Life inside "The Vortex"

It is interesting how life can get carried away with us and we can become so embroiled in day-to-day activities and experiences. It is not my intent to take so long between blog entries, however, I have been in school and have allowed day-to-day activities and experiences to capture my full attention. Oh well, c’est la vie!  This is not necessarily a bad thing…

I wanted to take the time to write a blog entry regarding the path I have been on since May of this year. I took a humongous leap of faith when I decided to move from San Francisco to Palm Springs. I left the lot of structures, folks and support systems behind and it was hard. I went through a lot of trials and tribulations in the experiences and unfolding events that carried me up to this present moment. Do I regret what I did?  Heck no!

Let me explain.

There are numerous blog entries in here under the title of “Life Inside the Vortex” as well as “The 90-Day Vortex Experience.” These experiences taught me so much more than about the Vortex or The Law of Attraction. In many of these blog entries, I spoke about tools and ways that would keep me in a place of peace and connectedness. They worked very well. But, I think what this really is about isn’t about the tools, it was more about being connected, in a place of peace, and staying focused.

Focus and peace is what I learned through this experience more than anything else. As I drove down the coast of California, I felt a palpable sense of peace overcome my body and my emotions. This peace for me was about being connected with Source Energy.

The more I let go of focusing on things I did not want in my life, the easier and easier it was to focus upon what I wanted. This is the main message I want to convey in my blog.

I can look back through my life and see experiences where I was focused on what I did not want because I was immersed in those situations and circumstances. I think this is oftentimes the rule and not the exception for many of us. I thought that by focusing on the problem and trying to figure out how to get out of it that that was the path I needed to take.

What I know now beyond a shadow of a doubt is that effort and trying to figure things out is not being in The Vortex. The Vortex, for me, is about being connected and at peace - nothing more and nothing less.

So, my daily spiritual work now is about peace and connection with Source Energy. My work in the world is imbued with that peace. My work is unfolding with ease and joy and grace. All is really, REALLY well.

I no longer feel like I NEED to focus on what it is I am creating. I focus on what I need to do TODAY. I trust my Vortex or The Law of Attraction to bring to me everything that I have put into Mind or into the creative medium of the Universe. I have seen over the last year, especially since arriving in Palm Springs, the more I stay connected and at peace, the easier my desires and creations come to fruition.  It really is as simple as that.

Life inside "The Vortex"

I can’t help but notice that my life is an enfoldment and unfoldment of ease and grace.  Also, if and as I savor each moment, life does not fly by so fast.  It is when I get caught up in a deadline, studying for a test or achieving some close goal or event that I see time fly by so quickly.  Why?  Because my focus is not in the moment, it is in the future.

What this teaches me is to be in the moment by being aware of my connection with all that is and with Divine Intelligence.  Be aware of my thoughts, feelings and actions at all times.  Be aware and grateful for the blessings in my life in both my thoughts and in my words.  Breathing deeply and fully and last but not least, expressing love no matter what!

This is my formula for making life a savoring experience.  I notice that I am more productive in my “work in the world” and “what I’m up to” when I am this present.  I get more accomplished in shorter time and the Universe, humanity and circumstances line up to assist me as if by magic.

I am so grateful for these concepts and realizations because I am free from the prison of my own mind and emotions.  I am in dominion to create and be all that I can be.  It is delicious, it is real and it is now.  And so it is…

Life inside "The Vortex"

Wow!  I can hardly believe it’s only been four months since I moved to Palm Springs! 

EVERYTHING is perfect just as it is.  I am loved, I have a delicious home, I have a delicious new lover, I have a delicious income and work in the world, I have a delicious educational plan and I am well.  Really, REALLY well.  I could not have planned things any better than they have turned out.

What I can say about that is to continue to stay in the flow or my Vortex and see where I am led and directed each and every day.  I feel good and life more and more delicious every day.  REALLY.

I am back in school studying a course of study that works for me, I am pursuing education through the Morris Pratt Institute for Spiritualism education.

I recently started a Meet Up group as well to discuss Spiritualism, spirituality and just to create a community of like-minded folks that want to love and support each other and CelebrateLife!  How fun!

I am endowed with an amazing peace that pervades this entire area.  I am at peace about being at peace.  It is delicious and delightful!

I trust and know that all is well and that life is unfolding perfectly and effortlessly.  I simply have to stay in the flow or my Vortex.

I am grateful for this and SOOOOOO much more.  And so it is…

Life inside "The Vortex"

Spiritually I feel in tune with my SELF and with the forces of nature that operate and govern the Universe.  I feel so connected with life and with all of nature.  I feel happy and content in all that I am.  This is the first time in all my life.  REALLY!

I started a Meet Up group yesterday for Palm Springs Spiritualism so I can begin the process of building a Spiritualist community here.  It was pretty easy and I am excited to invite folks in to have discussions and "practice".

I have begun my coursework in Modern Spiritualism through the Morris Pratt Institute.  It is rigorous, VERY interesting and educational.  I can't wait to get into the next lesson.

I love this course of study in Modern Spiritualism because it encompasses ALL spiritual belief systems and does not negate or push out anything.  It is all about UNITY, metaphysical principles and my new favorite topic of Mediumship.  Everything I have done up to this date complements the coursework perfectly and actually adds to my experience.

Other than that, I find at times I don’t have much to write because I simply don’t.  This is NOT a big deal.  I know that it flows from time to time and that all really, REALLY is well.

For this and so much more I am deeply grateful.  And so it is…

Life inside "The Vortex" - Peace, peace, peace...

I feel awesome today.  I feel connected and I feel at peace.  It is a delicious feeling and I know this is because I court IT first and foremost in my life.  This is the cause of all the good things that have happened in life and the radical shift in circumstances that have come about over the last four months.  It took me concentrating on peace and serenity first.

The reason I bring this up today is as a reminder to myself that this is my one true purpose; to be at peace, to be calm and serene.  This is the place that will bring all of my desires and wishes to fulfillment quickly and easily.

Even with a low bank account balance I am at peace.  I know I have more coming and more that that.  I know that everything I will ever need want or desire will come about with an ease and a grace that is unparalleled.

All things that I deem were once “lost” will be found again.  I will find them in delightful and surprising ways.

All relationships are peaceful and serene because I am at peace and have found serenity.  This includes all relationships where I felt hurt, betrayed or damaged in some way.

I am at peace and nothing can shake that.  Only I can shake it by letting go of it and allowing something else to replace it.

Jesus really meant it when he said the peace that passes all understanding.  This is a peace I cannot teach because it is something that has come about by reaching for it and making it my first goal in life; to be at peace.  Things will come and things will go but this peace will stay with me as long as I make it my primary goal.

I am grateful for this peace and for the blessings that have entered my life.  

The Voice.

Once upon a time there was a boy who was very unhappy and discontent with his life.  He wandered around and asked many questions seeking happiness and peace.  He listened to so many words and followed many different paths, but alas, he still found himself back where he started, unhappy and sad.

No one seemed to be able to help him because they all pointed to different things or contradicted each other.  This confused the little boy very much so he decided to hide.

He hid from people, places and events in his life by ingesting things that made him feel good about himself and feel happy for the first time ever.  Wow, had he stumbled onto something?  This was a long lost feeling that he was longing for and deeply desired.  So, he ingested much of these things for many, MANY years and wandered.

When he wasn't ingesting these things, he felt horrible and thought horrible things about himself and those that were close to him.  He also didn't hear, see or feel the love and support that surrounded him and desperately was trying to get his attention.

The boy did this until he was exhausted and ready to give up when a little voice in his head started to tell him what to do.  This little voice scared him at first because he had never heard it before, but, hesitantly, he listened to what the voice told him because it FELT good and came from his HEART.  This was a very new experience for the boy and he found the more he listened to this voice coming from his heart, the better he felt and the better things became.

He started to feel happy for the first time just because he was alive.  He also found that the more he listened to this voice the louder and more persistent it got.  He also noticed things and experiences were improving and his life took on a new direction.

Some of the things this voice told him to do were not very popular with the people in his life.  Some people got mean, angry and hurt with the little boy, but he decided because he kept feeling better, that the voice was more correct than these people.  It was VERY hard for the little boy to do some of the things the voice told him to do, but he listened anyway.

So, he simply walked away from these people, experiences and situations and allowed them to be without any bad feelings.  It was very hard for the boy, but the voice promised him he would find peace and happiness.

He wept and was very sad for a long time.  But, even in this he found peace.  In this process of he noticed he was feeling lighter and lighter and was starting to find happiness in the littlest things.

The more the boy listened to the voice the better things got for him and the better he felt.  Pretty soon the little boy was laughing, giggling and having fun again, just like when he was a little boy oh so many years ago.  Life seemed to be wonderful again and every day was a new adventure.

The boy decided he should thank the voice and be grateful for it's wise words and guidance.  He also decided to tell his story to anyone who would listen because everyone has this voice in their heart.

And so it is...

Life inside "The Vortex"

I haven't blogged for several weeks so I thought it about time I share from "Inside the Vortex".  A lot of delicious things have occurred and I am in such a state of gratitude and awe that it isn't even funny and I need to share it.

A couple of weeks ago I discovered something missing that was valuable to me and had intended to sell to raise funds for purchasing a car.  That was the next thing on my "hit list" of things to manifest.  One needs a car living in this town to get around more efficiently AND the heat during the summer can be debilitating and it is NOT FUN to walk in it.  I'm talking 115 degrees people.  That's HOT!

So, this item is gone.  Nothing I can do about it.  So, as I've learned from "The Vortex" I need to keep looking in the direction of my desires and not look at what has gone before or experiences that I don't want.  This was simply another opportunity for me to focus.  So I did that and I let go of the anger and upset as I needed and kept moving forward.

Last Friday I went to sell other things of similar value, and well, long story short, I got over double what I was expecting.  Wow!  Cold hard cash.  How yummy!  I spent the drive going home in gratitude and awe with occasional bouts of tears of gratitude.  This stuff REALLY works!

The more I see these concepts show up in my life the more at peace and tranquil I become.  This is so delicious and a wonderful new feeling.  So now I use this peace and tranquility factor as my measurement of whether or not I am in my Vortex.  It has guided me perfectly EVERY time.  No kidding!

Anyway, back to the story, I get home and immediately hit Craigslist looking for a suitable car.  I enter the search word "convertible" and what shows up but a 1998 Mustang Convertible at a price I can afford.  Wow!  I call the number and the contact and I hit it off like old friends and she tells me she will not answer any of the calls she was receiving until I see the car.  How generous of her!

Wait, it gets better!

The car is in amazing condition, low miles for its age and it is my favorite auto color, white with a tan convertible top.  Should I be surprised?  It is simply the Law of Attraction working as I stay in my Vortex.  Wow!

Now I do need to also point out that this make and model car is one I have desired since I was 15 years old.  IT WAS THE FIRST CAR I EVER WANTED AND DESIRED!  How interesting and delicious!

So, I ask again, should I be surprised?  Well, my humanity is still elated and excited about this.  My non-physical self just says, "see!"...
