I Am What I Am.
Nuff Said.
If I am going to create the life I want, by playing with consciousness, I first need to define what I want and understand why I want it.
This is basically manifesting or consciously creating what I believe to be what I want. It is also called co-creating, using powerful intentions, applying the law of attraction, being one with my higher self and so on.
Call it whatever you want, we fall into one of 2 categories. Either you are responsible for what you do and thus what happens to you because you are consciously choosing to focus your thoughts on what you want and therefore you are in charge of your “reality” or you are not responsible for your thoughts thus things that happen to you are not really based on what you really want meaning you get shit on by other people and circumstances, or whatever you call it.
So, back to the main thought…
This is the end all be all “life I want”, not “I want to go to Fiji on vacation, this post is the big picture. And when I say “the big picture” I am talking about my life as a whole and when I describe the vacations I take, it will be that “I travel the world seven to eight months of the year” because “I have enough money to do with my time as I see fit” and “I book my travel based on the experience not the expense”.
What is the life I truly want? Obviously this is going to be different for everyone so we are going to use me (Landon) as the example/experiment.
If I can get to this point I can move on in the (action) part of creating it.
I am turning 40 this year and my life has turned out exactly as I wanted. Ash and I travel the world seven to eight months a year, we live in a castle we modeled after my favorite castle “Wasawo” which sits on a two hundred acre lot filled with trees, a pond several little streams and rolling hills. We have several acres dedicated to organic gardens and have a little farm… cattle, chickens, pigs and of course several pairs of Great Danes – a black pair, harlequin pair and fawn and a brindle. Love my dogs. We have about eighteen thousand square feet in the main building and two large guest buildings and 7 cottages as we have turned our perfect home into a weekend retreat and B & B for like minded people.
We have a full staff of experts who live on the property to help with the gardening, cooking, animals etc. This is home base.
We have several homes around the world in our favorite spots, Ireland, Transylvania, Argentina, Japan, and a couple more on the way.
I am the curator of the worlds premiere auto museum and serve on the board of directors for several animal refuge trusts and dedicate most of my free time to helping organizations preserve our wildlife.
We also love the rain forest and have leveraged the worlds government against itself in a way that we have purchased the land in the name of the generations to come and have seen the deforestation plateau.
My children are in their mid teens and spend most of their time traveling the world with us getting a real life education instead of being stuck in a classroom all the time.
I spend almost every minute of every day with my favorite person, my lover, my best friend and my partner for life, Ash. She is a doctor… she is in love with the mind and how it works and spends a lot of her time, researching, reading and writing… and has become one of the leaders in the field of neuroscience.
I love sitting around the camp fire in the back yard of our home discussing the above topics with people who are also very passionate about the same things. I am blessed in the life I have created and those whom I have surrounded myself with.
See, its not about the attainment of money or the status of having accomplished anything, its about the feeling you experience in being what and who you are. Notice the “being” part of that last sentence? We are not human doers we are human beings.
So, don’t take it the wrong way, I love material things, in that I need to have a home, it might as well be my fantasy home, I need a car, well that’s not a good example cuz I want a whole museum full of cars, I love to cook, might as well have another gourmet kitchen, I love clothes, even though I prefer jeans and a tee shirt I like wearing suits, I love to travel so why would I limit myself to the boundaries of a full tank of gas???
It comes down to the feeling of what you want, and to be clear on that I mean it is about the feeling you have when you experience something. I have always wanted a certain list of characteristics in the woman I am with… (I went through a process which I will continue to write about on this blog) and have her in my life. Same goes for about six thousand things I have or have accomplished or have experienced in the last ten to fifteen years.
If you understand that YOU can be the driving force in the creation of your daily experience and you do what need to be done to take those reins and begin to create your true reality I hope I can add to your search for the answers, keep in mind what may be the answer for me may not be the answer for you but the following outline will be the same for all human beings.
Figure out what you want?
Why you want it?
What does it (the experience of it) feel like?
Do you beleive you can get it?
Are you willing to dedicate yourself to attaining it?
Can you plan it, create a goal based on it and follow through?
Can you let it go?
If you can do those things, you can have anything you want.
Have you written a post about what you want in life? If you have comment here and put a link to it in your comment.
Which do you prefer?
Scroll down to my side bar and find the one that says “Light Or Dark”.
Check them both out and comment please.
BTW, I AM a little behind in posting… a couple of you thought I would have a post or two out for you to check, sorry I got a little side tracked.

In the beginning of my annual hibernation I always come back to one thing, spiritual consciousness and here is what I am reflecting on.

I believe that “what you believe, works for you based on how you believe it” including the depth of your conviction and the amount of emotion associated with that belief as well as what you get out of believing it.

For example, I believe that my girlfriend loves me all the time, and just like the song that comes from… ironically she does, love me all the time.
This also feeds my ability to create life as I see fit, meaning, for me, by me and with me.

Here we go.
So, where do I find my self coming back to? Spirituality, the source of it all, science meeting spirituality.
For all of us it is the same, and so very different, we are all “looking” at the same thing through different perspectives and life experiences.
It is a game we decided to play to see how long it would take to remember the the Truth and then how to re-become that truth along with evolving into an through the next transformation… 2012 anybody? The 5th age of man, the ancients have set fourth, reminders and clues in their legends and teachings.

If this is new to you and you are intrigued stay tuned… you have just found the opening of the rabbit hole.
I will be back later today to add to this post and build on the depth of just how far the rabbit hole goes.

I just read a post at one of my favorite blogs… “What Ever It Takes”, that helped me to remember an epiphany I had as a teenager dealing with a very painful moment.
We tend to recognize things in our daily experience that reflect thoughts we have that are not necessarily prominent or even very strong, take for example driving down the road and seeing the new model of a car you like, nonchalantly saying to yourself “wow, that’s really cool” and then your focus immediately changes to something said on the radio. You all but forget about that car and the next few days go buy and you discover that you are noticing these cars everywhere you go.
There is a whole lot more to this than what I am putting into this post and by that I mean the actual reason and full description of why and how this happens…
What I am trying to get across is that I love seeing people realize things of this nature and then really thinking about it.
Take the post from Aaron at aarongayah.com about the people being evicted, this struck a chord within him that he has thought about long enough to express it in a way only he can, so he can psychologically deal with the experience and balance it out in his mind. He is awake, aware and really “feeling” what goes on around him and I love that.
That’s really all I had to say.
