If you were to step into my office and or grab my Kindle and thumb through the enormous collection of books being read or have been read you’d label my walk shapeless and out of place.  I don’t put my nose to paper inside a drama driven novel or anything that carries the scent of mystery.  In fact I don’t read at all!  I study!  Again and again.  I could be 250 pages in and instantly go back to chapter two.  They are books of spirituality, motivation, inspiration and meditation.  From Christianity to Shamanism to Buddhism, Hinduism, Native America spirituality and Animal Speak.  Hell I still believe Julia Cameron’s Artist Way series is the most powerful vision quest on the planet.  On this podcast episode we discover a new language that will bring benefit to all things presently invited to the path.  Subconscious Power!  (Place dramatic music here)  In all things lived and will be lived the mind body and soul are constantly given information about the journey of growth.  So often in my studies I find strength in laying it on the line, “Lord! Dude in the universe.  Speak to my street in a language that can be simplified and delivered.”  You know how these so called life lifting and changing books can be.  They use words and thoughts that make the situation bigger than the moment.  Trying reading a book about using the strength and knowledge of Yoga Nidra.  Oh my God!  Half way through the page and you start over.  Then you start again and again.  Each of these methods of study take the path its own direction but only so far.  I look at it like my grandson plays video games.  The cartoon figures are always collecting things.  Carlos says, “It gives them power.”  Oh really?  That’s how I’ve always felt about being connected with the higher power and or universe.  I draw no lines in the sand while still knowing where I stand.  So… I’ve been called to Subconscious Power.  Kimberly Friedmutter teaches the walker in a way that goes against my hardcore meditation studies.  She says “Meditation pulls inward.  Strengthening your subconscious skills requires the physical act of pushing out.”  Look!  I’m just a beginner at this but will soon master it like I have with martial arts and writing daily.  We’ve all been planted in a place in history where everything around us has changed or is about to never be the same.  No matter who’s elected and if a vaccine for Covid will ever be found, our greatest gift is the ability to make a choice.  And that place on your path will either make you a leader or a follower.  The portrait of the helm has changed over the past seven months.  The landscape of the workplace looks more like Gene Simmons wearing paint rather than truly knowing the man.  We have to prepare for the opposite side of doubt.  The opposite side of building fear, depression and disconnection.  I am strong in my religious beliefs while knowing the spiritual walk has to be even bigger.  A new world has come without our permission.  No matter how hard you want to fight or scream.  You’re a mustard seed.  Activating the lessons you’ve already learned needs leadership.  Swing your head to the left.  Swing it to the right.  Turn your head around.  Where’s your leader.  Go look in the mirror.
