MODERN MYTH MESSAGES: The DAREDEVIl...!

Matt Murdock (The Daredevil) is having a heartfelt talk with a nun who he has discovered is his birthmother. They are reminiscing the life of the church's former head Pastor who was slain in cold blood in the basement of an old Catholic Church in Hell's Kitchen.

MATT: I was angry.  I would change that if I could.

SISTER MAGGIE: If God allowed that, there would be no future. Just people endlessly rewriting the past.

MATT: Yeah. I think he was trying to tell me that for a long time. His last words were, "Forgive us."
(forgive them for keeping the secret to who his birthmother really was)

SISTER MAGGIE: Do you think that's possible?

MATT: (Several contemplative beats) He told me something years ago when this happened that I never forgot.  (pointing to the sunglasses he wears to protect his blind eyes) You see I was pretty angry at God and bitter toward his world. How could a loving God blind me. Why?! Anyway, he told me, God's plan is like a beautiful tapestry. And the tragedy of being human is that we only get to see it from the back. With all the ragged threads and the muddy colors. We only get a hint of the true beauty that would be revealed if we could see the whole pattern on the other side. As God does. 
(Looks down at the ground as if to summon his own TRUTH)

MATT: And although people have died on my watch. People who shouldn't have. There are countless others who have lived. So, maybe it is all a part of God's plan. 

FROM MARVEL TV: THE DAREDEVIL 


Matt Murdock (The Daredevil) is a haunted SOUL. As a young boy, while trying to save a man from being hit by a car, his eyes were exposed to a canister of toxic liquid the causes him to lose his eyesight. Then his father was gunned down for refusing to "take a fall" in a boxing match with tons of hush money on the proverbial line. Matt ended up being raised by a group of caring nuns in a Catholic orphanage in Hell's Kitchen. And it was within those hallowed halls that his own Superhero's Journey began!

His journey reminds us that everything happens "through you and for you." NOT TO YOU! See the big difference. I surely pray so because the shades within that subtle shift in understanding is one of just a handful of the greatest TRUTHS you will re-discover while on your path in this Earthly plane!

And once you re-member how to leverage that know-ledge, your life will suddenly both ascend and then settle into a space of inner peace. For no longer will you wake up daily fretting "what could go wrong today."  In fact, you will re-member that "right and wrong" do not even exist! Only that which does and does not serve you and all others. And you will begin to embrace everything that appears within your daily experiences as no thing less than a SOUL sent blessing from your own personal "Wisdom Waiter!" 

Think of life as a precious, multi layered Jigsaw Puzzle. We often start working on one particular area of the puzzle at any given period in time. Just as we are getting our perfectly imperfect "Jigsaw Jam" on, WHAM, God sends us a piece that is for the complete opposite side of where we were focusing our efforts! And more often than not become stubborn and resolute in the way WE think things in our lives should play out. So staying stuck in our own personal convictions, continuing to build out the puzzle from where we have started it become our nominal norm.

And so we tend to ignore the puzzle piece sent special delivery from The Grand Creator herSELF. "I've been working my tushie off on this puzzle God! I'm confused. Why are you sending me a piece that goes way over on the opposite side of where I'm building all my magical momentum?" So you inner monologue espouses.

But you have to re-member that THE ONE GOD MIND can see "the whole puzzle" already perfectly and pristinely finished in its glorious form! We tend to see things from a more limited perspective as we live out our daily experiences. Hopefully, now you can see the prescient power in learning to take a DEEP breathe and just RELAX! And then take a few steps back from wherever you currently find yourSELF to BE. Each step will allow you to BE in a space of appreciation and GRATITUDE for the "entire picture" that your jigsaw puzzle is slowly becoming! Just as THE GOD VOICE within you has seen it from the very beginning. Pretty rad, huh?! ;0) 

And the next time God throws you a piece of your personalized puzzle from "way over there," you will already BE in a state of pure ACCEPTANCE.  And be in allowance of it to grace your world with a form of loving reverence! For it came from a place of Universal KNOWINGNESS of exactly what you need at that given moment of NOW!


SUPERHEROES IN TRAINING TAKEAWAYS:

Creating a New Super Heroic Origin Story


One thing I do with all my coaching clients is have them write a new "Super Heroic Origin Story." With the intention of assisting them in transcending their past stories from a state of catabolic, victim consciousness, into an anabolic "VICTORIOUSLY HEROIC" energetic vibrational space! I highly suggest you try this incredibly transformational process too!

Literally start from your earliest memories and begin to write down the 'New Story of Your Life.'  But refrain from seeing these events from your past perspective.  The static stories we tell ourselves about our past become the coming attractions of what is still to come.  And unless you have already done the energetic clearing work on these traumatic pain points, I really don't think you desire THAT!! Am I right?! lol

While writing, concentrate on just how any past painful experiences in your life have actually proven to be blessings rather curses.  Start learning to ACCEPT them rather than reliving them in your mind.  Acceptance frees you to transcend these catabolic and disempowering based thoughts and start seeing them in a fresh state of GRATITUDE! (Just like the Gift and Miraculous Blessing of my own father's abandonment)  In your writing, it is vital to transcend such limiting beliefs in a manner that you can actually begin to see your past challenges as no thing less than "Bliss Filled Gifts." That were soul sent as opportunities for you to heal, grow, and expand into the greatest version of yourSELF. Which benefits not only YOU, but the entire Universe!

Start 'connecting the dots' of your life.  Look for the pain filled patterns that keep showing up in your daily experiences. Continued experiences of lack in any form; yuperoo, there is a great place to start! For that is proof positive of resistance still holding space within you. That's where you are still NOT in alignment with your Super Heroic Higher Self. TRUST! This will shine a light on the areas of trauma that still need healing and tending to!  The blocks and trapped energy that is still awaiting you to release and transform it into your unique Super Powers. Once looked at through the lens of OPPORTUNITY,  the things you once thought as misfortune will be seen as perfectly placed in your path to pull you back and then "Propel You Forward!"  If you are having great challenges doing this, stop and pray. Ask SPIRIT for guidance and wisdom to see the Truth behind your pain! Then quiet your mind and listen. You will be shown the answers.  PROMISE!  

You've suffered enough!  It's time for transcendence and TRANSFORMATION!  By creating a New Super Heroic Origin Story.  Start living from a state of Christ Consciousness and NOT  "Victim Consciousness."  Because the past stories you have been programming your mind to believe, are powerful forms of RESISTANCE!  Resistance is the arch enemy of the Subconscious Mind.  The Powerhouse of our "Abundance Making MIND Machine!" And that is part of what is still blocking you from being able to manifest all your heartfelt desires.......

So look around you often.  Re-member your outer experiences are a direct reflection of your inner reality. So if you find yourSELF in a space of lack; be it financially, health wise, or in any other form, it is "proof in the pudding" that you have some blocks, limiting beliefs, or pain points that still need to be addressed with non judgmental love and compassion.  For there is resistance somewhere within you that requires your immediate attention!  Just sayin'. ;0)

Commit to using the rest of this year to both create and live from your "New State of KNOWINGNESS!" And just like "The Daredevil," begin to see with eyes no longer blind to the TRUTH!

Because if you knew just how POWERFUL you truly are, there is absolutely NOTHING you would be afraid of!!  Even this current, horrific pandemic causing the great majority of us scouring for a single corner of safety! Because we would, in time, re-member that everything happens FOR US, and not TO US! And such truth would shake us to the core! All to assist us in combating the EGOIC nature of individual pleasures that usurp the need and necessities of the greater good!

And dreaming BIG for the highest good of all concerned would be your new mantra.........  And So It Is!

BE SUPER HEROIC!

THE UNEDITED EULOGY OF REV. AL SHARPTON FOR GEORGE FLOYD..!

For those of you in the New Age Nerd community who did not (or have yet) had the privilege to hear the entire - unedited speech/eulogy of Reverend Al Sharpton on behalf of the memory of Mr. George Floyd, please read and re-member these words as they were shared with the entire WORLD! May they continue to be the calling card for the Collective Consciousness of a brand new day! A space in which LOVE and EQUALITY become the base line calling cards for the entire Universe! In which we use our power of FAITH and KNOWINGNESS to build a Spiritual Tome under which all future generations are proud to call their HOME! 



"Thank You!"

"I want us, to not sit here, and act like we had a funeral on the schedule. George Floyd, should not be amongst the deceased. He did not die of common health conditions. He died of a common American criminal justice malfunction. He died because there has not been the corrective behavior, that if you commit a crime, it does not matter whether you wear blue jeans or a blue uniform, you must pay for the crime that you did commit. So it is not a normal funeral. It is not a normal circumstance. But it is too common. And we need to deal with it. Let me ask you that, in the tradition of eulogies, need a scripture reference, go to
Ecclesiastes 3:11 He has made everything appropriate in its time.:

To everything there is a time, and a purpose, and a season under the Heavens. I'm going to leave it there.

I saw somebody standing in front of a church the other day which had been boarded up as a result of violence. (referring to President Donald Trump's impromptu photo-op in which he held up a Bible in front of the ........  church after ordering police troops to 'rid Lafayette Square in downtown D.C. of peaceful protesters)  He held the bible in his hands. I've been preaching since I was a little boy, I've never seen anyone hold a bible like that, but I will leave that one alone. But since he held the bible, if he is watching us today, I would like for him to open that bible.  (APPLAUSE!) And I'd like him to read Eclesistaes Three:

'To every season there is a time and a purpose, and I think that it is our job to let the world know when we see what is going on in the streets of this country, and in Europe around the World, that we need to know what time it is! First of all, we cannot use bibles as a prop. And for those that have agendas that are not about justice, this family will not let you use George as a prop! (APPLAUSE!) 

If you want to get your stuff off, don't use him. Let us stand for what is right. Because when I got the call from...... attorney Crump, and usually when he calls me, it's not to find out how I'm doing! It's usually because something happened that he wants national network and I to get involved! And he explained to me what was happening with this case. And I had already heard about it in the media. 
And....   immediately I said well let me know what you need me to do. And he said, "Whatever you need to do!"

One of the things Martin, that I've always had to deal with is the critics saying, "All Al Sharpton wants is publicity!" 'Well that's exactly what I want. Cause nobody calls me to keep a secret.' (YES....AMEN!)  People call me to blow up issues that nobody else will deal with! I'm the blow up man and I don't apologize for that! Cause you get away.... too much with hiding things. (Your family talked about you all putting clothes on the oven) to have.... your clothes dried. Well, I didn't grow up in the 3rd world, but I grew up in the 3rd ward, and I grew up in Brownsville and we had roaches. Now I know that Kevin Hart and some of the rich Hollywood folks here don't know what roaches are! (LAUGHTER!) We had roaches! (looking toward famous rapper Ludicrous!) One thing I found out about roaches is that if you keep the light off, if you are in the dark, a roach will pull up to your dinner table and have a five coarse meal! (YES! .....laughter!) 

So I learned, one of the ways to deal with roaches is if you cut the light on, I could run them roaches and track them down! And I have spent all my life chasing roaches all around this country...   (APPLAUSE!!......)

As soon as I talked to the family and got the details, and heard that.... among George's last words were, "I can't breathe," with a knee on his neck. I immediately thought about Eric Gardner, cause I did the eulogy at his funeral. And I called his mother, and I said, 'I know we're not going out because of the Coronavirus, but this is so much like Eric. If we could arrange some private way.... to go to Minneapolis, would you go?' And she said, 'Reverend Al, I'm already packing! Let me know!'

Tyler Perry (African American Hollywood mogul) said, "I'll give the family the plane! Whatever you'll need. 'Cause this is wrong!"

Robert Smith said, "Don't worry about the funeral costs!"

People across economic and racial lines started calling and getting in! And we flew out here, her and I last Thursday. And when I stood at that spot.... (where he died) The reason it got to me is that George Floyd's story has been the story of black folks! Because ever since four hundred and one years ago, the reason we could never be who we wanted and dreamed of being is because you kept your knee on our necks! (YES!!  APPLAUSE!! TRUTH!!)

We were smarter than the underfunded schools you put us in, but you had your knee on our necks! 
We could run corporations and not hustle in the street, but you had your knee on our neck! 

We had creative skills. We could do whatever anybody else could do. But we couldn't get your knee off our neck! What happened to Floyd happens every day in this country; in education and health services and in every area of American life! And it's time for us to stand up in George's name and say, 'Get your knee off our necks!'

"That's the problem no matter who you are. We thought maybe we had a complex... (toward famous rapper T.I.  in the audience) maybe it was just us. But even blacks who had broke through. You kept that knee on our neck. Michael Jordan won all of these championships and you kept digging for mess, cause you got to keep a knee on our neck! White housewives would run home to see a black woman on TV named Oprah Winfrey, and you'd mess with her 'cause you just can't take your knee.... off our neck! Man comes out of a single parent home, educates himself, and rises up to become the President of the United States. And you ask him for his birth certificate! Because you cannot take your knee of our neck! The reason why we are marching all over the World is because we were like George!!  We couldn't breathe! Not because there was something wrong with our lungs! But because you wouldn't take your knee off our neck! We don't want no favors! Just get up off of us! And we can be and do whatever we can be!!" (LONG STANDING OVATION!!!)

"There have been protests.... all over the world, some have... looted... and done other things. And none of us in this family condones looting or violence.  But...... the thing that I want us to be real cognizant of..  is that there is a real difference between those calling for peace and those calling for quiet!" 

"Some of you all don't want peace. You just want quiet! You just want us to shut up and suffer in silence! The overwhelming majority of the people marching..... weren't breaking windows.... they were trying to break barriers! They weren't trying to steal nothin'! They were trying to get back the justice that you stole from us! Those that broke the law, should pay for whatever law that they broke. But so should the four policeman that caused this funeral today! We don't have a problem denouncing violence, Mr. Governor. We don't have a problem Mr. Mayor, denouncing looting! But it seems like some in the criminal justice system have a problem looking at a tape and knowing there is probable cause and it takes a long time for you to go and do and see what you need to do!! (STANDING OVATION!!!)

But I am one that has been...... involved in a lot of these fights. We started around criminal justice. I have done speeches and eulogies in most of these funerals we have had in this space the last couple of decades. And.... led the marches and did what we had to do! I look at Martin Luther the 3rd, we went to jail together. Fighting these fights. Like his daddy went to jail before.  But I am more hopeful today...then ever. Why?! Well, because let me go back before, as Rev. Jesse Jackson always taught me, let me go back to my text. There is a time....and a season!

And when I looked at this time. And saw marches in which some cases young whites outnumbered the blacks marching, I know that it is a different time and a different season!
When I look and saw people in Germany marching for George Floyd, it's a different time and a different season! When they went in front of the parliament in London, England and said it's a different time and a different season, I come to tell you America....   'This is the time of dealing with accountability in the criminal justice system!"    (STANDING APPLAUSE!!)

"Stephen, years ago, I went to march. And I remember, a young white lady... looked me right in the face and said...  'Nigger, go home!.' But when I was here last Thursday, and I was headed back to the airport and I stopped.... near the police station.....and I was talking to a reporter... a young white girl...who looked no older than eleven years old, she tagged my suite jacket..and I braced myself, and she looked at me and said....... "No justice, no peace!!" (APPLAUSE........    APPLAUSE!!)

"It's a different time...... and a different season! And if my bible carrying President got in front of  that boarded up church. And if it got him to open up the bible, I want you to remember something,  I was late..... last October to an appointment because the time changed!  And I was still....my watch was on the wrong time! Now once a year the time goes forward! And if you don't move your watch, you're gonna find yourself an hour late! Not because your watch was wrong, but because you had your watch on the wrong time!" 

"Well I come to tell you that as sitting in Washington.... talking about militarism the country. Thinking you could sell wolf tickets to people who have had enough of abuse! I have come to tell you that you can get on the TV, but you are on the wrong time!  Time is out! For not holding you accountable! Time is out for you making excuses! Time is out for you trying to stall! Time is out for empty words and empty promises! Time is out for you filibustering and trying to stall the arm of justice! This is the time! We won't stop! We gonna keep going until we change the whole system of justice!"

BE SUPER HEROIC!

FEAR NOT...... PROOF You Are Here To TRANSFORM The WORLD.....!

Once you make a firm declaration to the Universe of  'Who You Now Choose To Be'....  lest you not be surprised if many of those special SPIRITS in your life start to transcend back into their own darkness (Egoic-self); away from your now eternal shown flame! I promise it has nothing to do with YOU~ And by that I mean the fractured piece of you that is a part of GOD herSELF! NO! They are simply not in the same space of their own spiritual process to receive YOU exactly as you are currently choosing to show up. 

And that is A-OK! (Why do you think Jesus the Christ taught his shrewdly chosen disciples the practice of communion?! It was all about the practice of receiving your fellow brethren EXACTY AS THEY ARE! Not to receive just HIM, but rather all those who carry the Christ Consciousness! Black, white, brown, and mixed. Catholic, protestant, Baptist, Jewish, and Hindu. Gay, straight, lesbian and transgender. Democrat, republican, independent, socialist, or libertarians. If I forgot anybody, hit me up on Instagram; under Fellow Brothas from any other Mothas)  

For one of the basic tenets to spiritual growth is the following:

Everyone deserves the dignity of their own spiritual process........
(Followed closely by the commitment of NEVER giving others unsolicited spiritual advice. Oh, don't even get me started on that one...Lordy, lord! Thank God at times you nevah gave me a sword!  LOL)

Know that this 'Spiritual Scrubbing' is a painful and immensely challenging part of the process of your own SOUL ascending back toward the space of all encompassing LOVE. 
For you have overcome the dense experience of partial spiritual 'AMNESIA' that once served you well. The space in which your EGO eternally resides. The temporal and illusionary feeling that you, and everything apart from you are separate from each other. The greatest Con-Job ever created. And the most effective! For consciously choosing to forgo an eternity of joyful cosmic frolicking to enter a realm that temporarily denies you from your own birthright is downright disorienting; harrowing, and scary as well...  HELL! ( So much as Hell even exists. Again, another story, keeping you from worry!)

Which brings us to another basic spiritual tenet: 
Re-member everything occurring on this heavenly plane of Earthy existence is happening For You.  Not TO YOU!  Big difference.......

And boy does the Good Lord, informed through the Christ Consciousness, know I am well aware of this transition. Over the past two years, I have lost most of my friends, and even some of my aqauntinces. And no doubt......   IT HAS BEEN BEYOND PAINFUL! 

Too many of my days spent asking the following non-fruitful questions: 

Is it all me?! 
What did I do?!
It must be all my fault!
Maybe I really am crazy! (Still up for discussion!  lol)
Rinse and Repeat!     lol

But then, I came to KNOW, through deep prayer and mediation, that I had been asking the wrong questions. It had nothing to do with what I was doing. And everything to do with what I was NOT doing! 

For instance, I was no longer allowing others to take my friendship for granted. 

I was NOT being a bystanderd towards any form of judgment or prejudice towards me or my fellow brethren.

I refused to condone any belief system that held me hostage from any physical, mental, or spiritual malady that had become a part of my Earthy beingness! For I re-membered that my greatest Superpowers drew their strength from the most fervent pain points I had been courageous enough to battle through! 

I was no longer participating in what I now call a '90-10' relationship! Meaning I showed up 90 percent of the time, and 'The Other' 10 percent or even less. (Not a judgment, but a declaration for sure, of how I now value my own sense of SELF!)



The Universe had always been in charge! Guiding me through these many Earthly challenges, as well as the enormous amount of pain and suffering these experiences brought into my life. All to serve my greatest good! And as a byproduct, the highest good of all earthly beings! For the true definition of a SUPERHERO is to be of service. 

The word itself was born from the greek HEROS. Meaning Two! 
That which I do for YOU, I do for mySELF! And that which I do for mySELF, I do for you. ALWAYS! It was later shortened to the singular, HERO. TO BE OF SERVICE! PERIOD! The lexicon now borrowed from the world's greatest thinkers alike. 

Such as one of my own personal Superheroes, Martin Luther King, Jr.  who wrote, in my opinion, one of the greatest speeches of all time, called 'The Drum Major Instinct.'  As we all know, the God given talent he had for using parables as a way of teaching his message were unmatched and very evident in this speech that still sends chills up my spine every time I hear or read it!  It truly speaks to the topic of living a life of SIGNIFICANCE and LOVE.....  Here is just a tiny excerpt that I hope INSPIRES all who read it......

But now the problem is, it is the drum major instinct. And you know, you see people over and over again with the drum major instinct taking them over. And they just live their lives trying to outdo the Joneses. (Amen) They got to get this coat because this particular coat is a little better and a little better-looking than Mary’s coat. And I got to drive this car because it’s something about this car that makes my car a little better than my neighbor’s car. (Amen) I know a man who used to live in a thirty-five-thousand-dollar house. And other people started building thirty-five-thousand-dollar houses, so he built a seventy-five-thousand-dollar house. And then somebody else built a seventy-five-thousand-dollar house, and he built a hundred-thousand-dollar house. And I don’t know where he’s going to end up if he’s going to live his life trying to keep up with the Joneses. LOL

There comes a time that the drum major instinct can become destructive. (Make it plain) And that’s where I want to move now. I want to move to the point of saying that if this instinct is not harnessed, it becomes a very dangerous, pernicious instinct. For instance, if it isn’t harnessed, it causes one’s personality to become distorted. I guess that’s the most damaging aspect of it: what it does to the personality. If it isn’t harnessed, you will end up day in and day out trying to deal with your ego problem by boasting. Have you ever heard people that—you know, and I’m sure you’ve met them—that really become sickening because they just sit up all the time talking about themselves. (Amen) And they just boast and boast and boast, and that’s the person who has not harnessed the drum major instinct.

And then it does other things to the personality. It causes you to lie about who you know sometimes. (Amen, Make it plain) There are some people who are influence peddlers. And in their attempt to deal with the drum major instinct, they have to try to identify with the so-called big-name people. (Yeah, Make it plain) And if you’re not careful, they will make you think they know somebody that they don’t really know. (Amen) They know them well, they sip tea with them, and they this-and-that. That happens to people.

And the other thing is that it causes one to engage ultimately in activities that are merely used to get attention. Criminologists tell us that some people are driven to crime because of this drum major instinct. They don’t feel that they are getting enough attention through the normal channels of social behavior, and so they turn to anti-social behavior in order to get attention, in order to feel important. (Yeah) And so they get that gun, and before they know it they robbed a bank in a quest for recognition, in a quest for importance.

And then the final great tragedy of the distorted personality is the fact that when one fails to harness this instinct, (Glory to God) he ends up trying to push others down in order to push himself up. (Amen) And whenever you do that, you engage in some of the most vicious activities. You will spread evil, vicious, lying gossip on people, because you are trying to pull them down in order to push yourself up. (Make it plain) And the great issue of life is to harness the drum major instinct.

But let me rush on to my conclusion, because I want you to see what Jesus was really saying. What was the answer that Jesus gave these men? It’s very interesting. One would have thought that Jesus would have condemned them. One would have thought that Jesus would have said, “You are out of your place. You are selfish. Why would you raise such a question?”

But that isn’t what Jesus did; he did something altogether different. He said in substance, “Oh, I see, you want to be first. You want to be great. You want to be important. You want to be significant. Well, you ought to be. If you’re going to be my disciple, you must be.” But he reordered priorities. And he said, “Yes, don’t give up this instinct. It’s a good instinct if you use it right. (Yes) It’s a good instinct if you don’t distort it and pervert it. Don’t give it up. Keep feeling the need for being important. Keep feeling the need for being first. But I want you to be first in love. (Amen) I want you to be first in moral excellence. I want you to be first in generosity. That is what I want you to do.”

And he transformed the situation by giving a new definition of greatness. And you know how he said it? He said, “Now brethren, I can’t give you greatness. And really, I can’t make you first.” This is what Jesus said to James and John. “You must earn it. True greatness comes not by favoritism, but by fitness. And the right hand and the left are not mine to give, they belong to those who are prepared.” (Amen)

And so Jesus gave us a new norm of greatness. If you want to be important—wonderful. If you want to be recognized—wonderful. If you want to be great—wonderful. But recognize that he who is greatest among you shall be your servant. (Amen) That’s a new definition of greatness.

And this morning, the thing that I like about it: by giving that definition of greatness, it means that everybody can be great, (Everybody) because everybody can serve. (Amen) You don’t have to have a college degree to serve. (All right) You don’t have to make your subject and your verb agree to serve. You don’t have to know about Plato and Aristotle to serve. You don’t have to know Einstein’s theory of relativity to serve. You don’t have to know the second theory of thermodynamics in physics to serve. (Amen) You only need a heart full of grace, (Yes, sir, Amen) a soul generated by love. (Yes) And you can be that servant............

Martin Luther King, Jr.

And a precious two days later, Martin Luther King, Jr. was murdered in cold blood.  Yet I truly believe he had lived his CALLING and spread the Gospel he came here to deliver!!

But if like me, you came here to Earth at this particular point of Time and Space, then it is because you are a SUPERHERO and have a grounded knowingness that your task would be, like Martin Luther King's, far from easy! And yet, you still agreed to this 'Mission Possible.' All for the grand experience of love filled understanding that shall birth us into the next expanded state of Collective Consciousness. 

Over the past 4 and 1/2 years, I have been writing about many of these topics within several posts on my spiritual, transformational blog, The New Age Nerd. (For anyone reading this who has not yet visited my site, please go to www.TheNewAgeNerd.com)

Through decades of intense metaphysical studying with mentors, reading the words of spiritual masters, and securing my own individual certifications in Spiritual Leadership, I know beyond any shadow of a still darkened face that all of your Collective pain in shared Consciousness is now ready to be displayed on the stage of the entire WORLD! To be seen, understood, and healed! 

So stay strong and resolute my fellow New Age Nerds! For the opposition of misguided fellow space travelers are filled with their own darkened agendas. As they always have been throughout the very creative etches of creative freedom.  And this World of polarized SPIRITS can only permanently succumb to the tyranny of illusionary pain and suffering once we refuse to take up a sharpened blade! Not for the idealization of blood thirsty desires, but rather the courage to defend all those who have neither the voice nor necessity to do it for themselves! For that is the true calling of a Cosmic Superhero! And one that needs our firm commitment RIGHT NOW! No more 'One day'er' mentality! The time is upon us, the only question being asked: "Will you declare yourself to be a part of the continued problem, or part of the eternal solution?!"

For even Jesus the Christ was never considered a Boy Scout. NO!! He was feared as a rabble rouser in his land. Often the first to raise a Heavenly hand to overturn the tables of corruption that dared to singe a stranglehold over those who had no real voice! 

So in these uneasy times, please hold those truths in your own heart! Jesus taught us that it is not only your God given right, but your purpose to stand up against any form of unconsciousness. (in the form of hate, prejudice, disenfranchisement, inequality, or misogyny) As Albert Einstein said, "The World is a dangerous place not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look and do nothing." And let us be honest, who wants to argue with AB, (Albert Einstein) em I right?!  ;0)

So when you decide to draw that line; the one that is born from the darkened blood of your own right to live a life free from any form of indignation, KNOW WITHIN YOUR HEART THAT AS MANY MAY FREE THEMSELVES FROM YOUR OWN LIFE........    THAT I (Amongst so many others) WILL FILL THAT INTERNAL VOID WITH A LOVE THAT WILL TAKE A BILLION LIFETIMES TO BURN THROUGH..........   For the entire Cosmos truly 'Sees You!' They adore you, and are beyond thankful that you had the courage to come here during this true tipping point! All towards a World that will continue to breathe life for the billions of SOULS who have yet to experience its beauty, brawn, and miraculous connection for Eons to come.........!

For although we have come so far....  OUR SUPER HEROIC JOURNEY is still just beginning! And Oh So Exciting....................

The TRANSFORMATIVE Power Of KNOWLEDGE....!

The power of inspiration, on the other hand, comes from Knowledge. It cannot be influenced. It is immune to this kind of persuasion. Even a Greater Community set of skills used against an individual strong with Knowledge would not be effective in changing their perception, their understanding or their experience. The influence would be felt, but it would be recognized as a perpetration from the outside.

Marshall Vian Summers

A couple of years after I moved to Los Angeles, CA, I began attending Wednesday night services at a non-denominational dojo of pure dynamite known as AGAPE.  Agape is Greek for "unconditional love."  And boy was LOVE dispersed there like cotton candy at a local town fair!  This harmonious haven is led by Dr. Michael Beckwith from the movie The Secret.  They truly smashed the proverbial bowl when The Grand Creator went and blew him off a cloud in heaven.  He has some of the most infectious energy I have ever been around.  And when he really starts channeling "spirit" he starts to sound just like Chris Rock.  Wanna see for yourSELF?  Go check out one of his many videos on YouTube.  I am quite sure you will be super glad you did!  

One particular evening while I was studying with a group of like minded friends and him at this temple, a young woman in the small crowd raised her hand. Dr. Beckwith was in the middle of a sermon on how to manifest more in your life.  With great zealous enthusiasm she jumped up out of her seat and asked the following question, "So what do you do if you really, really like fresh squeezed orange juice?"  (Small giggle from the rest of us)  To which Dr. Beckwith responded, "Well then you go buy the fresh squeezed orange juice."  She bounced back with, "But the fresh squeezed orange juice is three times more expensive than the non squeezed.  And I am on a tight budget being an actress in training."  Dr. Beckwith's reply has been like a gymnast, totally "sticking the landing" within me ever since!  With a wild and wicked declaration said, "Well then, you better KNOW, that you KNOW, what you KNOW!"  (Bursts of laughter from the crowd)

It actually took me a few years to completely understand exactly what he meant. He was casting out to us the importance of understanding that KNOWINGNESS is the most important part of our collective creative prowess. It's the state of unwavering GRATITUDE that comes from truly believing that whatever it is we have "asked for" is on its way!  And so learning to be thankful for it even before you can SEE it.  For seeing is NOT believing.  LOL  Believing FIRST is the key to unlocking the bounty of blessings that are our very birthright.  See the difference..  ;0)  In that very moment, he was trying to enlighten this woman to the idea it would be in her best interest to KNOW that more money was coming before buying that orange juice.  As long as she completely believed that fact, than why not go ahead and get the best orange juice out there?!

And just as mastering the art of KNOWINGNESS is crucial in our growth process, so is the attainment of KNOW_LEDGE.  As the old saying goes, true power comes from our repertoire of all which we KNOW. And that's why the typical millionaire reads two to three books each and every month.  Yes, even after they've seemingly "done it all."  ESPECIALLY after they have! For they understand what got them to that state of abundance in all its forms.  It was their KNOW-LEDGE. And then putting that knowledge into daily action with complete knowingness.  For the answers to all that you seek to manifest into your earthly experience lies within that simple formula!  Always has been that way, and it will NEVER change.  Trust!   ;0)

That's why I tell all of my clients the process I will coach them through is actually quite simple. Deep. But simple. The work we do on the "inside" is very similar in vein to the work we do on the outside.  With our physical bodies.  It's learning to shift the energy within you from CATABOLIC (destructive) to ANABOLIC (Empowering and expansive) in nature.  Presto, chango!  Ta da!  I'll be here till Thursday.  Don't forget to tip your waitresses! LOL

Unfortunately our education system is set up in such a manner that the great majority of our "learning" happens by the time we finish college.  Such a travesty, isn't it?!  The secret sauce between those who thrive in life and those who simply eek out a meager survival is their KNOW-LEDGE base. You may be thinking, "Aw come on now Jeffrey!  Some people were just born with a silver spoon in their mouth.  That's why the rich just keep on getting richer and the poor poorer."  But the reality is that during and after "The Great Depression," the true pioneers of our time were mostly self made men who acquired and developed the KNOW-LEDGE others did not. Then the few who actually put that KNOW-LEDGE into well thought out plans and daily action steps became the iconoclasts of our time!  Napoleon Hill's entire life's work proved this to be true. Please read his amazing book, Think and Grow Rich, to get inspired to this truth!

SUPERHEROES IN TRAINING TAKEAWAYS:

Here are some of my favorite quotes on the importance of KNOW-LEDGE:

“Wisdom is not a product of schooling but of the lifelong attempt to acquire it.” 
― Albert Einstein

“To attain knowledge, add things everyday. To attain wisdom, remove things every day.” 
― Lao Tse

"Read in the name of your Lord Who created. He created man from a clot. Read and your Lord is Most Honorable, Who taught (to write) with the pen. Taught man what he knew not.” 
― Anonymous, Qurʾan / القرآن الكريم

“Never regard study as a duty but as an enviable opportunity to learn to know the liberating influence of beauty in the realm of the spirit for your own personal joy and to the profit of the community to which your later works belong."

~Albert Einstein

"The way of success is the way of continuous pursuit of knowledge."

- Napoleon Hill

So what exactly is KNOW-LEDGE?!  Let's break up the word into two halves. The first segment being KNOW.  To "know" is to be of absolute certainty.  No doubts. BOOM!  But are you aware that the meaning of LEDGE is to extend? So, by very definition, KNOW-LEGDE means to "extend KNOWINGNESS" out into the Universe!  The greater your personal KNOW-LEDGE, the more powerful your vibrational energetic offerings.  The more you KNOW, the more the Universe will GROW.  Hey, I made a little rhyme there. Catchy, huh?! LOL And by knowing YOU and the Universe are indeed ONE, that means as the Universe expands, so does your personal energetic essence.  It's the most perfect symbiotic relationship imaginable.  And we all know how much we are possible of imagining! But you can only extend that which you already have within you. So, doesn't it make simple sense to try and acquire as much KNOW-LEDGE as possible each and every day?  I'd sure as hell say so! 

Here are some supreme suggestions on how to further expand your own KNOW-LEDGE:

1. Start creating a book list. Perhaps begin by asking people who have had an inspirational influence upon you what books they would recommend.  Re-member success leaves a trail.  Become a hound dog and sniff those trails out for yourSELF!

2. Join MentorBox. For just 10 bucks month, you can join one of the leading online book clubs in the world. I joined two years ago and I LOVE IT! Their proprietary system allows you to fully customize the manner in which you digest all the material of the books they have in their massive collection. They even have the books broken down into video based segments done from the authors themselves. It's basically an electronic "cliff notes" for the too busy to read set. 

They are constantly adding new books into their collection too.

They even send you e-mails whenever they are having live Master Classes with authors.

Super cool stuff!

3. Become aware of FB and Instagram advertisements produced by authors who are literally giving their new books away.  All you have to do is pay for shipping and handling. (typically 5-7 bucks) Yes, you may have to click through a "funnel system" as they incite you to add more products to your order, but you simply press NO to each request.  Easy peezy!

4. Look to join local book clubs.  My sister is in one here in Northern Virginia and adores her time spent there each month.  And she has made some terrific new friends ta boot!

5.  Check out MindValley.  They are an online "Global School" whose goal it is to transform the world through KNOW_LEDGE!  They offer a gi-normous amount of completely free master class trainings on every subject you can think of.  It's a great new place for you mind to call home. 

And since I am always asked about my own personal favorite selection of know-ledge filled tombs, I'd like to give you my top 25 list of the tomes that have made the biggest impact on my life.  I urge you to check out any that "jump out" at you!

So here is my list of the TOP 25 titles (all available on Amazon) that I believe would make excellent additions to any New Age Nerd's bookshelf:

1)  Conversations with God by Neale Donald Walsh

2)  Seat of the Soul by Gary Zukav

3)  Beyond the Secret by Dr. Lisa Love

4)  Callings by Gregg Levoy

5)  Pathway to Bliss  by Joseph Campbell

6)  The Celestine Prophecy by James Redfield

7)  A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle

8)  Power vs Force by David Hawkins

9)  The Four Desires by Rod Stryker

10)  Man's Search for Meaning by Victor Frankel

11) The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz

12) The Secrets to the Millionaire Mind by T. Harv Eker

13) God I AM by Peter O Erbe

14) Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill

15) A Course in Miracles by The Foundation for Inner Pece

16) Bringers of the Dawn by Barbara Marciniak

17) The Power of Myth by Joseph Campbell

18) Manifesting Change by Mike Dooley

19) The Magic of Thinking Big by David J. Schwartz

20) The Power of Intention by Wayne Dyer

21) Soulshaping by Jeff Brown

22) The Way of the Peaceful Warrior by Dan Millman

23) The Way of the Superior Man by David Deida

24) Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki

25)  The Magic of Believing by Nido Qubein

Of course, Scripture is oh so very sacred.  I did not include this on my list because I feel its truths encapsulate all KNOW-LEDGE!  

I was watching an episode of Oprah's Super Soul Sunday Live from NY last evening.  And Melinda Gates (Bill Gate's wife) was a guest.  She said other than health care, the most important thing we lack in this world is equal opportunities of education.  She stressed how important KNOW-LEDGE is to creating a world in which everyone is treated as equal.  PREACH,  Mrs. Gates!

So what are you waiting for?  That boob tube can be used as a powerful tool for further education, but what would it feel like to know that you are expanding both yourSELF and the Universe as a whole by searching out vessels for your own advancement in all things KNOW-LEDGE? I strongly urge you to not only drink a gallon of water a day for your body.  But please do not forget to "water your mind" everyday by stretching your capacity to learn!  Gotta scoot.  Tons of books are calling my name.....................

BE SUPER HEROIC!
