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.

    First we need to do a Couple of things.

  • Dream Up Our Perfect Life
  • Figure out Why That Would Be “Perfect” (The Feeling We Are Looking For)
  • Decide If That Fits With Reality According To What We Believe
  • Put That Dream Scenario Down On Paper
  • Rewrite That About Five Times

If I can get to this point I can move on in the (action) part of creating it.

My dream life goes like this…

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.

First

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.

Idea's Law Of Attraction, Playing With Consciousness, Playing With Consciousness, The Hat, so mote it be

Through the sun drenched air, filled with a crisp damp bite comes old man winter.

The idea of hibernating from the extroversion of my summer self is a much welcome realization.  The hustle and bustle of get together’s and constant company, feverishly tending to the garden and herbs, cooking for friends and family is behind me for a while.  With the exception of two or three holidays I will be able to take all of this recent chaos in and  review who I have been and redefine who I am becoming.

This is an annual ritual for me, I am a Scorpio, born in the end of October and I have just begun my personal new year.  This is my time of reflection, review and realignment.  I had goals, I took aim, I fired and once again came out far better than I had imagined.

I begin each new personal year in a place of introversion and solitude, I put my head down, work through my responsibilities and remember that we are human BEINGS not human doers.  This realization in and of itself gets me right back to where I should be - in my heart instead of my mind.  More to come an that last statement because it isn’t completely correct.  Anyway.

What is it that I want to achieve by reviewing and redefining my current path? Well, what happens when you drive a car down a highway?  Even if its the straightest road you have ever been on?  You need to readjust your steering so you don’t drive off the road.  That’s just the beginning though, as you are driving you invariably get new information every moment, I’m hungry, it is about to storm and you need to pull off the road for a bit, the radio tells you the road is closed ahead and you need to take another route and so on.  Even if you are on a stretch that non of that happens,  the road is never completely straight for more than a few feet and you must adjust the wheel so you don’t end up in the ditch.  Life is exactly the same way especially if you are aware that you are having a spiritual experience in the physical plane and not the reverse.

It is also a time of intentional “inward” cleansing. Meaning I take inventory of my wants, needs, desires, doubts, fears, weaknesses, limits, strengths and confidences and judge them individually against what I have learned and realized over the last year and decide what worked and what didn’t.  I do this so I can figure out that the adjustment I need to make is a couple pounds of tire pressure (minor adjustment) or do I need to get the alignment done (big adjustment).

So, where am I at in this little process? Just giddy in the fact that my hibernation is getting ready to begin.  Based on my belief system that I have mostly consciously overhauled in the last 15-18 years I have some “tools” that help me get the process started and help me to remember who I really am.

Here I go… as I will so mote it be.

That’s weird.  Are you not political but know how to play that game better than everyone around you???  I’m guessin all the time.

Ever watch someone fire them self and not realize it??? People are not only weird, many of them are fucking stupid.  Ever watch someone walk around unconscious???  It’s weird.  Did someone tear their soul out and they haven’t noticed that they are missing something???  WTF?!? Its weird.  I’m steppin outta line.

Have you been to the cave lately??? That place where you are totally alone and still find seven people to talk to???  WTF?!? Its weird.  What about those moments when you can feel them help make those decisions that are all too important???  That’s fucking weird. Ever see someone medicated to the point of retardation???  I mean I have been high but he is a robot.  WTF??? Its weird.  I’m lookin at the signs.

Ever want to leave this place on a ship, but feel you cant for the lack of subordination???  WTF??? Its weird.  Ever quit smoking and that annoying little cough gets worse???  WTF?!? That’s weird.  My baby’s on the level.

Ever fall in love with a thought and find yourself getting closer to being further from it???  Again, thats fucking weirdEver find yourself in heaven amidst hell??? This lifes a trip, one I wish I had taken, why did I leave my imortallity behind?  What am I lookin for, Im steppin outta line.  Ever see someones soul and want to tear it out but dont want to deal with the mess???  Its weird.

Idea's Life, absence, The Other, introspective, Create

Darkness Falls

Sitting here, thinking, remembering, feeling, wondering, living.  BeingBlessed is he who is present, for not the days past nor those yet to come, but the one he holds between finger and thumb.

Pink Floyd, Nag Champa, the sensation of heaven in my mind for the time Being.  The day before me, after a nights worth of travel - sleeping in this world and Being in the next.  The mountains I have climbed and the lives I have crumbled.  The creeping of memories and the tide of trouble.

That which is, against the contrast of that which might be sends a tingling over this body like warm oil under the skin.  Black over white and day after night I have found myself again - this Being.  Who are you and who are they that cast them out from this Being.   Blessed Is As Blessed Has Done, hell begat its one lost son.  Who are you to invite him in…

Blessed Be, as i will, So Mote It Be.
