RAY'S REPORTS

Acknowledge the contrast. Sometimes we are only looking at the the bad stuff, and sometimes we are only looking at the good stuff. Let’s look at everything at once and notice how the bad stuff steers us to the good stuff.

We can then appreciate the bad stuff. That appreciation is acceptance of the shadow side, also known as shadow work. That appreciation is expansion. That appreciation is moving out of duality and into unity.

Once we are unified internally as individuals, then we can start the work of being unified externally as a society and culture. Once we learn proper service to self, we can learn proper service to others.

If you have expectations, reset them. Not saying aim lower, I’m saying aim higher. And figure out what it means to have aim. The target is a location in a certain time and certain space. The destination must align mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. The destination must also be a place of health, wealth, love, and purpose. When the destination is clear, the map will appear. The map is the goal. The way is the goal.

What a time to be alive. This virus got us cooped up and it’s hard to stay distracted. But I think that’s the thing, maybe we’re not supposed to be distracted.

I would say “stay positive” but I know it’s not easy. Easy to be worried and anxious and lots to complain about right now.

We can try to be grateful though, we can try to confirm the good things in our lives. We can confirm our friends and family, our creativity, and our purpose.

I like this idea of confirming and confirmation because it’s factual. It’s fact finding. It’s not a guess or a weak signal.

“I have food and water and internet,” as opposed to, “I have no money,” I am not saying to ignore responsibilities, I am saying we gotta work with what we got.

“Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself. ” – Rumi

Create the creations. Create the universe. Prosper.

Frequency precedes reality. Influence frequency, influence reality. Create frequency, create reality.

Take inventory, release the sand bags.

I’m not exactly sure but I think we are around the 3rd week of quarantine here in LA. I always have stuff to work on and even gave myself a bunch of projects in the last week or so. But the past few days I’m bored. I can’t seem to focus on anything work, art, books, movies, etc.

It’s impatience.

I think we can help cure impatience with acceptance. We have to accept that we are stuck in quarantine for at least another month or 2. We have to accept that after the virus, the economy is next in line to do damage. We have to accept that life as we know it may have just changed forever. We have to accept that people around us each have their own ways of dealing with change.

I think though that through acceptance comes appreciation for potentiality.

Last week, I wanted to distract myself with projects, “getting” the most out of time.

This week, accepting reality as it is and appreciating what could be, thus “giving” the most to time.

Very subtle and microscopic shift but noticeable.

“If you are irritated by every rub, how will you be polished?” – Rumi

You know that animals sense fear guess what humans do too. Some humans prey on fear. So, we have become masters at hiding our fears by burying them deep within. We build electrified fences and thick walls around them, complete with barbed wire and armed guards and pitbulls and sharks. We have been practicing this our whole lives.

We think we are building these boundaries for self-preservation but what we are really building is a storage unit, holding these fears as hostages.

I am proposing that we storm this fortress and rescue the hostages. I think these crazy times are calling for it. We no longer have use for this system. It is no longer needed for survival.

We are now smart enough and brave enough and being asked and even required to face our fears. Yet the simple awareness and acknowledgment of these fears will set them free.

Let’s become masters of digging up what we once buried, re-mastering these fears and letting them go.
