And with you brother. I won’t share this here but you know already.

I can personally say there have been many moments where I was not or passed out behind the wheel......My personal journal notes quite a few of them, feel free to read it if you wish. I'll point out though a recent example of a situation of being the change that indeed I think applies. In this example it is not even my train but another's a person who needed that encouragement.

A certain person is not where they are supposed to be consistently and in such the are suffering academically and personally (though they would never admit it.) This person was so far behind that making it up was indeed a challenge for the best of us. After spending the day with this person working through the mounds of late work I decided on a whim to try and make a deal. I would stay after work for a few extra hours to help get the final pile done. We made a good amount of progress. The final thing I said to him was this, "from here you have to start over, stay up to date and focus on the time you have and how you are using it. That is the only way to fix what you see as horrible, to avoid the consequences that the other parts of the system are talking about enforcing on you." from there what this person chooses to do is their own, but the point is that he was placed back in control of his train. All said I had to then focus and understand that I do not have have a stake in how his train rides, where it goes, and what it carries. That is to him to provide. I don't hold any expectations but when i see him I do ask how he is doing, he avoids the topics we worked on and obviously to me this seems like it is unwell. That said the power of placing someone back into their drivers seat with your effort should never be eclipsed by the outcome we hope or expect but should be viewed as the kindness you chose give in that moment. Do not hold the past but for the lessons it teaches, do not reach to the future but for the path it shows you, stay in the present for the steps you must take. This is something I should have said to him, but that is a lesson to use in at the "right" now.

Much love,

Manifestations often have no time frame in real life. As a believer in the Force, I feel it’s my joy to be able to share this bit of truth, even though it often has a moment of variance. Things in life grow at their own rate. They spoil and mature at a rate some times we can’t grasp or predict. We can get pretty close but more times than not, things come to pass at their own time. I have to often remind myself this in real life. Some ideas and some ways don’t work on my time schedule.
My family has a pet frog. He’s not really a pet. I met a man in the great state of Texas. An odd fellow, he had frogs loose in his home. He didn’t feed em. He claimed they took care of the bug problem and they were kinna neat. Three months ago we loosed 2 frogs in our home. I’ve only seen one. During random moments I’ll hear dishes clink or thing lights knock when our loose tree frog is on the hop. He’s more active at night , there are times the wife comes home at night and there is he scaling the ceiling. This morning, I found him on a cedar sapling I have in the downstairs restroom.


Ain’t nothing compared to seeing one of your ideas in full effect some random morning. Look at that fat little frog!! The flies and spiders are at minimum and he is happy as a - well as a tree frog in a tree. It took a few months for him to learn the house and for home to figure things out, but in its time- it did come to pass.

If you got an idea in the making or a way your trying - keep going. It might not fan out to much but the ability to try AND remember that things often work on their own time - rarely ours. Be well Jedi and from my family - and their pets, to yours - May the Force we share,seek, and serve,find us all as we seek it ! Right in the thick of things!

This is a Metaphor
Good Shepard is a place in Texas I’ve spoken about. It has the tree swing and a river that is the clearest and coolest you will ever know. The water is almost - sweet. After a dip in this river - I’ve always had fun there. Of all the things I remember about it- I don’t remember the rocks. Funny. I remember the river the trees the sky the stars the grass the sounds the birds - everything else but - the rocks. I know there were rocks there but they don’t stick out like everything else. Here’s my point - the rocks are important to the river and for the river. They clean it and keep the river flowing on the direction it flows —- yet... as many fond memories as I have of it - I can’t remember the rocks.
Some places are like rivers- flowing with stuff we need and experiences and even people. Some are the rope tree- the grass- the flow- and some are the rocks. Think about that for a bit. The reality is there are some things in life that have certain roles that... are needed but - you don’t go there to see them.
Go down to the river. See the trees and feel the breeze. Make the hike. Stay the night. Watch the sky. Hear the water rushing. Hear the constant flow, see it and feel it. Don’t yell at the rocks. The rocks keep the river and set its course as it flows. No one goes to see the rocks but they do have a part - a very important part to play. With out the rocks there would be a river wild and distructive. The rocks are not the river but are needed for flow.
Be well and may the Force be with you this week!

Pick your fights - choose where your effort goes.

It is few years ago, when I read one book about law of attraction.
Which explaining that similar thoughts, emotions, actions attracting similar.

I couldn´t say for sure if it´s really work, there is lot of skeptics
but in the past I found out, that this law, had got very strong influence on my life.

This story has happend when I used to going on primary school, it was in (9 class),
I wasn´t good at enforce, so I talked just with some close friends. When I finished primary school.
Follow on the secondary school, while a holiday I was really nervous and I was afraid, that
don´t find any friends, proceed the last day of holiday - my fear about it, has increasing.

So what do you think how could it end up? I am serious.
And after 2 years I become being positive, and grateful and everything is changed to the better.
It´s quite scary and amazing what could mind do with whole life

with love Erinis

Trading words

During ones path and in life , when the definition from competition becomes balance -when you begin to apply this one for that- that’s when you have evidence of a Jedi mentality . Then... expect change. Expect objection from yourself and from others but most ceartainly, expect change.

May the Force be with y’all!

I would like to share with you some interests about one book

it´s years ago, when I read a book - Továrna na sny ( a Dream factory), there was
very interesting point.
That whole our lives we trying to be someone. What that means.
Simply we trying to behave normal, buying a brand cloths, going to gym,being on a diet, staying overtime at work,
for buy that brand cloths, things and so on.
All this is causes, because we want to be Someone, who is acceptable and adore by other peoples, who are largely unknown for us (public transport, spaces)
We wearing masks, because we want to be someone. And be yourself is too dangerous. (isn´t, it´s courage)

We want to be somebody not nobody. But there is a trap behind the world, because no one can explain what it really means - nobody.
Everybody ´ve got at least one characteristic, which makes him somebody.
Nobody is a same lie as independent.
So forget about separation, we are all net of connection )

What do you think, why some people behave badly? Could it be causes by people´s belief in separateness

As promised - !wink!

There are many questions that come down a path of self reflective as and self review. This type of question is common. I, myself, often wondered in the beginning and during my path of life - is this a false sense of direction im taking.? What if all this time and effort is just a lie? Am I just masking what I really am. ? Most people will have the basic same questions. They may differ but the bulk revolve around things like this. I can share with you what and as I have learned and seen but you may keep this open idea as you create your path over the years! I defiantly recommend it!
There is a idea of time travelers in a book I read called Einstein s Dream by Alan Lightman. It’s a novel about Einstein’s ideas. Those who “hope” for or who see into the future of what can be- May- be time travelers. Those who seek a perfection they know they can never attain... those who seek the mind of a diety or a greater idea— they are often said to be placing the mask of some one else’s or even some thing else’s righteousness or the face of something they are not. Some go to great lengths to say that we all wear different masks all togeather , regardless of religion or idea.
Our Three Tenents here are Focus - Knowladge and Wisdom. This order can be applied to anything any way in any idea at any time. The chooser is ... you. I’ve seen hammers used for many a thing besides hammering. The big idea is - what do you do with it !? What are you making ? Why wear the mask ? Why seek this or that? What is the result. ? There are so many different possibilities when you think about things really - some make choices based on what was given and some go find more on their own.
The question we each can ask is - which what I’m doing - mask or not - what’s it doing to me? How is it sculpting me... is that what I want ? Example : Most of my cloths I but for me. I pay very little attention to what others think because - I can dress myself and am free to pick and choose my own clothes. Something so small but just an example - my character is the same - I can pick and choose which goal to reach for , which to not and which to see and which to let go.
If putting on a idea or a robe (gratuitiois hint!) or a mask or a religion or an way or a mindset can help make what you want - isn’t that the idea.?

One myth - two myths - red mask - no myths ... ( thank you Dr.Seuss)
That’s entirely up to the individual and what we want to become. Force be with you still!

It´s impresive view on thing.
But I am not sure if I understand this > Those who seek a perfection they know they can never attain
Perhaps it wasn´t literatim. I ´ve got opposite perception of that.
Because most of life, when we seeking something it will appear to us.
Three Tenets are in certain sense > thought loop, to discover how (which direction), we think.< so it´s also self reflective
In fact there isn´t any stable anwer on three tenents, it´s our view < but no one is wrong.
We usually seeking something what makes us happy,
same as wearing mask wich keep us in certain distance from something what could makes us unhappy/hurted.
Masks can be percieved like fear, which is usually hidden behind the mask. Example is when someone.
criticize (firistly sacrifice) then you take a mask - and now you looks like I am proud, serious, - still you are anger to him,
and think, how jerk he is. But in fact it was his view on it, what he don´t like, the person who was criticizing someone.
>Same as our three tenets

Many selfless ways and many faiths many ideas have this focus that we know - we may never attain. Example: I practice selflessness yet I still think about myself. I do not stop the practice because I’ll never be fully empty of my self - I let it shape me , Help me even.

Masks are tools like any in life- they have the potential to free or keep , our choice.

Often the word achieve can be placed in for success. Where I’m from, the focus of success is everything. From a job to a career to a set of ideas on family and friends and cloths and food and.... the list goes on for days.
At random times my 5 year old will remind me of what I teach him- “ know when enough is enough” and most times he pipes that - he’s right. When we achieve and acomplish things do we give it the credit that it’s due? I remember when my focus was a bit different I would complete something, then just fly to the next objective because I didn’t make the time , have the time or just really didn’t think about it. Today I remind us - and myself - when done with something, stop and be done - rejoice for your accomplishments - drink and toast and dance and sing and be happy - rather than just somber on to some larger day - have many smaller days of joy rather than just one ! Wink! Heck , share one with some one !
May the Force we share - seek- serve - be with y’all this week.

As David Bowie says - just ... dance!

The Dance

Do you dance? How and what do you dance to? Is dancing an important part or any ... of your modern day Jedi ism? Is there different ways to dance ?

Close to my love we sway. Some days dancing helps stop a lot of grrr and frustration for us.
Some days I’m so excited, me and Kevin Bacon get our feet loose!
Some days I meditate and sway and enjoy the sun, or the wind or even the rain.
I dance in the rain. Alone or with my loves. ( my 5 year old boy)

So today the question is - do you dance Jedi? Do Jedi dance? Do these (you guys ) type of modern day Jedi cut a rug? Do ya groove?
I look forward to your responses!
If ya don’t ... try it out .
Force be with y’all!

Yes I love dance,

I used to dance a contemporary dance and ballet in dance school InDance
Latter I get into selective dance group the PopBalet, there was increased a dance lessons
Which also contained a ballet lessons. Twice participated a dance internship > Dance without limits.
Altogether I danced 9 years.
But I had to interupt visiting a dance course,
because nowadays I have ahead of final school leaving exam. So I have to learn.

Concurrently I still dance a ballet at home, because it miss me so much.
But it isn´t same wonderful experience like, when you are inside the dance school,
where is the large dance spaces with many mirrors. And peoples, whose dance with you.
So there is cumulate a great current of energy and you are part of it. < one dance choreography = one being at the same time.

I am looking forward to the graduate, because after that I would like go to dance internship Dance without limits and again continue
to dancing in dance school.
> Sometimes I let abduct myself > I dance on music and creating a random choreography < which I forget at the moment - I do it,
but there is more important to let flow the music and movement together. It´s absolutely freedom and happiness for me.
I recommend to you!

Is here anyone who dance too, don't hesitate and please write your experiences.
Dance movement with you

When I’m happy I salsa and jump or freestyle myself. With others I waltz which to me is the easiest and funnest . I’m


Or some times I just get down and throw my hands in the air some times and say - heyyyy yo !

I like dancing . There’s a very real connection when ya do with others too.

LOL

Ever miss one thing and realize now your gunna be behind for a bit? My sons has these dominos - actually they are wooden planks in the shape of dominos with no numbers on them. After so much planning and setting up the ever moment can come when accidentally or through no fault of our own or even because of us our stack begins to fall. Most times I wanna
Yell -“ Dang it “and watch them all tumble down.

I was at Fort Bliss for some time and during my stay there, at the “mall” there was a man who sold hand made glass items. Beautiful colors and melted do dads made a very fragile type of art. His specialty was roses. No joke and every soldier there some how some way had one or a few of his works in their homes.
So, I would see him over a butane torch melting things every now and then at the mall and it happened one day I accidentally hit the cart he had and dropped a figurine. Crash! Broken pieces of a alligator slid and flew every where. It was his reaction that I’ll never forget ... with his protective glasses on he said - ohh one of the properties of glass is it easily breaks... that’s what makes it so beautiful. He scooped all the glass into a small box and said don’t worry friend - I melt glass, I do it for a living and - I’m good at it ! We both smiled and went our way.
How we stack or how we do or even what we do- can some days become out of sync or even shattered beyond belief some days - life is full. How we react can make the difference between catching up or staying behind. Our focus can also play a key role like my friend at the PX - so today is Tuesday- not Monday ... yet here we are ! Let’s remember life happens- when undone or out of schedule what do we do? Can we be vigilant or do we let it take all our focus?
Happy seeking Jedi and as always - May the Force be with y’all this week!

There’s a saying by Winston Churchill said somthing that sticks with me in my Jedi path - “You will never reach your destination if you stop and throw rocks at every dog that barks.”
I guess the same can be said about a modern day Jedi “The journey we take can be kept often by the words we use to free - the difference is not what we use but in the application of intent and how often we “swing at the dark.”

How many times in my life I just argued. Just to get my point across as right. Just to make the point -“ I’m right!” Back then it seems all to easy to just chalk it up to beginners trail and error but now not so much. Now I find myself the go between or even the peace keeper. Odd for me- a step out of my own element. I’m a fighter ! Bring it on I say. Some times ... there’s really no need for a fight ( for me anyway) . Some days it’s more of a bettermoption to continue and DONT stop -even if you will win... - even if your right - some days there’s no need . Oh , that I would live in a world where it wasn’t fight some one was so freely than to give rather than peace or a hand to help. Well if it’s gunna be let it begin with ... me. Can it be we? Something to think about. Not every one is that same and I know - I count on it actually now a days but if we all just tried ... imagine what trying at the next level could create ? Force be with y’all!

There are always more to things that meets the eye. There are always more sides to things than we think. Motives - actions - ways - things - we some times can’t see. Life is funny like that. In this light - some days we may never see the whole picture or even all the contributing factors. There may be times when we do and those moments are so nice but in reality and in ceartain settings, we must understand this or - be unbalanced often. Upset is often un balance. Why don’t I know everything or see everything that has brought this moment here....
This is one of life’s most frustrating things - not being able to know everything and not having the answers we would like. There’s a old saying “ grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.”
Somtjimg to think about THIS week.
May the Force continue to be with y’all as we all seek it .

Nice!!
