top 5 best in the USA, and the world.

• Abundance of fruit

There is an abundance of tropical fruit in Hawaii, which matches my diet as a 811rv.

• Tropical Weather

The average temperature on Kauai is 73F in winter and 80F in the summer.

I have always pictured myself living in the tropics. Humans are always trying to make their living environments match the tropical environment. We dress ourself in very warm clothes when it is cold and turn on the heater, we are always trying to match the temperature around us to the tropical regions of the world. It seems so natural to live in tropical weather where there is no worry about being cold and where fruit (our most natural food) is so abundant.

I might also be moving just for the sake of moving, for the experience of such an undertaking. I graduated college a year ahead of schedule about 9 months ago and have been living in Santa Cruz for a long enough time that I feel like its time to leave. I need to experience what its like to totally be on my own. Maybe moving to Hawaii is like a kind of like a right of passage for me; a quest that is not about the destination but is all about the journey, its a journey inside myself.

My goals for Hawaii

• hiking the Na Pali Coast
• Backpacking the Waimea Cannon
• Living in Kapaa
• Visiting all the hidden beaches and jungle
• Learning to play the Ukulele better
• Being a 811 raw vegan and eating lots of exotic fruit
• Living on an organic farm
• Doing web development for trade
• Working on my affiliate websites
• Living and working with other driven entrepreneurs
• swimming, snorkeling and scuba diving
• learning to row
• sailing
• living in community
• starting a juice bar/eco farm/co-op
• meditating
• getting up with the sunrise
• sleeping on the beach a lot
• living on or very very close to the beach
• visiting every island
• doing yoga everyday, especially acroyoga
• making tantric love
• other things… I don’t know yet

So yea! Come visit me. I plan on keeping this blog updated with what I am currently up to on the islands. You can also check me out on Facebook and twitter for more updates.

Sometimes I think the central question for humanity is “What should I do with my time here on this planet?” After the basics have been taken care of the question always haunts us; what should I do now? There might be thousands of answers to this question given by various religions, philosophies, and cultures. But still the question always remains; what am I going to do with my time?

History seems to record that humanity, generally, has been predisposed to answer this question with the wisdom of fear. I say “wisdom” of fear, because I do not want to belittle such an important evolutionary instinct. Yet, fear is stressful and limiting. That which is not fear, that is, love, can also guide us, it is yet another evolutionary instinct that we as a species are beginning to follow more and more.

The joy of love is guiding more and more people these days. We no longer require fear to survive, as a race we have the all the capabilities to live in love with all living things on earth.

Together more choose to answer the question “What should I do with my time?” With love, over fear. I see this as a evolutionary progression to a more harmonious, peaceful, joyful life on this planet.

Evolution starts and ends within. Once one begins to love him or herself the more love is found all around this person. Love begins within, as does fear, and outwards these guiding emotions ripple the external world. When one is beaming with love for him or herself it attracts others who are the same, when one is fearful of the amazing power inside it attracts other people who are the same. As more people find the joy of love inside, the more the world becomes joyful.

Soon history will predominantly report of people following their joy, of people who are guided by love.

So “What to do?” … Love. Love yourself. Nothing to change, nothing to do. Love. Is.

Today I woke up to the bright sunshine and the crystal air meditated on the deck. Afterwards I grabbed at least 8 or so little Mandarin Oranges and relished in their sweetness. It feels good to eat mostly fruit, it feels really good. After meditation Shawn W. wanted to go on a mission, and in retrospect it took longer that it had to, had more steps than it needed, but I learned from it. I am learning to stay more and more present, because the present moment feels so good, it feels so nice to be, to just be now, without worry of the past or future, just present. This feeling is not really a feeling its a state of being and it reminds me of this quote:

I do not worry about the past and not fearful of the future because my life is supremely concentrated in the present and the right response comes to me instantaneously in accordance to the situation in which it occurs.

Sometimes I get so caught up thinking about the past or the future that I forget the present. The present moment is where its at. The now. Presentness, brings me peace.

Meditation tonight became quiet. Very quiet. Felt very expansive, like I wasn’t just in my body, but I was all that was going on around me. Everything around me was me I was it, I was that noise over there that whistle of the wind in the branches, that little bit of light, I was that.

Last night was the new moon so its a great time to make goals for the next couple weeks. In meditation a goal came to my mind: “To experience all, to be all of experience, the totality of experience.” To not only experience what “I” am experiencing but to experience what “all” is experiencing. Lots of suffering, lots of happiness, lots of things. But see it is the “I” that takes all of that raw experience and makes it something, gives it names and labels it, describes it, judges it. This “I” is what makes it impossible to experience all, because the very nature of all is not a part of any one, it is all, all of it at the same time, to experience this is to go beyond labels, it is to go beyond words and concepts, it is to truly rest in our most supremely natural state, that is of just being. The amazing thing about it is we don’t have to do anything to get into this state, we are already there, “We” come from that state, we are that state inherently, there is nothing else that needs to be done. Yet of course, that state then is “experienced” it is experienced by some–one– and then there is no longer all. there is this experience with this judgment and this feeling and this view point. Its just –one– viewpoint. And thats great its a viewpoint, as long as we are separate we each have our own viewpoint. Ultimately, right now we, you, me, All, ARE and at the same time we each have our own view point. Whichever we like is true. Yet, what is really powerful is dwelling in the IS, just dwelling there and letting things happen, letting whatever separateness that needs to happen, happen, because thats fine, thats what is happening right now. Dwelling in the present, in the isness, in the all, or whatever name, is really amazing, quite utterly profoundly amazing.

Dwell here. What does your breath taste like? Right now.

The difference between being guided by love and being guided by fear.

Guided by fear

To be guided by fear is to do things because you are afraid of not doing it. When I do something out of fear I am usually persuaded by thoughts like “If I don’t do this then I might be in trouble in the future.” To be guided by fear is to always be thinking about the future, in a sense, it is to live in the future. When I am guided by fear I do things because I am afraid not to, not because I actually enjoy doing them. When I am being guided by fear I usually think like “i’ll do this, for that.”

Guided by love

To be guided by love is to do things because you love to do them for their own intrinsic value in the present moment. When I do something out of love I don’t have to be persuaded by thoughts of reward or punishment in the future, I do them because thats what I want to do right now. To be guided by love is to be present in the moment, enjoying life as it happens right now.

An example

Tonight I got a phone call asking if I wanted fly to Boston to become “trained” in an expensive proprietary development platform, something which could potentially be pretty lucrative. Instead of being guided by fear and thinking towards the future, I realized that this “training” was definitely not something that I wanted to be doing with my time, it was not something that I wanted to be doing right now. Instead of thinking about what I didn’t have and what I could have had, I looked at my present situation and realized that this payed training was not something that I actually wanted to do. If I was more aligned with fear in that moment I might have taken that opportunity thinking “I want to do this because it will give me more money in the future.” Instead in that moment I was more aligned towards love and in the present moment which totally screamed that this was not something that I was going to enjoy doing.

Basically, to be guided by love it to do something for its own sake, not for its fruits. To be guided by fear is to do something for the fruits and not for its own sake. Ultimately there is nothing wrong with being “guided” by either; love or fear. What it comes down to is how you want to live your life. Would you rather live your life doing things you don’t like for something in the future, or would you rather live your life doing what you love right now?

Today I found myself getting angry at someone who was visiting the house. I said some smart things then he said some smart things and I noticed that old familiar feeling of anger start to creep up inside. This feeling of anger made a lot of negative thoughts seem justified. Feeling angry I felt justified in having thoughts like “He shouldn’t be here” or “What is someone like that doing here?” among others. Thankfully a friend came in the door and asked if I wanted to meditate with her, I agreed noticing that it was about that time.

The power of meditation

Sitting to meditate I had to face this angry feeling head on, there was no computer, food, or conversations to distract me, it was and always is just me and me on the meditation cushion. As I sat slowly but surly the anger started to fade and with that my thoughts also began to change. The key turning point from negative thoughts spurred by anger to positive thoughts came when I realized that I create my reality, that is; that I am responsible for my reactions at all times and therefore I am responsible for the reality that is created around me.

I have the power to react to this person in whatever way I want, it just happened that my default mode at that time was to react with anger, and this was further justified and therefore spiraled off by my thoughts. The moment I realized that I have the power to create my own reality my anger was soon replaced by feelings of empowerment.

The power of taking responsibility.

By meditating I am not ignoring the problem, I am facing the problem head on. In my meditation today I became aware (yet again) that I am fully in 100% responsibility for the “problem” in the first place. In fact the “problem” really isn’t a problem at all it is more like a learning opportunity. With the strong knowing that the reality I create starts within at the thought level, I gain a tremendous amount of power. No longer was it this persons fault that I was angry it is my fault that I reacted to him in that way, even more subtle and powerful is the realization that it was my “fault” (or in other words I caused it to happen) that he and I had an interaction at all.

This is to say that everything around me, everything that is going on has been caused by me in some way or another. I am the causer of my reality, truly and fully 100% I take responsibility and therfor I have the power to change it.

Logos

Why wonder about the loaves and the fishes?
If you say the right words, the wine expands.
If you say them with love
and the felt ferocity of that love
and the felt necessity of that love,
the fish explode into the many.
Imagine him, speaking,
and don’t worry about what is reality,
or what is plain, or what is mysterious.
If you were there, it was all those things.
If you can imagine it, it was all those things.
Eat, drink, be happy.
Accept the miracle.
Accept, too, each spoken word
spoken with love.

–Mary Oliver
