Don't diss advantage yourself

“Every kind of relationship you have had and will ever have is based upon both parties taking advantage of each other as they should. If there is no advantage there should certainly be no relationship..”

Relationships are based upon mutual benefit and service. Many have stated don''t take advantage of me when that is always precisely what everyone is here to do. These living gifts in the form of people will bring something for you to take advantage of as well should they be forthcoming enough to tell you or be you wise enough to recognize it when it appears.  We come bearing gifts, talents, skills, knowledge, wisdom and most of all the opportunity for others to grow spiritually, mentally and materially through all our world has to offer. The source within us makes us the greatest resource to each other. Know the value our very presence has in raising or lowering the vibration and thus the quality of the lives of those around us. Our exchange of heat, cold, sound, touch thought, emotion and energy is the original form of currency. You are not paying to see a comedian you are exchanging their joy for yours and giving appreciation in response for their confidence. You are not paying for school you are exchanging information and attention. The ups and downs of intimacy is a roller coaster we have all waited in line for to get off dizzy and get in line again for another ride. We all seek the mutual feeling of security and trust that friendship provides. As of late this friendly exchange of energy directly between us has been supplanted by money amongst those clouded by misunderstanding. A parasitic vampire lurks in the minds of most seeking to take advantage of these subtle benefits with no intention of returning the favor. Somehow we have overlooked the change once we failed to see both sides of the coin. Every kind of relationship you have had and will ever have is based upon both parties taking advantage of each other as they should. If there is no advantage there should certainly be no relationship. They are usually multi-dimensional. Some have one main purpose like a job. Your relationship with that company is solely financial. Even this situation often develops into more as we become psychologically accustomed to the routine and we develop a brand loyalty and the sense of pride it affords. Some are in friend relationships where others are more intimate yet they also may co-exist. Some may be parents and friends. Some may be cousins and co-workers. While others are lovers, friends and business partners. There are many variables which are possible and add different layers to the life of the relationship. When one looks at the relationship as a living entity with a life of its own its layers become easily recognizable. When one of the layers is gone the relationship continues yet changes in nature. It is only until every layer is gone that the relationship dissolves. Each line in the cosmic contract providing purpose destined to be void upon its fulfillment. 

        

     The ties that bind us also follow the chakra system. Each chakra has a duality as each relationship layer does due to the fact that each power can be used or abused. The root chakra which deals with our physical security shows how we bond with some people because they provide a sense of security we currently lack. They may be able to provide us with work, shelter, food, protection, comfort and all of the things that will keep our animal nature well domesticated in our bodies temple. Following this is the sacral  chakra which bonds us in sexual and creative expression. This bonds us in passion, desire, generosity and greed. The solar plexus controls the power based relationship that builds our ego or substitutes for our lack of self confidence. The heart chakra pulls us into relationships that provide us with balance and harmony. The throat chakra talks us into relationships based upon communication.Our proficiency or inability to appropriately and effectively express our ideas. These relationships also will increase our ability to hear and communicate with the voice within us. The third eye chakra winks or stares  subtly at your unsuspecting prey to whom you lock minds with and engage in a bond of higher education that brings you clarity and a greater vision. These relationships aid us in our mental focus and accurate self recognition by increasing our intuition and ability to be in tune with the vibration beneath our surface. The crown chakra connection is a spiritual union where you just know each other. This connection is a mind opening experience in which your partner brings you closer to yourself. A relationship is only as strong as its levels of purpose and how dedicated both parties are to them. Should the meaning of the relationship change it must then be redefined. Sometimes we develop a new sense of purpose as time goes on or lose one of the initial reasons for the connection. Make the best of each relationship in your life and you will see all new ways you can benefit each other. When a relationship serves no purpose it must be changed like a light bulb or you will both remain in darkness. New experiences and fresh connections will bring life yet we must not lose sight of the value in the bonds we have already made and do all we can for each other until there is nothing more to gain. An unhealthy relationship can be brought back to balance yet one with no meaning is dead and can only be resurrected by purpose and passion.

     

     Relationships come in 3 flavors. Mutual benefit, partial benefit and mutual detriment. In relationships of mutual benefit both partners gain and grow from each others influence. Not necessarily in the same way but in the way they each need most. A relationship of partial benefit is imbalanced and exists in various degrees where one person gains while the other does not. One is parasitic and pulls on the energy of the other for strength yet leaves them weaker as there is no mutual gain. Mutual detriment is a relationship that should end before it starts. In this situation both parties pull from each others weakness and provide nothing the other can benefit from. The longevity of each depends on purpose, endurance, dependency, the amount of energy connections you share and the quality thereof. Do not deprive others who could benefit from a healthy connection with you to remain victim of your own inability to disconnect from an unhealthy connection. Should you be able to bring it back into a healthy balance it is worth preserving. These living gifts are yours so take mutual advantage of the present we share.

The Art of indifference

"To understand the cycles of life is to be comfortable with letting go of everything when it is time to."

The key to peace within depends upon ones ability to connect when it proves valuable and disconnect in times of detriment while the right expectations produce no misfortune or disappointment. Our expectations are but the vessel for ideas we anticipate who's time have not yet arrived. Let us leave no stone unturned in the search for true love but not without first looking beneath our own rock. The discovery of self love is the seed from which all relationships should be planted from. Let that seed fall from the tree of life for it is the parent to all partnerships you shall experience. One who is not rooted in self love will only produce seeds that bear rotten fruit. One of the most difficult moments to face is the moment you realize you have spent time watering and shining your light upon that which bears no resemblance to the fruit of your own labor. Disappointment would soon settle in were there an expectation of a more satisfying result. Yet we truly know in our hearts when great expectations are but fanciful aspirations undeserved by our present circumstances and past efforts. Good seeds planted out of season hold no regard for the ill fated timing of the work of their masters hands. The beauty of creation is the limitless soil of opportunity. What has failed this season need only wait until the time is right to come into fruition. Even the people in our life are seasonal and should be expected when the seasons support their arrival and departure. To understand the cycles of life is to be comfortable with letting go of everything when it is time to. To climb the tree of life we must let go off the lower branches to grab hold of the higher ones to pick what is ripe before it has fallen. Be not fooled by the taste for love is a bittersweet fruit unknown by the lips of lesser men. He who has consumed of its flesh will desire it whole when its core is reached in the passion of consumption. Thus our fear of love lost produces contempt for its hypnotic spell  alchemically transforming it into hate. Satisfaction alone rules nothing of a dual nature. The wise fear no loss of what grows in abundance upon his own branches. Therefore he does not fear losing that which he has found within. It is when we lack what's needed inside of ourselves that its value increases in others. Therefore some extort others with symbols of love they know they do not possess. They will place it in front of you and remove it from your sight before it can be claimed. Should you discover that you already have their prized bargaining chip their frustration with its lack of power will be evident. Such forces are of a magical nature barely understood by most who use their names without hesitance. There are spells which mimic the nature of love used by those who rely on you not knowing the difference. All that is required from you is belief in the concept of a seemingly intangible object of affection. The mirage of love is the greatest magic trick to ever captivate an audience of two, most confident in the desire of its idea and ill informed of its true nature. True love has quite contrary results only mastered by the art of proper detachment. True love flows through all creation as divine self identification. It is like ground water which is found beneath the surface of reality by those unafraid to dig deep in their hearts. This flow of energy is the highest value of currency which should be invested carefully and distributed cautiously. Those who are evil in spirit will misuse its power over others as it becomes hate in their possession. Those of such character will silently despise you for expressing it in its pure form. Thus it is indifference which will preserve your love from becoming tainted by their poison. The flow of love is not to be contained but move free as a river. Those who have not found where its treasure is buried will use you as their source until your reservoir is empty. The balance of giving and receiving keeps us all nourished. Unhealthy connections will deplete you and weaken your life force. Keep your heart pure and your well shall never run dry.

Intellectual Property Value

"We must invest as much as possible into improving ourselves. It is wise to build our intellectual property value for the more our realest state is worth the more our real estate is worth. If one has no self appreciation there goes the neighborhood."

Have you ever passed through a torn down crime ridden neighborhood and wondered what happened to this place? Have you seen groups of young people who have goals or direction in life? Have you felt the depressing energy at a bus stop or train station filled with people who all have a ticket but don't know where they are going? Have you crossed an imaginary border and suddenly the fog is lifted, the gates are off the windows and the people are smiling? I have which sent me on a mental journey to find out the root cause of the disparity between places that are so close yet so far. My first simple realization was that our external reality and environmental condition is a reflection of our state of mind. This can be seen in places where people don't lock their doors and there is less crime. It appeared as if the more chains, bars, gates and cages there are the more people who are willing to try to get through these obstacles. Could it be these locks and gates are really to keep us imprisoned in our own fears. This seems to be the unspoken result in the minds of those who accept these conditions. The more fear we have of losing our possessions the more we feel the need to lock them up and guard them. The more humanity fears the possibilities of our own free thinking the more prisons there will be to hide from ourselves. The more garbage there is on the ground the more waste exists inside of the people who feel comfortable with it around them. The more rude and disrespectful the public interaction between people becomes the more obvious it is that people are expressing how they feel inside. Many walk past each other avoiding eye contact because they have difficulty facing their own reflection. Those who are discouraged to the point of no return will tell you that everything you want to accomplish is impossible. This is the every day reality for many people which eventually makes the previously stated issues as undetectable as ones own smell. It is very noticeable to all who even pass this person that they may smell like a football locker room at half time except for the individual himself. The poor man wouldn't know he was poor until he met a rich man. The rich man didn't know he was rich until he met the poor man. Thus it is important to experience people and places from various walks of life. In order to choose our place on the scale we must be able to view the complete spectrum. 

   The next realization was that larger bodies were made of smaller components. Thus the feel, speed, energy and frequency of a particular place is comprised of the energy resonating through the people. The emotional condition of the people determines the emotional climate they share. The psychological condition of a large group will determine the mental atmosphere of the environment. This is why in some places you may be concerned for your safety as you pick up the mental signal of those who are around you. Some environments have a thick air of depression like a cloud of smoke everyone can feel but no one can see. The cleanliness of the area reflects the self value of the people who frequent it since the buildings, streets, lawns and trees are the body of that state of mind. States are not just places but are first conditions of being. A shared plane of consciousness. It is not the lack of money that makes a place appear run down. It is the lack of love, self esteem, confidence and an overall lack self value shared by a collective. The more we learn about ourselves the more we realize how special, complex and significant we are. Once we realize how important we are we will chauffeur our spirit in the healthiest and most cleanly physical vessel possible. As a result of this high standard of quality for our body we must then be a part of an environment that reflects this state. A clean, positive and healthy individual spending extended time in a dirty and negative environment is like wearing a white suit to go mud wrestling. Once you reach a state of self satisfaction you must surround yourself with people and places that assist in the maintenance of your higher being. Everything is mental and thus the quality of our stream of thoughts both conscious and subconscious is paramount. Great ideas will only present themselves in a mind prepared to receive them. Most carry the "thats your problem mind state"  not realizing that we are impacted by even the most subtle changes in our surroundings. We are effected by every thought and feeling of those around us. We are in a dimension of overlapping reality where we are a drop in a conscious ocean. Should one drop of ink fall into a glass of water the wise will not drink it. Thus the child who you fail to encourage may be the one to break in your home later. If one house is boarded up the whole street is judged by it. Elevate to your most authentic, genuine and realest state and the real estate of all who build with you will rise in value. It is time to raise our intellectual property value and think greater, do better and live healthier. You are worth more than you were told so polish yourself so we can all shine brighter.

Corporation vs Cooperation

The quality of our future depends on the ability of the people to once again believe in ourselves and each other.

For years we have been deprived of the direct benefit of our natural gifts to each other. Our natural inclination towards what we truly love to do was supplanted by the false need to survive in the artificial ecosystem of society. Many have lost faith in themselves as well as their abilities as a result. We have also lost the trust in each other as the value of large companies are branded in our minds from childhood. We used to know who amongst our immediate circumference was the go to person for any particular job. This put a sense of direct trust between the people as well as building the self esteem of the individuals of the community. In time larger companies began to replace the names of our friends and their products began to replace our self appreciation. In most cases people can no longer tell you who makes the best pie on their street. Most cannot direct you to the person in their community to go to for advice or to even unclog their sink. In fact those who have the skills probably don't know it either since they never developed them in order to do what they think they had to do to pay the bills. Ask where to find anything nowadays and the familiar department, grocery or convenience store is the first thing that comes to mind along with a logo and a familiar jingle they cannot remove from their heads. If you are lucky they may even whistle it for you as they look up the nearest location on their ipad. Instead of developing our skills we are now taught to memorize the steps to operate the machine or automated system that will replace our job. When we call one of these companies we are greeted by a robotic recording and after following its directions for about 15 minutes we end up hanging up in frustration longing for a human voice to resolve our issue.
     A day at the supermarket comes to mind as I had just finished shopping and pushed the cart towards the only open register which turned out to be a self checkout. This disturbed me at first considering there were more of these than actual human operated registers. I felt adventurous this particular day so I followed the suggestion of my significant other and tried it. After scanning 1 out of every 3 items required an employee to come over and approve the transaction. Considering there was 1 person to basically supervise 6 of these electronic employees you can imagine how long this could take. Finally done I placed my bags in the cart and proceeded to thank the attendant for help knowing it would have taken half the time without the machine. I couldn't help but find the irony of the situation quite amusing as people were being replaced by less efficient machinery. At some point it is only natural that mans collective wisdom will kick in and we will realize how backwards our idea of progress has become. Nothing ever lasts beyond nature and so we will have to eventually return to ours. As big business concerns itself more with profits, saving cost and mass production quality begins to give way to quantity. The concern for the value and effect of the product begins to dissipate along with the integrity of the business. The customer as well as the employee begins to be considered last after the needs of the business. The business now has a life of it's own and the first principle of life is self preservation. Thus what was meant to feed you now determines your time, energy, health and vitality to be the food it needs to survive. After years of branding and social conditioning through ads, media and word of mouth trust for the skills of others and the quality of what they produce is replaced by the big names who's reputation goes without question. After all if they weren't the best at what they do they wouldn't be so big and people wouldn't continue to patronize them. Right? At least this is what we would like to think but quite the opposite of reality. The truth is the way we have been doing things is flawed and the machine is rusty and broken. Did we forget that the machine is only as good as the functional components it is comprised of. It is certainly time to invest in ourselves once again. Here we are standing at the crossroads of corporation vs cooperation. The wise amongst us as becoming more self sufficient and taking the pride and care in their work that is missing these days. Focused once again on what they are best at and putting their love into it. This is something that can be felt in every stitch of the clothing we wear and every bite of the food we eat. The authenticity and positive energy of one who puts care into what flows through their hands.  From music and art to agriculture the time of the genuine individual who puts their heart into their work is coming back around. The challenge with this revolution comes from garnering the support of the people who are conditioned to believe in the big name as the better value. As more people jump off of the hamster wheel and begin to take actual steps toward progress they will need mental, emotional and financial support from a group of people mentally conditioned to deem them unworthy of their encouragement. What happens to an artist who's talent exceeds their commercially inferior counterpart yet even their friends and family consider their product to be unofficial because it is not presented though the usual outlets? What happens to an excellent cook who uses all natural ingredients that can't possibly have the effect of artificial foods containing addictive drugs? People will most likely continue to kill themselves under the familiar banners of fast food rest(in peace)aurants. What happens to such individuals is the same thing that happens to nature once an artificial replacement is presented that appears to be more sufficient and easier. Society breeds laziness encourages instant gratification. The time people must put into doing things the right way is viewed as wasteful in the business world where time is money. The true value is in the quality of the person who then puts that same quality into everything they produce. The result of a fast paced quantity oriented business filled with people who hate being there is eventually compromised if not completely eradicated. We must for our very own health build each other up from the individual to the collective. We must trust in our own ideas and abilities. We must invest our time an energy into ourselves and each other in the way we do for companies who consider us all expendable. We must regain faith and confidence in the value of what we can produce and believe in the products and services of others. We will ultimately gain everything all that we fear losing. We must let go of the false security provided by relying on the trusted names and brands and place it in each other. If you spent 40 hrs a week investing your all into your endeavors like you would behind someones counter would you not gain more? How could you be willing to put your all into something that gives you nothing but stress and the ability to remain in debt? How could you not support someone who loves what they do and is happy to serve you with a smile? These steps are a necessary transition to a happier and healthier civilization. Do what you love, love what you do and support those who do the same. A brighter future depends on you.

The Child Within

The child within is our inner sense and our innocence that remains unpolluted by the residue of unfavorable experience.

As she stood at the edge of the stage her eyes glanced over the crowd as if she was seeking the approval of someone before she continued her performance. The events of her life seemed to all build up to this very moment as past events flashed before her eyes like a movie that only she could see. The familiar voice of her mother encouraging her to do her best echoed inside of her head as she drifted further away from the moment. The angry sound of her father's voice soon followed as it always did. "Comedy is not a job. Go make something valuable of yourself." His words were etched into her brain providing both a mental block and a stepping stone for success. She silently resented him more than he will ever know. Her desire for his support for years held more weight than her own convictions. As a child she was always good spirited and attention hungry. She would captivate the room with her jokes and her contagious laugh. Her energy seemed to have a disagreeable effect upon her fathers serious and melancholy nature. For him success could only be achieved through hard labour. His attitude was very stern and overbearing as his presence brought an invisible storm cloud wherever he went. As she got older she began to take her comedy more serious and she made a firm decision to grace the world with her joyous spirt through her jokes, natural charm and wit. She concealed this goal from her father expecting his disapproval as she continued to go through the motions of the college experience eventually dropping out to do stand up at the local night scene. She spent hours watching her favorite comedians and learning from each of them to perfect her craft. Her routine improved and she received a warm welcome as she followed the positive reputation she created for herself. This night was however different as it was the anniversary of  her fathers death which happened to fall on the night of her biggest performance to date. At each venue she would scan the crowd with her eyes before her performance anticipating his arrival while knowing deep inside that he would never be there. This night however was different as anxiety began to grip her tighter than she held the microphone in her left hand. This was her first televised performance and she was extremely nervous. Suddenly a sense of reassurance washed over her like a cool breeze. She could feel her father watching even in death and for once he was pleased by her achievement. This thought brought her great comfort as she proceeded to give the best performance of her life. Later that night she sat with her proud mother who told her that her father had a difficult life. "Your father was very bitter and held strong resentment towards the circumstances of his life in an unforgiving society. He felt that since he had to work from a young age to survive and take care of a large family that everyone should do the same. He once had dreams of being a famous guitarist, you know." her mother told her with a nostalgic smile as she reminisced on better times with the man she loved. "The conditions of his life did not permit him to follow his goals and so his lack of encouragement towards you were based in his fears of your failure. He never wanted you to feel like he did and I used to tell him that you were different. Before he passed he smiled at told me he was so proud of you for sticking to your aspirations." she said in a loving tone.
 The inner child is the purity within us all. It is the sincerity and innocence in a child's eyes that trusts unconditionally. It is the look of adventure and exploration with each new discovery of this fascinating world. It is the part of us that we must always protect and never deny. Our inner child loves to have fun and enjoy learning new things. It seeks attention for our gifts to nurture our ability to express what we have been blessed with. Our sense of true love and creativity is located in the heart of our inner child. Often in childhood we are faced with sudden events that may traumatize us since we do not understand what has happened or why it has occurred. This creates psychological barriers and doors in our subconscious that we keep locked hoping to never be reminded of what has transpired in fear of reliving the experience. These hidden fears are often triggered by people, places and events that remind us of something that has scarred the child within us. The longer these wounds go untreated the more difficult it becomes to function properly as adults. Those who have a healthy inner child move forward with a positive attitude and continue hoping for the best while the unhealthy inner child is left coping with the rest. By not removing these blockages and dealing with these issues we begin to deny that they exist. We become the cold hardened disciplinarian that we once regarded as strict and boring. In time we begin to lose the vibrant life force that keeps us living, loving and learning. In time we begin to suppress our natural desire to enjoy life as we succumb solely to our responsibilities and daily routines. The inner child begins to cry out within us and we respond back in our own minds like the strict parent telling them to wait and denying their genuine needs. The way we deal with our inner child directly impacts our vision for the future for it is the child who sees no limits and boundaries. It is the child who colors outside of the lines of society. The inner child is the true revolutionary constantly transforming through innovative ideas and new ways of seeing ourselves and our world. It is important to identify the nature of your inner child and give them what they need from your inherent masculine and feminine energy. The inner child needs discipline but not at the price of encouragement. It needs to be nurtured and loved as well as enlightened and guided. Find where your inner child is hiding and set it free by facing past events that it may be trapped in. It is also important to be able to identify the child within others. Often what is perceived as an attack from others is their way of defending the child inside of them. Once you heal this part of you find out the interests and gifts of your inner child and you will discover the purpose of your life's journey. Carrying the inner child through the ups and downs of life is like walking around the world holding a candle that you cannot allow to burn out. The inner child is your olympic torch passed down from the sun to deliver the fire of your passion as a gift to humanity. Hold it high and keep it burning as bright as you can.

Social Networth

"If you can satisfy the psychological needs of humanity in a world of fantasy everyone will immediately invest in real estate in their imagination."

She woke up to the sound of an alert on her phone immediately signing on to her online account to check her messages on her desktop computer. Eyes still half open she read what she could make out through her blurry vision. With 30 minutes left before she was scheduled to work she allocated 10 minutes to driving, 5 minutes to getting dressed and the other 15 to both eating and checking her online accounts simultaneously. This being a regular routine for her made it easy for her to be prepared to leave with such little time. As she began to invest more of herself into her online presentation her physical appearance began to suffer. She began to spend more time taking the perfect bathroom picture than looking presentable in her true form. With much less feedback in the real world it is obvious how she arrived at such a decision. The occasional smile or compliment did nothing for her self esteem in comparison to a day full of thumbs up from horny strangers staring at her risque photos. Her shy nature would never allow her to be as expressive as her promiscuous online avatar. With a new name and identity she found freedom from the judgement of her real life acquaintances and friends. Along the way to her destination she couldn't resist responding to chat messages on her cell phone at every light and street in between. Finally she reached her destination and walked to her desk with one hand still stuck to the virtual keyboard of her device glancing in front of her occasionally to make sure she didn't walk into anything. After sitting down at her desk she started up her computer and spent the day balancing her work with hiding the pop up windows of multiple social networks from her nosy supervisor who was ironically doing the same thing unbeknownst to her. At last it was time to go home and join the online party with her cyber friends free from interruption.

Welcome to the cyber world of mafia wars, farmville gardens, digital love and on screen theme parks where you can mentally enjoy the ups and downs of your imagination. In a world always on the brink of war where death, destruction, ignorance, trauma and famine abounds the value of escapism is going through the roof. In the arena where drugs, alcohol, sex and TV have been regarded as champions for so long a new contender has overcome all three in the caged match of society. Who is this new undefeated fighter winning the minds and hearts of societies inner children? It is the social network where one becomes part of a community of people that only exist through online communication connected by wires and electric current. This allows people to live through a surrogate avatar and present their ideal version of what others will find attractive. The impact of this phenomenon is apparent as some of these networks boast a membership that rivals many countries. It seems as if we are all the president of a corporation in which we build up friends and followers instead of customers and likes and retweets instead of revenue. Millions seek to find their place at the top of the aspiring instant musicians of Myspace, video stars of youtube, Twitter celebrities, Linkedin businesses and Facebook icons. Social networking can be a powerful tool to share our experiences and ideas while gaining valuable and not so valuable feedback. It is a great way to connect with people who share a common vision and move toward a united goal. Certainly it is a place for the independent artist to spread their gospel and the small business owner to expand their business. These unfortunately are the minority amongst the attention hungry and socially deprived characters seeking the spotlight. Each one of these different platforms caters to a unique psychological condition. The users of Facebook pour out everything from their deepest thoughts to the current frustrations awaiting others to like what they say to satisfy their ego. Users flaunt the status of their relationship which becomes more valuable to some than a diamond wedding ring. Millions of groups are started spearheading social causes and political agendas. The use of the term friend to describe the connection between users has almost replaced it's original definition. Many now consider friendship to be a button click away as true friendship is destroyed by the dreaded add friend message after visiting a page you thought you were connected to. Major brands that have been etched in the minds of generations are forced to put a join us on Facebook sign on their doors to be considered official by the social network generation. The psychology of the Twitter user is aimed at the desire to worship and be worshipped as an icon. Idolatry at its finest is certainly the underlying motive here. The use of the term follower for the people you interact with suggests an imbalanced relationship rooted in self esteem issues. To build up a as many as followers as possible with no qualification of leadership is the goal. To accept yourself as a follower is a requirement to be noticed. The initial selling point of this site is the inquisitive fan wanting to know what his favorite celebrity is eating for breakfast and what they are doing at any given moment. This opened the door for all who desired to be in the position of the individual who attracts this kind of inquiry from others. There are certainly positive ways in which this platform can be used as well as it is one of the fastest ways to spread information and thus has been the revolutionary vehicle of choice. This can be seen in China, Iran, Egypt, Libya and others a a tool for social change and political upheaval. All tools has the potential to be used in beneficial as well as detrimental ways that will reflect the mentality of its users. More than anything there is an eminent danger of people finding the mental and emotional satisfaction in a place that exists only within our own collective on screen fantasy. This addictive path can potentially lead to a great decrease in personal interaction resulting in a greater loss of humanity. The internet serves as an artificial network connection between our thoughts as the computer simulates the function of the more complex human brain. The wireless telepathic connection between us is becoming dormant as it is replaced by a less efficient system of wires and computer programming. As people become more comfortable with sitting behind a digital mask they become less secure and comfortable with who they truly are leading humanity further down the road of insecurity, illusion, falsehood and unhealthy egotism. For those of us who see this happening we are given no choice but to log into the matrix to find each other and pull out those who have awakened to their own reality. The conspiracy theorists must look no further than the world wide web where the new world is online waiting for its next order. Use your avatar but don't become it or you risk being trapped in the web. You have real world value that is untapped. When the gold rush begins and man seeks his wealth in the dark cave of his own consciousness where will you be? In the free world or still plugged in. The voice is yours.

"Everybody is a star you just didn't know you are. Now you know it's right on time to show the world how bright you shine."

 He took one last glance in the mirror to confirm the perfection of his appearance. Narcissistic to some yet necessary in his profession. "Move fast you have about 3 minutes to get to the stage. It's packed out there and the crowd is getting restless." his manager said with a sense of playful urgency. After many years he is still not accustomed to the dreamlike reality he has become a central part of. Hands still moist with sweat like the mist of a light rain as the subtle feeling of anxiety has never fully left. Walking with an entourage of security he passed by a seemingly endless sea of screaming fans. "We love you!" They yelled at the top of their lungs just hoping to get a split second of his attention. The slightest eye contact would be enough to last a lifetime. A somewhat humble man in light of his success he would always stop and shake a few hands to acknowledge his appreciation for without them none of this would exist. Often someone would faint as he extended his arm and this day was no different. He liked to pick out the quiet ones he knew were too shy to reach out for him. As he stepped close to the target of his attention they young woman passed out as if he hit her with the full force of his might. Something about this never felt right although his ego soaked itself in the pleasurable high of his overwhelming significance.
   She took one last glance in the mirror hoping to see something more pleasing than what she was accustomed to after spending a considerable amount getting her hair done. She took a couple of hours putting the finishing touches on her makeup after carefully selecting her finest outfit for the concert. It is not that she is an unattractive young lady but you would be hard pressed trying to convince her that. Her father being a strict disciplinarian and temperamental alcoholic was never one for giving her compliments. Her mother suffering from low self esteem accepted her fathers abuse and unconsciously passed on her lack of self worth to her quiet yet beautiful daughter. Always feeling empty within she sought to decorate her appearance yet it never filled the void inside. Very intelligent and an excellent writer she learned early on that society didn't give any gold stars to encourage her nerdy capabilities. Surrounded by the objects of her admiration posters of her favorite singers, movie stars and public figures adorned her walls. She would fall asleep staring at their pictures imagining herself in their place. Tonight however was special for she was preparing to see her favorite artist perform. She saved up for months to attend with her best friends who acquired front row tickets to what they considered to be an opportunity of a lifetime. After their arrival they waited in utter excitement for about 45 minutes laughing about her crush on the center of attention for the evening. Her best friend said I"I'm gonna scream until he comes over here and tell him how much you love him." She responded under her breath with a faint "No don't do that." secretly hoping that her friend would carry through with her plan. As he approached she nervously began to smile and tear simultaneously overwhelmed by the excitement. She hid partially behind her friend wanting to be both noticed and ignored. Her friend made good on her promise whom he overlooked to make eye contact and reach toward the girl who succumbed to her nervous excitement passing out in her friends arms.
   We have all either experienced directly or observed the fanaticism caused by the exploitation of the celebrity image. This has become living idolatry at its finest. The irony is that we are worshipping the inherent qualities we all possess embodied in a handful of individuals. Not that one should not be appreciated and credited for their hard work and talent but at what price. For years this has occurred at the high cost of collective self esteem. The majority psychologically conditioned  to be considered inferior by others and most importantly themselves. Their is certainly an intentional plan to promote the significance of entertainment above all else. This becomes obvious when you notice the wide disparity between the average NBA players salary of $5 million and the presidents salary of $400,000. How are the teachers of our children considered less important than those who entertain them. A healthy civilization must place a great emphasis on the artist, inventor, educator, farmer, scientist, healer as well as the entertainer. We must take a serious look at the message we are sending our children when there seems to be more of an incentive to play sports and sing songs than there is to own a business and be educated.  As a result of carefully selecting a few individuals for the majority to worship the already lowered self esteem of the majority takes an even greater hit. To make matters worse we are not told that these celebrities are not even required to possess talent and now everyone is jumping on the reality TV bandwagon to be noticed. The floodgates of insecurity have been opened to exploit the average persons desire for fame and notoriety. Most don't even want to be the celebrity now to be appreciated for their natural ability. They want the attention and the material wealth they are falsely told that comes with the position. The irony of this is that everyone is important and by chasing after another shooting star we miss the one within us. We all were given a purpose as well as a variety of individual gifts, skills and talents to pursue our goals and achieve our own concept of success. Heaven has many doors in which we may enter our inner paradise yet we are told there is only one way in with the same blind men guarding its gates. As a result there is a long line of people ready to give up their very souls to be used as a puppet figure dressed in a glamourous disguise used as bait to attract others willing to do the same.
    We are all stars shining in our own space. No one shines with the same intensity or duration yet we all are beings of divine light. Our very form is a condensed body of light since we first arrived on a ray of sunlight. Our very bodies are composed of the carbon, nitrogen and oxygen atoms that form the stars we admire in the night sky.  From every atom in our body to all life on earth we are the living remains of cosmic bodies of light. In fact we are not only stars but a microcosm of the very universe we are a part of.  Let this truth resonate within your spirit and rebuild the value and appreciation for who you truly are.  A celebrity is one who deserves to be celebrated for their achievements first within their own development and then their positive impact upon humanity. A celebration is meant to commemorate a significant event. As we are constantly expanding we are an ongoing event appearing to be a still form. So do not allow yourself to be celebri-teased by the false idol who appears to have what you do not. Instead discover the boundless treasure within you and as your self worth increases so will the intensity of your light. Everybody is a star you just didn't know you are. Now you know it's right on time to show the world how bright you shine.
