Picasso is noted as saying something along these lines – in order for art to blossom it must forget the rules.

When it ignores the expected, it sets itself free.

It finds its own unique voice.

It becomes authentic and real.

In this freedom art transcends all logic in the world.

It doesn’t ask for permission nor tether itself to the norm.

It simply exists to flourish as what cannot be contained.

It arises from the purest emotion that only wants to create.

It is there that art is vulnerable.

It is there that art is immense.

It is there where art connects with those who are able to contemplate it.

And in its imperfections, they recognize themselves.

True greatness lies in what dares to be unapologetically real.

This morning when my daughter was beginning her day, she sang a song from Les Miserable, “One Day More”.

When I heard her quietly singing, “another day, another destiny”, the words lit up in my brain.

Every morning when we awaken, not only is it a new day, but we have evolved to a higher vibration and to a new place in our psyche. 

So every new day we project for ourselves an upgraded destiny from a higher vibration and a more evolved perspective that is always ours to claim.

Life is working out perfectly. 

You don’t need to be afraid.  

Just do your best with everything. 

And enjoy the winds of change. 

For life is truly a journey,

Though it sounds a bit cliche. 

So immerse yourself in what you love,

As the tides of your life wax and wane.

All the right things are happening. 

All the right people are here. 

All the wrong people are fading away. 

It’s safe for you to let go. 

Spend your time doing what you love.

This is your destined career.

And treasure this beautiful planet,

It will always provide for you.

Imagine yourself with the love of your life. 

Your home brings you peace and joy. 

For they are already destined for you.

And my dear, you are destined for them. 

Steadfastly hold your dreams in your heart,

While they are coming true.

Let your light shine as uniquely your own.

You’re a precious gift to the world.  

So don’t be afraid my darling.

Your dreams are already true. 

How impressionable are we as we live from day to day? The answer is an unequivocal VERY impressionable!

A month ago I was at my brother’s house for dinner. He’d had surgery on his thumb to quell his arthritic pain. After a grueling recovery, I asked if his thumb was better.

“Not really,” he replied. “It’s just as painful as it was before the surgery.”

“Sad,” I said disappointed for him as I looked at his gnarled hands, swollen with painful lumps on his knuckles and rather unsettling.

A few weeks later I noticed a painful lump on my left thumb. I knew I hadn’t bumped it, then realized my brain had locked into and copied my sibling’s condition.

“No, I will never have arthritic hands,” I informed my subconscious mind.

As an avid stitcher and knitter the thought of arthritis mortified me, knowing such a condition would ruin my favorite pastime.

Over the following days with many insistent reminders to my subconscious mind, the swelling in my thumb went away as did the nagging pain.

“Wow!” I thought regarding this. “How impressionable is my brain?”

Then I laughed at its folly, relieved I had taken charge and not allowed my mind to create a debilitating condition.

Have you ever heard the theory about “The Simpsons Show”? How this animated sitcom predicted so many things that would play out in history?

I don’t know a lot about it, but I’d like to use it as an example of something I want to explain, because I know it’s the opposite of what everyone is saying.

“The Simpsons” didn’t predict anything, they simply planted the seeds. As one of the most popular and long running sitcoms in our nation’s history, the writers suggested silly events that took hold in countless minds, until we subconsciously played them out once the seeds took hold and surpassed a collective tipping point.

We’ve created these real life events that were whimsically planted in us.

This is why companies pay high fees for commercials on television. And this is why our government (once not as corrupt as they are today) outlawed cigarette commercials because of the ill effects.

The pharmaceutical companies are well aware of this and inundate the public nonstop with suggestions of possible illness, peddling their harmful drugs to consumers who watch tv, knowing they are cultivating an extremely unhealthy public as their lucrative revenue streams.

Ironically our government no longer cares about us, with their final “take what you can” attitude as our cherished nation collapses. Instead they protect the drug companies from any consequences.

So please protect yourself from this harmful environment. Eat organic non-processed foods and spend as much time as you can in nature’s healing vibe. This is what cures the body and rejuvenates the soul.

Way back in 1977, Frank Zappa wrote the following lyrics – “I’m the tool of the government and industry too for I am destined to rule and regulate you… I’m the slime oozin’ out of your TV set.”

Retrain your brain to set boundaries with mainstream culture as it is steeped in misinformation and predatory illusion, so you can create a healthy condition throughout every aspect of life.

When I go for a walk on the beach at the end of the day, I am struck by how many people are celebrating the sunset with pictures, romantic gestures and quiet solitude as if they long to follow the sun over the distant horizon.

It’s no wonder, as there are few things in life more engaging than a beautiful sunset and precious memories.

But when we watch the sunset, we are looking toward the past, not fully aware of our future lying in the other direction.

The planet rotates forward as does the passage of time and what we think, say, feel and know creates what our lives will become.

Turning our backs on the future and focusing on the past is the fabric of karmic loops and lessons repeating themselves.

Indeed, our brains are programmed counterproductively and can often take us back to the past, especially when our present reality pales in comparison.

But we must experience every moment in honor of what is to come, knowing our future is a projection of who we are in the present.

Let the evening’s sunset be symbolic of letting go and giving thanks for the goodness that comes with every day.

Give your attention to the present and make it the best it can be, so your brain doesn’t default to the past or worry about the future.

‘Being’ your highest and best in the present attracts the 5D reality of that which you desire and your visions of an incredible future will crystalize effortlessly.
