how to pick a mood.
remember when you felt that way before.
see what you saw.
hear what you heard.
smell what you smelled.
taste what you tasted.
feel what you felt.
when you realise that you can do these things in your mind while you sit comfortably reflecting back to a pleasant memory, you begin to feel the way you did when you first experienced that wonderful memory now.
the longer you involve yourself in this process the more of the sensations emerge and effect how you are as you sit thinking back to that first time...........
and you can imagine what you saw becoming more vivid.
and the smells become more insistant.
and the sounds more intense. amplified.
and as these things grow in your mind you notice your mood changing.
and you are doing it.
do it more.
let the sensations wash over you.
how do you feel now?
will you remember to practice this and choose good feelings for no reason at all.
except that your whole life will change.
just a small thing.

the core of the unconditional.......
...........is choosing good feelings, for no reason.
irrational happiness.
it seems odd at first and most struggle with the concept.
old programming.
until you realise that you are choosing to feel the way you do anyway.
"fuck off " you say. "nobody chooses to feel anything, we are reacting to objective reality that makes us feel good or bad."
well, not really.
we edit, delete and distort our reality on an on-going basis.
we base these processes on pre-concieved ideas about the way things are.
i have been told things about me recently that are subjective characterisations that i choose to accept or reject according to my beliefs .
i am an arrogant asshole apparently.
i beg to differ, but that`s not going to change thier opinion.
anyhow.
we choose to feel the way we do.
once you realise you are doing it in a masterful way....then you can pick your mood.
which one would you prefer?

oh yeah.........
............and about the breathing in and slowly letting it out again............
realise how many times you tried hard to not breathe out.
and that`s impossible.

more on unconditional.
it means more than "love"
it means.......don`t hurt others.
it means......mind your own business.
it means......do what you can.
it means......if you lose the ball, go get it back.
it means......smile.
it means.......let it go.
it means.......guns don`t kill people, people kill people.
it means......include yourself.
it means......love yourself first.
it means......love yourself first, because if you don`t, nobody else will.
it means......no conditions.
no apologies.
it means.....have faith in loyalty, trust and abundance of the spirit.
or you can just go back to the way it was.

unconditional........
means without conditions.
no thinking involved.
just breathing in and then eventually out once again.
nothing else matters........
unless you want conditions.
then there are never enough to satisfy.
go ahead.
try and figure out if you have made sure everything is safe enough.
buy some insurance.
wear a helmet.
lock the door.
check it again.
tick, tick, tick........

colour.
traditionally i have not liked the colours pink and black in combination, i have found the combination to be drab somehow, but today i had my opinion changed forever by a rather pleasant experience that will remain undiscussed here.
however the idea of colour as a stimulus has got me thinking of how we react to colour and how it effects our mood.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_psychology
there is a vast field of study into colour psychology and what has emerged is how colours can promote specific behaviour in people.
pink, for instance, has a calming effect whereas blue has the effect of making weightlifters stronger.
and i now know what pink and black in a certain situation does to me............

.......and lifting up the edge.
to see what`s underneath.
so what is underneath?
and what is the surface that we exist on?
we use the words that create our reality so casually and yet when asked to answer simple questions about the thing we have created we seem almost confused...........
interesting.

and who is more of a threat to society?

communication.
the true meaning of communication is in the response you get.
it`s not what you are saying but what others are hearing.......
or seeing.
so watch how others react to things and act accordingly.

real love.
my thanks to bill for this cartoon illustrating the typical foolishness of the male (and female...) of the species in thier quest for love.
guys, and girls, it doesn`t exist outside of yourself.
if you need someone else to "complete" you then shoot yourself now and save the pain later.
i love the face on the guy on the right in the final frame of the cartoon.
if you can see yourself in that expression and find yourself laughing then the healing is well on it`s way.

horoscopes.
so what sign are you?
jlee posted a bit about horoscopes yesterday just as i was thinking about how it is interesting that certain signs seem to just get along, whereas others just want to bash heads.
the universe kept sending me aries people.
i can`t thank it for that.
the scorpio`s patience is only a waiting to kill after all.
