I
hope this edition of That Ain’t Nothin’ finds you all basking in
harmony, health, and wisdom. I know that you’ve probably been
wondering what in the world happened to me, and why I have not been
posting my monthly rant. Well, for the past few months, life has
been a little complicated and some things had to come to a
screeching halt. You see, I hadn’t been feeling well. Finally my
wife had enough, and made me go to the doctor. Long story short, I
had to undergo emergency heart surgery.
My
cardiologist put in place two coronary stents and could not unclog a
third. I am doing very well, today, thanks to the wonder of medical
wonders and the love of my beautiful and caring wife, Kathryn.
Therefore, I am more grateful than usual for the wonderful
opportunity to write this article. Trust me, these days; every
sunrise I witness is more miraculous than the one before. And I
really want you to remember as well that every moment is a precious
gift not to be wasted.
My regular readers
are already aware of the fact there are a myriad of monumental and
dynamic changes are occurring all around us. These unprecedented
cosmic fluctuations are simultaneously influencing us on our
spiritual, mental and physical planes. Therefore, it definitely
behooves all of us to closely scrutinize how and how well we are
adjusting to these dramatic events.
Let’s
break this down. On a physical level, the world is changing rapidly
due to the end of the fossil-fuel era. For each one of us this means
there is a destabilization of our world economy, and therefore, the
destabilization of our personal and national security. Added to this
is the alarming melting of our Arctic Polar cap which will
inevitably lead to a complete shift in the ecological climate of the
entire planet. Here’s an example of this: the Greenland icecap is
melting at a rate of 150,000 tons per year. This means the
desalinization of our oceans will change the tidal currents and as a
result the trade winds. Far less salt in the oceans will drastically
alter the course and directions of the winds and current, and
therefore, will affect global climates. It will quickly get drier in
some places and steadily get wetter in others. Think about it: the
last time this cycle took place the Sahara went from being a lush
tropical rain forest to being a vast, parched desert!
Now, on the mental
plane, we are being forced to adapt intellectually to a brave new
world in which we have to return to the innocence of living in
unison with nature and adjusting our habits to the changing of the
seasons. With our garden seeds being rendered sterile, and our
climate heating up to record temperatures, growing our own food is
becoming a challenge. Yet genetically engineered food is being
proven harmful to humans. Is this being stuck between a rock and a
hard place, or what? At this point, we have to live green, to solar,
use wind power and consistently think sustainability. However, there
is not a lot of governmental support readily available to encourage
this way of being. Yet, we must remain undaunted in our desire to
co-exist with the Earth as a living, conscious and evolving entity.
On a spiritual
level, we are hearing about more and more sightings of UFOs and the
discovery of more planets that could conceivably support life as we
know it. In all ways, we have to open our hearts and minds to accept
the fact that within the endless universe, we are not alone. Not by
a long shot! As the year 2012 approaches, and our planet moves
closer to the center of the galaxy and the central Sun, we are being
bombarded by the light and wisdom of the higher frequency of
Divinity. We cannot escape it, but we can deny it; if we are foolish
enough to choose to do so.
So, all in all, the
times they are a changing. I happen to know that we chose and were
chosen to be here at this auspicious time in human history. Only the
most heroic of all souls were gutsy enough to show up during this
galactic extravaganza! We are about to witness things never seen by
humans before. Yet, as these times unfold in all their glory, the
chance for personal growth and evolution is equally as
unprecedented. We are great, powerful and mighty spiritual beings
with dignity, direction and purpose. We need fear nothing, for in
the eternal reality, we are invincible. No force can come against us
and triumph. No dark wave can cause us to seriously falter just as
long as we remember who we are and who we serve.
Stay
strong, and be of good cheer; that way we shall prevail over all the
bad news, and each and every one discouraging global change now
making it self known. We have all gathered on Earth at this time in
history to prove that the Light ultimately vanquishes the dark, no
matter how bleak our chances at victory appear. It would fortify our
spirits to commit to memory the words from The Lord of the Rings
when Gandalf proclaims in the presence of the Balrog (darkness),
“Return to the shadows…you shall not pass!” No matter how
overwhelming the darkness (our times of uncertainty and economic
recession) appears to us today, if we persevere in righteousness and
faithfulness to the cause, it shall not triumph.
You know, I have been dead so many times that I tend to view life from a slightly different perspective than most people. Some things that outwardly appear to be serious are not, in my opinion. While other things that do not appear serious, really are to me. The saying
"That ain't nothin'" became one of my catch phrases after a man pulled a knife on a friend and me one night, years ago. The knife terrified my friend. But after all I have been through in my life, a little pocket knife wasn't worrying me. I looked at the guy, looked at the knife, and started to laugh. As I disarmed the situation, I said to my friend, "Ah, that ain't nothin'!" The story stuck and the legend grew. So, this monthly column will be all about my unique viewpoint of current events, world affairs, spirituality, politics, science, medicine and life in general. Of course, it will all depend on what kind of mood I happen to be in!
