The last lines of the second episode of Dexter, a television series about a serial killer who kills serial killers and may seem decidedly un-yogic, were however profound. As Dexter lies in a bath with his eyes open just under the surface of the water, “There are no secrets, just hidden truths that lie just below the surface.” I couldn’t help but be struck in awe by that statement and the exploitation of good and evil this series explores that lies within every human.
The show inspired me to reflect on something I recently read about our subconscious minds. From the age of birth to about five-years-old, having not developed a mechanism yet to filter out any unwanted material, our subconscious minds absorb everything we are exposed to, every negative and positive comment is filed into folders for further use, every good and bad memory, every lie and truth. And as we grow, our subconscious minds give us advice and guide us in our lives based on the material it has stored. Finding out what lies beneath the surface of our minds is of utmost importance.
Sometimes we have no idea why we think things or behave a certain way or respond to external stimuli in one way, when we might have just as well responded with a simple smile. Evidently, according to recent scientific evidence, we are operating 90% of the time from information supplied by our subconscious minds, another reason to know exactly what lies below the surface.
Discovery is most likely why many people go to therapy to face the music that plays over and over literally directing their lives. But the real question is how do we rid our subconscious mind of these old outdated files - “You’re too fat. You’ll never amount to anything. Rich people are greedy.” in order to make room for new empowering programs that can enhance our lives. And in the grand scheme of things as we affect the world around us, is it possible for this positive programming to eventually penetrate the subconscious of all of humanity, there by creating a more peaceful and harmonious world?
Thankfully, the answer to that question is yes. By us creating a more peaceful less violent (negative thought) world within ourselves, we are creating a better world. When everyone we touch through word or deed is enriched by our presence, we are also helping others to attain their own enlightenment.
On the subject of enlightenment, I recently began going to SGI, Soka Gakkai International, meetings and chanting “Nam-myoho-renge-kyo,” a Nichiren Buddhist chant to create world peace by creating peace within and connecting to our own inner Buddha nature. What struck me about this organization was that everyone I have met who practices this form of Buddhism seems to be happy and has an inner strength. I have known about this form of Buddhism for at least twenty years when a fellow actor brought me to a neighborhood meeting. Yet I had no idea the real message behind it.
This brings up another interesting phenomenon about this form of Buddhism; when you go to a meeting people are friendly. They ask you questions and want to know you. I had not experienced this form of acceptance before on my search for a spiritual community. I had been to yoga events and chanting etc. but found that when the event was over people quietly filed out and went about their sometimes-lonely lives. And being around lots of people and still feeling alone is perhaps the worst loneliness of all.
It’s not that I am not fine alone, but nothing of great importance has ever truly been achieved by one man or woman alone. Even Nicheren had a disciple who practiced with him on his island of exile. There is always more than one, and in some cases many, who together create massive energy called synergy. Synergy means that one plus one does not always equal two. Through synergy one plus one may equal one hundred or even one thousand or much more. It is through this synergy that great change will come to the world. When a critical mass of people have found their own Buddha natures, which lies dormant below the surface, it will open the door for everyone to make the quantum leap to witness this reality.
Our world does not need to be the violent, destructive, greedy world the media, advertising and the entertainment industry feeds us every day; - turn your televisions off - it can be the world of our dreams. By envisioning a more positive world for others and ourselves in our meditations we are creating that very world we envision. I hope to see this world. I get glimpses of it all the time, and it is beautiful. And since most people are not like Dexter’s heartless victims, a peaceful world is possible. If the masses of people one day stand up and say no to the greed and the violence propagated by those who are like Dexter’s victims: politicians, heads of countries, giant machine like corporations, banks that behave like the mafia and generals ordering soldiers to torture prisoners, we can have a world of peace for everyone to enjoy.
This peace can only be derived from empowered souls, and cannot be born from outside sources. The path to inner and outer peace may not be a smooth rode; there may be some scary unexpected discoveries along the way. Yet the journey is worth it; it is worth more than all the money in the world. It is the thing that we are after when we spend all the money in the world but can never achieve. Isn’t peace of mind, the greatest gift of all?
Namaste

MEDITATION SHEDS LIGHT ON THE DARKNESS, and the ego doesn’t like it.
I'm fighting the dark side today. Thinking all kinds of crazy thoughts has made me feel inflicted and assaulted. I also have a touch of the flue. Then I believe my thoughts and my feeling sick may be a natural reaction to attempting to tame the beast known as the ego mind, you know the voice that tells you what you can and can't do, the one that is the neigh-sayer who sets limits on your abilities and desires. Any form of limited thinking really is the ego mind. And it's so important to be aware that we are not that ego mind even though it so wants us to believe we are. Any form of negative thoughts is not who we are; but they can greatly affect our happiness, our financial success, our health, our relationships with others etc.
And taming the beast is not easy. It is so cleaver that it makes us think that it is real and that the danger we want to attack is real, all the while distracting us from what is real and usually right in front of us, whether that be a potential accident, a beautiful guy or girl, a beautiful sky etc. Our ego is the monster that is constantly dragging up the past also and only exists in the past or the unknown fearful future. It cannot exist in the present. It is what takes us on all kinds of rides, "yeah, I remember when I saw that concert, yeah I remember when my ex did this or that," "so and so used to say that too." All of these illusions about the past that are now only movies on the screen of our minds exist to take us away from the life we have today; they take us away from life in general and keep us in a fantasy world where the ego can feel safe.
The Ego is a funny beast too because it likes to torment itself with remembering horrible things too; in fact it really likes that the best. It makes every object, every billboard, every movie, every conversation, every new girl friend something to compare the past too and relive the past horrors through the present. It likes to torture and torment itself. The ego's life is dependent on the energy it derives from keeping us in constant flux from pain to fear to sadness and despair or fantasizing about a past that probably never really existed. It gains energy from our despair.
I have been practicing several new forms of regular meditation, and have noticed my ego kicking and screaming in the process. It has been relatively quiet until now. Presently, it wants to shout at everyone and defend itself by attacking others. It feels attacked by others slight of words or their egos. That's another thing, different people's egos sometimes get together and talk amongst themselves. "I'll show you not to talk too much." "Oh yeah, well I'll show you; I won't talk at all. I'll sit hear and brood." Unfortunately for so many folks this has become what they feel is normal, letting their ego mind take the driver's seat and take control is normal. It may be normal, but it is a form of insanity and a dangerous game.
Ah, my ego was almost out, in fact it has made some pretty good plays in the past few days in conjunction with other people's egos. All these egos are running the world a-muck. It's easy to blame the politicians and the world for our own over active ego mind, but if we can't tame our mind, how do we expect big-headed-politicians or giant headed banks and CEOs of those banks to even begin to find their way. The healing of the world must begin with the individual and then progress to a critical mass and then like a great “Ah Ha” from billions of voices, the ego will be exposed for what it is, a parasite in our minds and in the world.
Namaste,
Here’s to kicking the ego out, and living in the vastness of our true selves.

Erasing Victim-hood
Lately, I have been confronted with people who are in a self-imposed state of what I call victim-hood. I also recently read a book about our soul's stages of development, which confirmed my perception on being a victim.
Happiness and joy can only come from inside. There were people in concentrations camps, who found joy in the smallest things in life and became inspirations to not only other prisoners but even to the guards. They knew more peace than most people living in abundance. Finding our way when the outside world seems to be falling apart is not easy. But it is essential for us to realize that we are not those outside circumstances. It is essential for us to dis-attach our emotions and our thoughts from dwelling on the outside world in order to find peace.
Sometimes people with lots of money and the biggest houses on the block are also on anti-depressants etc. And those with so much abundance, delicious food, shelter, friends, music, beautiful children are also not happy. They look in the world and try to find the ugliness, rather than looking inside for the beauty. You can only see beauty in the world when you are able to see beauty from within.
These same judgmental people look at their own bodies and find fault with everything about them. They are too fat, too skinny, their legs are too short, or too long or too thin, etc. They beat themselves up at every turn and wonder why thine eyes are only able to see a negative world. They wonder why god seems to be against them. They fail to see the lessons their soul is desperately trying to teach them.
They repeat the same lessons over and over in life and feel like their on roller coaster rides, blaming every bad business associate, bad wife or husband for their failed marriage; they blame the car company for taking their car; they blame the government for ticketing their car; they blame the economy for their depression and anger. They have made themselves into victims every time they blame anyone for their lives.
And what would the alternative be? The alternative would be for them to take responsibility for their actions and for the mistakes they made to put themselves in a place to learn these valuable lessons - over and over again for those who fail to get it the first time. And the reason we must learn the same lesson over and over is because when you blame everyone else and never take responsibility for the circumstance of your life, you can not learn from your mistakes, since your ego has created a state of denial, and you are completely unaware that you made a mistake in the first place.
If you think the world does things to you and you have no part in the this drama, you are a victim. Unlike you think, you are not an innocent one. This is eternal victim-hood, and the only escape from this self-imposed concentration camp is to look within, to find peace and become responsible for your inner peace, no matter what is happening in the world around you. To quiet the voice of the ego who seeks to blame and lives in fear of taking responsibility is the only path to building a new life and to walking away from the self-imposed depressed, angry, victim that seeks to keep you just as you are forever.
It is not my intention to suggest that certain events like acts of violence etc. are the victims fault. Circumstances that are not within our control are not necessarily our responsibility. However, how we choose to react to those circumstances is within our realm of control.
In my life, I used to have my shoes and school supplies even my toys stolen from me as a child. I would be upset for a day, then get a new pair of shoes etc. and move onto the new item. It kept happening because I kept leaving my things unattended. It was a bad habit that exacerbated my mother sometimes. I had to learn to be present.
On another occasion I was held up at gun point and robbed. My higher-self told me to leave my wallet in my car, which I did. It also told me to walk across the street when I saw a man getting out of his car on my path; I choose to follow the friend I was talking to rather than leading both of us across the street to safety. We were lucky. He took my friend's wallet and we called to cancel the cards immediately, and the police caught a guy who had stolen a car, because of us. (not the guy that had stolen the wallet however) When it was all over, I was so happy. I proclaimed to my friend, "We just won the lottery. We're still alive. This is amazing." I have had many unfortunate friends who live in a state of negativity and victim-hood who would have had a very different reaction.
I have had to learn the lesson of listening to my higher-self over and over. After avoiding the clear warnings I was given, I am certain, angels must have saved my life more than once. I have now made a commitment to myself to listen and to follow this advice. When I have a powerful feeling to stay home and go to bed early rather than appease over-controlling people who demand my time and attention, I will choose to stay home on those occasions rather than attempt to please others. For me, this was a powerful lesson, one I had to learn over and over again almost being killed several times in order to grock it.
I'm also lucky to be so fortunate to always look on the bright side of life. That being said, I know the other side, the side of wallowing in negativity and pain and blame; I've always felt that I wasn't strong enough to endure such self-torture. The point is that if I can look on the bright side, anyone can. Are there any other benefits to looking on the bright side besides being in control of your life?
One main physical and mental benefit of positive thinking is health related. Positive thinkers get sick less, they feel better, they have more energy to do creative things etc. I also firmly believe that allowing yourself to stay in a depressed state for too long a time can lead to the very chemical imbalances that create a constant state of depression, basically an ego-centered existence. Action, getting a job if you're unemployed, any job making some money just to get you out of the house and into a different state of mind, can be all you need to knock the demon of depression right out of your system. And if you're depressed because you hate your job, take a painting class or some hobby that you've dreamed off; plan a trip etc. Taking action towards your dreams will help empower you and create the opportunities for a new and better job and the life you desire.
According to the book, "You're Not Crazy, You're Just Waking Up!" by Michael Mirdad, we go through these states of development throughout our lives. When our soul or higher-self is ready for us to learn a new lesson things get shaken up in our lives. We loose jobs, relationships fade, we feel a sense of unease for a while. Things fall apart, so new things can come into our lives. We have reached a turning point. If we are aware of this process, it can make these shifts less painful and more rewarding, as we know we are moving on to new and better things, if we are willing to learn the valuable lessons from the mess that has come into our lives. If we live in denial, or take medications, or run away from the truth, we will remain in a constant state of mess or repeating mess until we learn the lesson.
Ahh, a big deep breath now. All the worlds problems are solved. Now can we all just get along?

Finding Truth
This morning I had to ask myself why my mind was holding on like a dog with a bone to a certain idea. The idea was of fixing someone elses life. I imagined conversations. I imagined inviting this person to lunch. I also imagined the unintended outcome of indignation from the other person. I had to ask myself, what about this person's situation is my mind grasping on to. What about this situation concerns and bothers me so much. What is the drama I’m trying to create in my own life?
I realized after a nice walk, listening to beautiful music and seeing smiling faces, that there is no drama. My focus is on living my life and creating the art, music, and writing that flows through me and onto the page. It was a relief to realize that I am not responsible for fixing anyone. I can only live as an example being my true self and hope that others see that as a calling to live as their own true selves.
No amounts of pleading or lecturing will ever make anyone change. And many times we can unintentionally deflate the other person’s own desire to find their way or force them unto paths that are detours. However, it is up to us and our personal and spiritual development to resist the desire to not only give advice but to follow the advice of others, whether they be news announcers, advertisements, articles, well-meaning friends and friends with hidden agendas and that goes double for family.
The only advice we should be heeding is from those who have personally walked the path we wish to walk. And the most important advice is from our higher-selves that is connected to all and knows why we have incarnated in this life at this time. This higher self speaks to us not in traditional language but through the wind and the trees and events and nature. The last chapter of a book I’m reading, Inspiration, by Wayne Dyer is about the four ways that he experiences spirit speaking to him. Feelings, nature, events, and people are all ways spirit speaks to us.
Perhaps my own resistance to finishing this book (I’d like to think that I was savoring every word) is directly related to my ego grasping onto someone else’s drama and trying to make it my own. Now, I’m asking my ego the question. “Do we not have enough drama of our own?” And the voice which has become quiet tries to mutter, “but, this is our drama, but.” And now it sulks off like a reprimanded child. I know it will be back; and it is my job to be ready.
Namaste,
Callie

The Wisdom of Ruben
Since my car is wobbling on 3 wheels and one donut, and the driver's side door is falling apart and completely inoperable ( I have to crawl through the back door to the front) and the nice roadside assistance man who changed my tire told me my shocks are shot, I am finding the zen in my car woes.
After filling Rubin, my mechanic, in on the events of my life the last year, he told me, "Callie, jou know what jou need to do, get these people out of your life, they no good." I replied, "Yeah, I have to just let go of all the bad people." He then gave me a look of disapproval that I understood. I immediately rephrased what I had said, "They are not bad, just not good for me. I can wish them well and let them go out of my life." He said "Yeah, that's more like it. They not bad. You can't have everyone in your life, sometimes you let them go, and maybe they come back, maybe not."
This reminded me of a yogic mantra I learned in my teacher training. "I love what comes, and I love what goes."
This taught me to let go of jobs, people, cloths etc., things that no longer fit into my growing life any more. By doing this I made room for new wonderful fitting people, jobs, and things. This may sound harsh, but when people drag you down it's a sign that you are not good for them either. You're doing you both a favor by letting them go.
There will always be the keepers you have in your life forever. And you know who they are.

Every Breath is Good
Sometimes being thankful for the little things in life seems so far fetched. When your car is broken and cost $6,000 for past due payments and to pay the mechanic to get it out of the garage like what has happened to my friend, or when your mechanic tells you "I won't touch it," like what happened to another friend, or just when your tire is flat as mine was this morning, it's good to remember that every breath is good.
