A childhood friend..

I had a childhood friend many years ago... we played together and sometimes he played alone but seemed to love that as well... he loved to swim and ride horses... we played tennis together...

He enjoyed being outside all the time... we camped together from time to time... he loved his pet dogs and would just sit down and talk with them... he told me later they were the best friends ever...

He'd go for long bike rides... and loved trips to the ocean... we went together a few times... I could see his love of life even though he seemed to have somewhat of an unpleasant home life...
We used to ride our bikes to the farmer's barn behind his home ...and sneak in ...and build forts in the hay loft... then skedaddle when we'd hear the tractor coming...
He was sure high on life... and it seemed to rub off on me from time to time...
As the years passed, we seemed to have lost touch with one another... not sure why or how that happens, but it does...
What a surprise, when tonight as I am watching a John Denver video, I am visited by my friend once again... and am overcome with joy and love... that love of life that resided in his spirit and his whole being... has come to life within my soul... welcome home...
....... Happy New Moment!

Wednesday

"Go West young man"...

In the Native American traditions "West" is the direction on the medicine wheel signifying healing and introspection...the answers are within us... At the end of the day night sets in and we enter the dreamtime. The animal energy of West is also represnted by "Bear".

Bear instinctively knows when it is time to hibernate...to go inside the cave... Bear also knows how to heal itself by eating the right plants given to us by Mother Earth and Father Sky...

It is said that we as young or old as our spirit and heart are. As I approach another birthday in our western culture, it is time once again to listen to the "Bear" medicine and the "West" medicine... and take some time to meditate and listen to that which is deep within... at the heart of inner guidance...

Are you listening to your instincts and intuition? When is the time for introspection for you?

Blessings on your path....

On Healing and Love...


On Healing and Love
Healing = Source Energy = Love
Life = Being = Source
Will = Intention = Choice = Action
Spirit = Life energy = Love = Peace = Joy
Healing occurs through Life's Source Energy
We humans must set our personal preferences aside and get out of the way, while we remain in the path of Love's Healing flow.
The Divine flows through all of Life and is Life...
If we are to be instruments of Healing and Love, we must attend to the dimension of Spirit and set our intention with passion and will to channel the healing resources through our form... be it energetic, touch, thought, emotions and/or prayer.
Life is Being...
Trust the process of Life Energy...of Spirit...
Our ego cannot force something to happen... it will happen in the moment of letting go... of releasing our personal desires or wishes for power or results... results will occur as we let go of any egoic wants and even at times when our personal attachments get in the way...
Affirming the power of Life...the receiver is best served by letting go of past and future and simply being in the present moment.
We are multi-dimensional beings of Being... interconnected through the Source which is LIFE... a oneness of Living Energy...
Life is...
It is truly a miracle that Life exists at all... and that we create symbols to write about Life's dynamics...
Let us do the work to place our ego wants and desires and attachments aside for those moments we wish to truly be servers of Love and bring healing to ourselves, others, the world, and the social and tribal dynamics in which we find ourselves.
As changes occur in us and around us, we are asked to find that center within that is free of the chaos and dramas of the world.
A new year will assuredly bring many changes, personally and globally.
It is good to have the support of others. And we are encouraged to have the support of others who find that spaciousness within that provides a stable basis from which to act. Many will embrace one another in fear and want to be companions in misery as is always the case. Let us encourage one another in the path of Spirit...in the path of Love... in the path of Life...
Love and blessings from John and friends.

A Real Christmas...


A Real Christmas...
I find myself with a woman I know... she is holding an infant... I am embracing them both and realize it is our child even though we have never had intercourse... as my gaze meets the child's eyes, it is as if I am looking into the cosmic Source of love, being, and pure awareness... a sense of joy floods through my body as this cosmic infant and I are connected in deep awareness... I wake to the day with the ecstasy of joy, peace and love coursing through every cell in my body and lay in bed just allowing the wondrous sensations to infuse my whole being.
This spiritual epiphany came many years ago during a time in which I was ingesting the "Course in Miracles" material... To me this is the real Christmas... when the child of cosmic consciousness becomes conscious in our own awareness...
Life is always present and presenting the new in each moment... I am grateful for the sometimes brief and yet huge encounters with those deepest aspects of who we really are ... Of course this inner babe is the "son or daughter of 'God'" ...of Source...in a way that goes way beyond the dogma and doctrines of any organized religion... the spiritual core gifting itself into our body and real world experience is the best of all presents...
May this holiday season remind us how deeply connected we are to Life at its deepest levels and to each other and our world!

'Stuff' and Life energy...



'Stuff' and Life energy...
Bear with me a few minutes... there is something that is trying to emerge about 'stuff' and Life...
For several years I have been simplifying my life of 'stuff'... partly from a sense of mortality and not wanting other to have to 'deal' with the 'stuff' I leave behind... As time went on I found myself letting go of more and more 'stuff'... to the point where I moved to Denver by placing some 'stuff' in my car... another 'stuff' item... and sent some valued 'stuff' like some books and clothes in boxes ...
So when I arrived in my new apartment, it felt empty and needed some 'stuff' to make it feel more like a comfortable space.... a home... so I got some new and used 'stuff' that I sensed was needed in the new space... but this time, while I got what I liked, I feel much more detached from the 'stuff' that it here... it's more of a stewardship thing... okay I'll take care of it and use it for a time and then someone else will have it to use... that's all...
There is also something deeper and almost ironic, if that's the right word... It seems that the more I was able to let go of 'stuff' it was also like letting go of the past...in some mystical energetic way... so by detaching, I feel more present in this Now space.... in the present... and am able to relate with all the dynamics and 'stuff' in my present life from a somewhat more clear space... the 'stuff' I have accumulated in 3 months are things that I sensed were needed for his time... and when the space told me it was right... then I didn't need to look any longer... there are no 'wants' for more...
A lack of attachment to 'stuff' helps me wake each day with the reality that indeed it is a brand new day... yesterday is indeed gone... today will bring new adventure and opportunity... to be here and enjoy the moment of Life we are gifted.

The way the world works some days....

So, I am out taking a walk to check out a place to get a hair cut about 2 blocks from home according to 'google'... and as I am walking a young woman comes out of a doorway and has a brightly colored reddish streak in her hair...
 .
I looked in the open door to discover a 'beauty salon' existing less than a block from my apartment... so, I introduced myself to Nikki and mentioned it was 3 months since my regular "stylist" was able to do my hair since I moved here to Denver in September... then I followed her into the 'salon' and made an appointment... so, sometimes as we are walking along with one thing in mind, the universe opens doors and brings people into our lives for a specific purpose...
 .
Keeping it real, in this case a haircut is a haircut is a haircut... but the flow was a nice experience....and that's just the way the world works some days....
 .
Now, the name of the shop is "Namaste Salon."  I'm not sure what "namaste" means to the salon owner, but in my book it means "I bow to you and honor the divine spark residing in the heart of each of us"... that adds a bit of zing to it, I'd say!

'Tis the Season...




'Tis the Season...
Beyond the purchasing of stuff...gifts to shower on one another... there are a few other things of which I'm reminded...
The presents... I am grateful that people have money and the where-with-all to purchase presents... although I am guessing that much of it goes on credit lines that ensure ties to the economic 'wheel of fortune'...or is it the economic wheel of 'karma'? The movement of spending and giving and getting adds to the playfulness of the monopoly game... And yet the 'presents' reminds me also of "Presence"...
Presence takes us beyond the activities of giving and getting... it brings us back to the present moment of Awareness... Of course we love our family members and friends to one degree or another... the social ties are precious and so important in our journey... Presence can take us to a place of pure awareness where we can notice what is going on within us and around us and the interplay of old and new dynamics... just being aware of the energies that exist... without being pulled or swayed at each change or motion...
And in the Presence, I am reminded that I am more and less than the body's sensations, movements of feelings, thoughts that flit here and there... I am more and less than the flurry of activity in the world around me... and yet a part of all that is...
The flute music fills the air in my living space on this day... and I am grateful that the artist has spent time to become one with his [in this case] instrument....and to use his breath and life energy to create such soothing vibrations... this process occurred over 'time... and yet the fullness of it soothes and serenades in this moment of Presence....of awareness...
It brings a special Presence of Peace... and I am reminded again that in 'this Season' I am grateful for all those who have come before who have reminded us of the spiritual truth of Presence... that we are more than the contents of consciousness and giving and getting...
We are one with Being... the Essence of Life....of Mystery... of "No-Thing"... of All-That-Is... Thanks to all the spiritual teachers and guides that continue to remind us of our deepest nature... In this season of doing and getting and giving, I am grateful for the Essence of Love, Peace, and Joy that is transcendent and lives within all that is...
'Tis the Season... if I could pass out "Presence," I certainly would be doing so....

Who is Hatoochee?

One day I traveled in a vision to the top of the mountain and visited with Grandfather and Grandmother... Elder Wise Ones whose advice I seek from time to time...

I said to them as they sat on the porch of their mountain cabin, "I have been called 'John' by my earthly parents and while I like the name I was given, I am wondering if you would provide me with a spirit name...?"

Immediately, Grandfather said, "Hatoochee"...

The meaning that came to me is this:
...the Breath of Life which moves through you to others...

So from time to time, Hatoochee [or H'tuchi] pops up in the writings and on the Sundance blog...

In case you were wondering...

Peace and Love...

Turning of Life's Wheel...


Turning of Life's Wheel...
Making plans for today and tomorrow
without knowing how the wheel may turn...
Transitions continue... creation and re-creation continues into the day-nights of Now... the eternal now...
We live in a world with the illusion of stability
while earth spins in universes in constant motion...
We live in the illusion that time more than a convenience of our creation.
The One wheel turns...
if we try to hold on to tightly, we will crack apart...
Stand in the still point that is in the center of life's wheel...
Be amazed at the changing landscape of thoughts
emotions
sensations
body
social structures
relationships
hunting and gathering
Breathe in and out the Gift of LIFE this moment...
Pray the yearning of your heart ...
Be at one with what is...
