Not Crazy

In a world gone crazy, only the crazy are sane.  #AkiraKurosawa  

We're not crazy.

It's a wild ride. 

We're adapting, looking for comfort zones and solutions.  It's a wild ride to a new place of connection and compassion. It's clear what we see and feel.  Not pretty, but there are signs we recognise.

There is a certain private boldness inside, our inner power to sense answers. We're pioneers for peace, dignity and purpose. Questions and curiosity are good. Change is a process. Solutions will bring new options. 

Magic. 

The spark of Life is magic we share. We collaborate, make love and work to find emotional, social and physical balance. We're all connected. Our greatest power is the power to love. The drive to have social and environmental justice in the world today is brilliant sanity. 

Trees, insects, animals, plants and creatures of the seas and skies help and heal each other.  For every form of life, intuition is the multi-dimensional spark inside that affirms power and purpose. Feel your power to  connect. The universe is inside you.

Life is always adventure. 

Like birds, fish, flowers and trees, we are part of Nature.  Intuitive drive is our nudge toward purpose and each other. When a flower faces a storm and is bent and battered, it next reaches towards the sun, towards light. Until we die, we are flowers who experience seasons, storms, atrocities and soft warm breezes. There is always the option to sense light.

Connection, rejection, curiosity, enthusiasm, opportunity and reality are different for everyone. We are multidimensional and wear different hats for all kinds of reasons. Respecting multiple realities unlocks the power of perspective to have mind and heart open. We need that.

Intuitive smarts.  

Intuition syncs with open-ended ways of dealing with responsibilities, pressures and needs. People are beautiful. We are lovers, friends, creators, workers, children, parents, humans who wear many hats. Boundaries like personal dignity, courage and love, protect, unite and free us from dogma. In crazy times it makes sense to break away from shackles clearly hostile to our planet and ourselves. 

Switching how we dress or talk to adapt to different social environments is intuitive smarts. It's how we survive. The expression is, code-switching.  which originates with POC.  We all do it – sometimes to fit in, sometimes to stand out.  We're free-falling with style. 

Intuitive passion's our free zone.

Intuition is an open portal. It's the free zone where time, desire and reality merge. Our responsibility is to work together, adapt and be flexible. Feel your magic. Sense the Sovereignty of Life.  Trust your gut.

A gut feeling is power. We can sense more and deeper. Syncing with soul signals our cultural shift to respecting the value of different realities. It's an awakening, a great time to be alive. Power to protect  life is a mantle of responsibility we are born with. It starts with protecting our values. There's nothing crazy about it.

Light

Love-letter.

Perhaps light is a love-letter from the universe.  It's possible. 

The orgasm of light is an flash of focus, that like love, wakes us with its own language. Shadows and rainbows up the ante.

No one is alone in the light. 

When light changes, which it always does – boundaries shift, surprising everyone who takes the light for granted. Don't be that person. 

Crystal.

Imagine you are a crystal, but not perfect. You are beautiful, complex, raw and smooth as silk. Light shines through your crystal eyes, mouth, heart and soul. The light merges to be a point in time. Intuition is that point. It is the shine of passion and self-respect.

Intuition is a joyous soul-infusion that awakens and embraces you with rhythm and purpose. The focus can feel restless if you ignore it. Don’t waste your light. Today will never come again. Your crystal self is a collaboration  of heart, mind and soul tuned to love and justice.

B O S

Spread your wings.

Your heart hears through your mind and sees with your eyes.  Trust answers you feel with your body and sense with your mind. Go for quality. Set yourself free. Sense passion, honor your spirit and love life. 

Integrity, diversity, self-respect, and accountability are lights. They are the gut feeling, signaling that the coast is clear.  

Change.

Life is a dance of change. Light offers itself like a naked glance or starlight in the afternoon.  It uncovers courage or desire that is ecstasy or honor.  Light can take you anywhere you need to go.

Light is intimate. It is fire inside that consumes and transforms without burning. Was the ‘burning bush’ a love letter?  If we are surrounded by love like the prophets say, then we do not live without it – and it appears everywhere.

Light conducts the sacred music. We taste love before opening our lips and feel light with eyes closed. I cannot stop talking about love. Love and light are untouchable and in air we breathe. Love-letters are everywhere.

Purpose.

Purpose lights our dreams and ambitions. The light is flexible and generous. Exceed expectations. Your heart wants you to be happy.

Learn how to read the love letters sent by the wind and rain, the snow and moon.

"Put your light on." Passion is the light and rhythm of understanding and desire. That's where I like to be. #janebernard

#CarlosSantana: Put Your Light On

Smiling

Smiles lift us to a place of possibility.

Blending energy is human magic. A smile transcends the rational to sense the possible. Smiling is our human way of spreading the intangible spirit of hope. When you see a person without a smile, give them yours. Sometimes a smile is just a smile – other times, it's a moment of Peace.  That’s why a smile can change everything. 

Our world is an obstacle course of disruptive innovation. Smiling, like eye contact, is a choice that helps us help ourselves. Your smile is energy that heals. 

Life is constant change. It seems we are all, in some way, are being liberated  – and not necessarily by choice. Life is adventure, surprise, responsibilities and Love. Smiling at others is our non-invasive communal way of staying connected to the bigger picture.

Your smile is personality. It delivers connections that open-source new opportunities. It sets tones of intimacy or shows appreciation. Courage, dignity or curiosity bring an inner smile that keeps us balanced and in-tune with heart, soul, each other and the unexpected. Constantly we blend energies along the way with a smile and without a thought.

No matter what choices you make, there is always another gauntlet. Sometimes all it takes to balance the way is to share a smile. Dancing with change is intuitive. The alchemy of being is a balance of spontaneity with change. Our fulcrum is Heart. Smiling keeps us steady.

  

The unexpected happens every day. Every day, the ground beneath our feet moves. It’s rarely what we expect. Smile more.  Smiling is the stress-free intuitive way of letting go of expectation, judgment and cynicism to let fresh energy come. 

By smiling, we organically sync and heal with pace, freedom and Love. Smiles invite peace. Peace is an elastic zone full of Light and surprises. Like sharing a smile or falling in love, Peace is collaboration of energies. 

We need peace to know satisfaction. When someone smiles,  gives you their hand and looks into your eyes —it is an exciting whiff of  freedom to be yourself. Personal satisfaction is contained and sustained with certain energy found in a smile. Often smiling is the comfort zone of choice. 

As you smile, you're letting go of demands you place on yourself and others. Your whole face relaxes and you sense a Lightness. It's a state of mind. We find more intrinsic value in Life when we smile more. It's amazing. 

No matter what else is happening the wind blows, the sun rises and a baby is born. Every Life has seasons and each its beauty and lessons. Living on this planet comes with no manual. Instead we sense our own uniqueness and energy we share with each other. 

Your smile signals acceptance. When someone smiles we instinctively relax and smile back, because we feel we are not being judged. When we share smiles, it's a way of connecting even if we’ve never met. When energy feels like mutual respect, its the path to Love. Smiling makes communication sweeter. 

Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile 

but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy. ~Thich Nhat Hanh

Making plans.

"Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans". #JohnLennon

Life is a crash course in amazement. We are part of things we cannot control. Everyone has to process failure. Hang on to your smile because free-falls happen. Smiles are skyhooks of Light. 

We are cosmic music of heartbeats and breath. Nothing matters more than being honest with yourself. That's the refrain that keeps playing. It's the backbone of happiness. 

Be responsible to your heart, mind, body and soul by balancing and responding to what you sense. Mortality holds us with a light touch. The music plays and we dance, sometimes alone but usually with others. Feel your unique DNA ordained rhythms. Sense the beat.

Smile from the heart. Hear through your eyes. Inhale and exhale intentionally. Your life is part of the grand design. You are a source of original energy. Inside of you are answers to your questions. Notice what you sense. Intuition gets stronger when you use it.

Use the inner compass of your senses to stay on the path of destiny. You see, hear, taste, touch and smell where you are and where you want to be, but your senses don't tell you what to do. The way to predict the future is to create it. Intuition is DNA ordained, time-bending GPS that spins with honor and dignity. True North is the same for everyone. It is inner Light of purpose that shines the way.

Intuitive muscles build inner strength that is the foundation for joy. We are always the sum of our potential. Work-out with courage, dignity, foresight, determination, patience and curiosity to power your journey through time with honor, character and class. 

Back-peddling that seems like a glitch, usually brings personal growth or unexpected magic. 
Miracles happen every day. 

You are not alone. Share eye contact. Soul-touch with your ears. Feel the Light with your heart. Be compassionate. Needs are signposts with flashing lights. Pay attention. You are the universe expressing itself as a human  being. #Eckart Tolle

Noticing what you sense can balance your heart, mind and soul. Tune-in to your truth. Someone loves you. Someone depends on you. You have dreams and desires. No matter what answers are present, everything is possible because everything is changing.  Flex intuitive muscles by using your eyes and ears to understand who you are.  

Life is amazing. You are much more than you realize. Plan to love life. Great passion is a firm, strong heart with a gentle and yielding mind. Be willing to "change rooms in your mind for a day." Check in with the wild side of innocence that is tattooed to your soul. With intuitive timing, plans work out.

Think with your senses and feel with your mind. 

Life is sweet and lovely.    #janebernard 

Denying Tribalism

Be part of the light. It's a wonderful place to be. 

Photo by Giuseppe Bovo 

Prejudice promoted by tribalism is the leading isolating, destructive force in our world. Arrogance and violence are its hallmarks. By acting intuitively and thinking sensually, we can deny tribalism in our environment.

Belief systems around us are crumbling. Yet, our global sense of spiritual and technical connection has never been stronger. The future is ours to create.

Times of change always reveal the best and worst in society. Be the best. Nothing can stop you from choosing dignity over hostility. 

Tribalism is poison that turns hearts to stone. But the human heart is invincible. Sensual intuitive thinking is our global blood bank bringing constructive change to our world. Courage, determination, dignity and common sense are magnets that unite our spirit in rhythm with change.

Prejudice of tribalism is a dark disease from the past that promotes negativism everywhere – Africa, Asia, America, Australia, Europe, Scandinavia, the Middle East. Tribalism is closed-minded group behavior that depends on strong negative feelings towards people outside the group to feel valid. With a disdain for humanity in others, tribalism is heartless.

The power of intuitive thinking to undermine ignorance of tribalism is real. Simple sensual connections unite us to feel grateful for life, more certain of who we are and calm. By trusting what feels right, it's easy to stay aware of dreams and priorities. This gently opens doors for others to do the same. Our priorities are not so different. Listen to the music in your heart. Walk with freedom and justice in your life. Stay in rhythm with love and truth.

Life is short and we don't have a lot of time. Everything is not easy. Justice brings balance that happens in its own time. You will keep in sync with change by noticing what you sense. This reinforces choices that guide and nurture your unique humanity. We are here to learn, change and grow. As soon as we become tools of tribalism or dogma, growth stops. Don't ever be guided by hate. It is the path to hell.

We live with technology that helps us separate from the corrupted tenets of tribalism by opening our eyes to alternatives. Tribalism is rigid and irrational restrictions grounded in the past. The internet is connections and updates available to all. We can choose to live with respect and peace.

It is intuitive  to heal ourself and our world by refusing to be limited by prejudice. Choose to sense the light. We are born to be joyous, to love and to honor responsibilities of being alive.

The spirit within us bends, but doesn't die. To break the stone of tribalism may not be possible. But, with sensual intuitive thinking, we can starve it. There is always a balance of light and dark in our world. Use your power to feel what is humane. Be part of the light. It's a wonderful place to be. 

I love this photo taken by my rafiki (friend) because it's either a profile or compelling eye contact. How do we know which is right? We don't. All we know is: There is always more than one way to see things.  

During times of change and upheaval, you have soul. Use your voice and actions to heal. Keep communication open. Notice what you sense. Tune-in with clear eyes, ears, heart and mind. Be aware of what's going on. New solutions for old problems will push open the small door of the improbable. It's amazing.

I have just three things to teach:

Simplicity, patience, compassion.

These three are your greatest treasures.

Simple in actions and in thoughts,

You return to the source of being.

Patient with both friends and enemies,

You accord with the way things are.

Compassionate toward yourself,

You reconcile all beings in the world. ~Lao Tzu
