For Whom the Bell Tolls

No man is an island,
Entire of itself.
Each is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less.
As well as if a promontory were.
As well as if a manner of thine own
Or of thine friend's were.
Each man's death diminishes me,
For I am involved in mankind.
Therefore, send not to know
For whom the bell tolls,
It tolls for thee.

Words Matter. Hate Matters.

Hey everybody, Its Reggie. I would like to thank the few who stumble on to the blog find it in your heart to look, and maybe leave a comment or two. Thank You. The video below was created by my brother Ed. If I may preface this video by saying some of us might have been taught that "sticks and stones may break our bones but names will never harm you". That is not always the case. Words reduce reality to something that the human mind can grasp. Some of the word (thoughts) are and have there own beauty and some are meant to label others for the greater good of the ego, all the fears and anxiety that is contained in them. Word carry a beauty of their own but we don't need to become imprisoned in them.

Eat, Pray, Love

Hey everybody. Its Reggie. The title of the book I just finished. Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert Is great! It boasts a woman search for everything as she travels across Italy, India and Indonesia. Elizabeth Gilbert in her early thirties had everything you would expect in this modern era. successful career traveling the world, husband, and a beautiful home with a country setting. but instead of feeling happy and fulfilled, she felt consumed by panic and confusion. It is the story how she left behind these outward markings, and of what she found in their place. This book has some serious stuff in it for you. For me all the bells and whistles went off. That's just what I'm trying to do, find myself. seeking purpose! This book is a great way to begin the process of self actualization. A way to get your feet wet without being a hard to understand self help text. I highly recommend this as a way to break into spirituality. It is filled with many "Ah Ha" moments. I was compelled to pick it up and I couldn't put it down. This was surly the fasted and most enjoyable read to date. As I read the text discovering nuggets of knowledge in between the written lines. Affirmations that I seen in Gilbert's work. I wrote these jewels of inspiration on post-it notes and hung them were I could read. This novel for me was another step to becoming closer to transcendence.

Just a thought IV (Awaking to the Oneness)

Hey everybody, Its Reggie. Awaking to the oneness that is within all of us is one of the greatest mysteries. In the past this exercise of enlightenment was reserved for a select few (The Secret). To ponder all of life's mysteries was a privilege. To escape the reality of the normal life and seek deeper answers from our universe. This is a beautiful time to be alive. With a wave of curious seekers more people are waking to to the idea of questioning our social, political, and religious dogma. Opening our minds to the ideologies and filling the empty space with a new found awareness. A transcendence of our own consciousness. We are living in a transformative time and those who don't awaken from their dream will die. Fear, greed and the desire for power are the psychological motivating forces not only behind warfare and violence between nations, tribes, religions and ideologies, but also the cause of incessant conflict in personal relationships. They bring about a distortion in your perception of other people and yourself. Through them, you misinterpret every situation, leading to misguided action designed to rid you of fear and satisfy your need for more. A bottomless hole that can never be filled.

Reggie

World Water Day

Hey everybody, Its Reggie. As I have opened to becoming more aware. I feel I became part of a larger source, (field of intention) not so wrapped up in my egoic mind. That my day to day existence is not the only important thing to focus all my attention on. Or focusing on the happenings of some celebrity photo hound who has again flashed her good for the paparazzi. Before you get all caught up in your weekend activities, stop for a minute, be in the minute get the bigger picture. Be in gratitude that you can freely enjoy that Poland Spring, Fiji, Deer Park, or just the plain old tap. The fact that we can turn on the faucet and magically your thirst is quenched.That is truly a miracle to behold. World Water Day, occurs each year on March 22nd, as designated by the United Nations General Assembly. This day was first proposed in 1992 and has grown significantly ever since. The UN invites its member nations to devote this day to implementing UN recommendations and promoting concrete activities within their countries. to bring awareness to this global crisis. During the week of World Water Day participating agencies will highlight issues such as:

• More than a billion people worldwide are without safe drinking water.
• Water related diseases are the leading cause of death in the world.
• 40 billion hours are lost annually to hauling water, a chore primarily undertaken by women and girls.
  
• Every 15 seconds a child dies from a preventable, water-related disease.

Marianne Williamson U.S. Dept of PEACE?

Hey everybody! Its Reggie. So what is the Department of Peace? The Department of Peace and Non-violence is a proposed cabinet-level department of the executive branch of the U.S. government. The original idea of a Peace Department in the United States dates back to the administration of George Washington, but has been most recently reinitiated by Rep. Dennis Kucinich's presidential campaign platform in 2004 and 2008. The Peace Alliance organization supports the creation of a U.S. Department of Peace and Non-violence. It is an independent political movement that operates autonomously. The ongoing movement is supported by Kucinich and the author and popular motivational speaker Marianne Williamson. This movement actively lobbies for the endorsements of congressional leaders. If you would like to know more about the Department of Peace. Maybe you would like to get involved in this Worldly endeavor, and maybe forge a new conversation with new hope. for something better might be waiting for whom ever is there to receive it.

What Is A Journey?

Hey everybody, Its Reggie. I was watching some late night TV and caught this commercial. It was filled with cheesy images of female models in remote place in the world. That part wasn't as interesting as the text that appeared fading in and out with each new background. Every line uncovering a piece of the revel. I recently encountered a situation with my Lower Self and this came just in time. So here it is. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.

Peace,

A journey is not a trip.
Its not a vacation.
Its a process. A discovery.
Its a process of self-discovery.
A journey brings us face to face.
A journey shows us not only the world,
but how we fit in it.
Does the person create the journey,
or does the journey create the person?
The journey is life itself.
Where will life take you?

Tales from the coffee shop

Hey everybody, Its Reggie. lam compelled to tell you this just as it happened just a few minutes ago. I started my day just like any other giving thanks, for waking to a new day and being in a state of gratitude. Glancing at my vision board to re-enforce my connection to the universal source of intention, and out the door I went. Having a good cup of coffee was the only thing on my mind; and I could taste it in all its goodness, as I pull up to my usual morning coffee spot. As I sat parked there, a felling came over me. I didn't feel bad. I just felt different. At that moment I couldn't place my finger on the source. Something fimilar but not yet part of my "experience machine". I was debating going to a newly open Starbucks just a few blocks away, that I have seen earlier in the week. My plan was to read for a few hours and this new place that looked quite and maybe would have less distraction. So I continued to the other location. I pulled up to the "Starbucks 2" and parked again, sat in my car and that same feeling came over me. I Decided to return to the Starbucks I always patronize. Thinking about what just transpired over the last 30min or so. Saying to myself "how hard is it to get a cup of coffee" and thinking what an I not doing to not manifest a cup of coffee. I finely settle into my favorite seat next to the "fix in" table thats what I call the counter at this very popular chain of Barista jockeys. I was there maybe for just a few minutes before I hear a conversation between two woman; mother and daughter I think. The daughter in her 20's is saying to her mother "He called me yesterday, he watched this show the secret or something You know the secret, and he believes theres this woman who can cure people with an illnesses like Aids. Huh? I don't know what I going to do with him, I cant be bothered with that "!@#$%". I told him don't you think thats giving people false hope", how. Without thought I was compelled to say outloud "Give it a try, You too can work miracles". Now these two woman looked at me like I had two heads. First I was evesdropping on there conversation and than had the nerve to blert out some wierd mumbo-jumbo that was to instantly enlighten them. It took me a second to relize what I just did. I froze. Our eyes locked onto each others, and the only thing left to do was smile. thats when she lowered her eyes and and seamed to glow in what seemed to be a timeless moment you can feel a different person from the one you just experienced and in that infinite moment she said, "OK I WILL" And thats when I realized she got it. What do you think about that?

Peace,
Reggie

Think I've missed my calling

Hey everybody, Its Reggie. You know in the beginning all we wanted form our jobs, was money; now we want meaning. Looking for work that is more in keeping with the goals and values we have set for our life. I say thats living on/with Purpose. The truth is most of us are engaged in a life long search for, and journey toward, meaning. How many times have you heard someone say "I think I missed my calling". And how many of those people ever do anything about it? Finding meaning and looking for our mission in life is a process in which a "life change" is necessary. And while we don't know what that is, we do know for sure what were presently doing isn't it. Reach deep inside to your core and feel the peace within you, touch this place and you will know what to do.

Peace,
Reggie

What A Wonderful World It Is (repost)

Hey everybody, Its Reggie. I know I haven't been doing this to long, but I had to go back and read some of my posts. I had promised myself I wouldn't go back and read or edit any of my posts, but I did. I like this post, so here it is again:

Hey everybody, Its Reggie. You never know how your life will turn. Change is inevitable and will happen no matter how much you fight it. The good thing about our brain is as much we resist the change over time you find yourself getting used to the "new way" and everything is fine again. Of course until change comes around again. Here's a thought why not anticipate change welcome it in your life and not fear it. Embrace it sooner rather than later so you can get back to that comfortable zone in your life. "What a wonderful world it is".

Peace,
Reggie

Just a thought II

Hey everybody, Its Reggie. Everything coming from source is on purpose. Everything has a vibratory frequency, tune in to Gods frequency and you will know it beyond all doubt. The energy which creates worlds and universes is within you. It is my intention to live in a stress free tranquil life. There is nothing natural living with despair and anxiety. Stress is a desire of the ego.

LET GO AND LET GOD!
Peace,
Reggie
