Mother in Laws

  This past week my Mother In Law passed away.  I reflected on the her and her life.  Our relationship.  What I learned from her.   In our culture you hear a lot of negative commentary made toward relationships with ones Mother In Law. There may or may not be some truth to the lense that one may see their Mother In Law.   When I met her I got the impression she was not impressed and had genuine concern over her daughter marrying me.   For I was not the Returned Missionary she was hopping for her daughter.  I had long hair and looked like I walked out of a Poison MTV video.  I was a 4th year college student in a 2 year college working as a meat cutter/truck driver. I was not an active member of the LDS Church.  I grew up in a divorced home.   Most of my family was "Jack Mormon".  Meaning they drank coffee and known to have a cold beer on occasion.   Needless to say I did not meet the cultural standards and her expectations of a Son In Law.   I dated LDS girls before meeting my

Tao 23

Image
Power over others: The Others is Self. With this understanding we use power wisely. Open yourself up to be one with Tao (God). Be able to express yourself.  Be in the moment.  Then get quiet. When life is raining.  Be the rain.  Rain hydrates the world around you.  A life saving force. When the wind of life is  blowing, be the wind.   Wind brings in new oxygen to the world around you.  The wind blows the leafs and cleans the garden of debris.   When the clouds of life reside, be the sun.  Shining warmth down on to the world around you.  Giving new energy to your surroundings.  Sunlight is the energy of life. The life source that energises your heart and the energy within the hearts of others.  Open yourself to Tao (God) you are now one with Tao.  Open to new Ideas.  Become new Ideas. Open to loss.  Become loss.  Learn form it.  Grow from it.  Be better for it. Now open to Tao (God), you trust yourself.  Everything falls into place! Good day my Friends!

The Coin

Image
  For Christmas in 2023 I gave a Decision coin to those I care deeply about.  I continue to give the coins and over the past year I have given out over 100.   What is a Decision coin you may ask? It is a coin used to make decisions of course.  When you find yourself in a position you need to make a choice between 2 things.  Assign one choice Heads and one Tails.  Flip the coin.  Where it lands is the one you go with it.   Do not look back! This started for me when I was on a trip the to the Big Island with close friends and my son Scott.  We found ourselves multiple times trying to make a choice on what to do, where to go or what to eat.  He would pull out this coin and say Head or Tails!  Flip it.  Off we could go! Scott would later explain he got the idea from a book about a gentleman that use he would use a set of Decision Dice or coin to make all of his life decisions.  The book was the story of his life and how he experienced life making decisions in this way.  When you really thi

Tao #25 Perfection

Image
  Before the Universe was born there was perfection without form. Mother (God) Tao, giving birth to All things. Nourishes them and cares for them.  Protects and takes them back to itself. The 4 great powers: Man, Earth, Universe and Tao (God).  All are one! Therefore you are Tao (God).  You never left.  Tao (God) never left you.   For the belief that you are separated from Tao (God) is false. A teaching created by Man to gain power and control.  This is not of Tao (God) but of ignorance (Ego).   A position of loss realization that  Tao (God) and Man are one in the same.  Be who you are.  Tao (God).   Knowing this, is self empowerment!  Peace, Joy, Pure Love.  It is Ok!   Everything is alright.  Have a great day!

Trees

Trees. You can learn a lot from a tree.  Trees absorb the energy given freely from the sun and turn it into food so they can grow.   They share their fruit with others to be feed as well.  They breath in carbon dioxide and breath out oxygen. Filling the world with life giving resource so others can live. In the Fall they let go of their dead leaf’s so in the spring they can renew.  What if you were like a tree?   You take in energy  from the Universe to nourish your soul creating positivity to share. What if you took in  the toxins you encountered changed them, and then released them back into the world to give and support life. What if in the Fall’s of your experiences you let go of your dead leaf’s?  The thoughts, beliefs that no longer serve you. The negativity that holds you back.  Letting go so you can renew, grow and become stronger in the springs of your life experiences.  What if you could be more like a tree? Good day my friends!

Tao #28 Balance

  Know the male. Keep the Female. It is knowing the Yin and Yang. The balance allows you to open your arms to receive the world.  Do this and become a child.  Because you know the light you understand the dark. Though this knowledge, Tao (God) is strong within you. There is nothing you can't do. Know the personal (thy self). In doing so, You can accept the world. For  this allows Tao to illuminate within. You become a tool of the Tao (God) to be use in all things. The Yin and Yang.  Being in Balance between inside and out.  Balance allows Tao to reside with you always!  Bringing Peace, Joy, Love and Strength. Be in Balance! Good Day My Friends!
