I don’t know about you, but most funnymen don’t make me laugh out loud. Maybe because I am still under the spell of the music in the previous article, but I am uplifted by the humor in the following video… But the guy is funny in a really genius way…
Enjoy.

One of my defining experiences was in 2003 in New York City.
I was invited to a huge drum circle. The experience of being part of something larger than yourself is the most inspiring “big picture” of your life, and if you can feel it, hear it, sense it, then it can be recalled and inspire till the rest of your days.
Here is a video that was shot in many places in the world, where the musicians played both locally and on the internet, making music, like a drum circle through the internet.

This is follow-up to the Cycles of life article, aka the depression article.
For example health: the reason to be healthy so you can accomplish YOUR big picture. No heath, no energy, no big picture.
You need to ask the question: what do I want to use my life for? Your big picture is up to you. But beware that if it is too big, or inauthentic, you will cause yourself suffering.
As I wrote in an earlier post this week, I have been depressed. I have lost the reason to live.
While I was writing the article, I managed to dispel the pitch black darkness, but I was still hovering over and above depression, so I wasn’t quite back in loving life, yet.

1: Because he’s adorable when embarrassed, he’s always learning and growing, and he’s still very much a Time Lord. Because he’s got precisely the reverse of Matt Smith going on: he’s young by the standards of his own species but old by ours, and it creates the most fascinating dynamic.
2: Because he’s kind, considerate, demonstrative, loving, whimsical, playful and childish, but you do not want to cross him. Because he believes in the potential for goodness in everyone, even the Daleks, but doesn’t let that blind him to the dangers of the universe. Because he likes music and funny hats and coats and bow ties. Because he’s still such a boy, but he’s growing older, too. Because his departure story is heartrending, and marks a major turning point in who the Doctor is.
3: Because Venusian aikido and reversed polarities. Because of every single thing about his relationships with the Brig, Jo, Liz and Sarah, not to mention Benton and Yates and the Master and Bessie. Because he’s a man out of his element but stronger than ever. Because he’s a consummate gentleman. Because he will kick your ass in velvet and lace. Because now he’s learned something about loss and pain, and yet it’s taught him that where there’s life, there is always, always hope.
4: Because he doesn’t take one single thing seriously–except when it really matters. Because he’s not afraid to lead revolutions, change history, or even kill, but he appreciates the gravity of those decisions. Because he’s an eccentric bohemian in a twenty-foot scarf with hair as wild as he is. Because he’s smarter than the universe, and there has never been a Doctor so impossible to defeat. Because his major companions are absolutely incredible women, any of whom could easily carry off a show of their own, as they have to be to stand up next to him. Because there’s no sense in being grown-up if you can’t be childish sometimes. Because he is an unstoppable individualist and proud of it. Because the universe is his oyster, and he always manages to find the pearl in it. Because he’s mad as all the hatters and hares in the seven systems. Because he’s always laughing, and always will. Because he’ll insult you to your face if you deserve it. Because it’s never not the right time for a jelly baby. And because Tom Baker is the Doctor, and has always said so himself.
5: Because cricket, tea, celery, and too many companions. Because he is the Master’s greatest stimulation. Because he’s polite by default, and because he’ll bite your head off if he’s cranky. Because he sacrifices himself for his companion without a syllable of complaint. Because his smile is infectious and his hair is imminently ruffleable. Because he’s at the beginning of a crisis of identity, moving into Time Lord middle-age, with that ever-fascinating contrast of youth vs. age entirely at play. Because he’d really rather just have a nice day, but he’ll always choose to save the universe anyway.
6: Because change, my dear, and not a minute too soon. Because he’s at a stage of life for questioning what and who he is, but that sure as hell doesn’t mean he’s going to let anyone ELSE tell him what he should or shouldn’t be. Because Colin Baker got a second chance to be his Doctor (god bless Big Finish) and proves over and over again how much he deserves it. Because by now he understands how easy it is to get hurt, but that never stops him opening himself up. Because he cares so much it hurts sometimes to watch or listen to. Because he’s a loud man in a loud coat with among the warmest pairs of hearts he’ll ever have.
7: Because he’s an adorable wee thing with an irrepressible sense of humor, and because he’s so dangerous it’ll make your head spin. Because rolled r’s, bopped noses, and question mark umbrellas. Because he loves his companions so much, they love him so much, and he depends on them to keep him from losing himself. Because he’s an actor, always acting, and it’s so hard to know for sure just how he sees the universe. Because he’s powerful, and yet he chooses to be a good man. Because he’s a kind father figure, a playful boy, and a vengeful god, and he is all of those things at the very same time. Because he’s got centuries and centuries in his eyes, and they burden him down without ever defeating him. Because he loves beauty in all its forms. Because there are people made of smoke and cities made of song, and yet he knows that among the most important jobs in the universe is to stop the tea from growing cold.
8: Because steampunk TARDIS, velvet and satin, that hair, and the perfect shoes. Because Zagreus sees you in your bed and eats you while you’re sleeping. Because he’s beautiful and deadly, and the only thing he’s afraid of is himself. Because he fought and survived in a war he can’t have wanted. Because his mind is a marvelous and a terrible thing. Because he and Charlotte Elspeth Pollard rode out of the wreck of the R101 on a Vortisaur, and absolutely nothing else I could possibly say would be equal to that.
9: Because he’s so very broken, but he goes on. Because he’s got a death wish, but far more than that, a life wish. Because he hopes. Because he cries. Because he’d rather be a coward than a killer. Because he lashes out when he’s hurting, and because he can be inexpressibly kind. Because he admits he needs people, and truly tries to heal. Because he survives against unspeakable odds, and without losing sight of the fact that he is the Doctor. Because he was fantastic, and always will be.
10: Because when he smiles, he can light up a whole room. Because his enthusiasm is boundless and his energy infectious. Because he’s a lost boy torn between searching for the man he was before the war, and becoming the man he will be after it. Because sometimes his drive not to be alone leads him to embrace the goodness in people, and when that happens, it’s beautiful. Because he can gasp in awe at the beauty of a werewolf when it’s about to tear his head off. Because he loves humans more than any other Doctor. Because he’s searching for something he can’t find, but the journey is the most important part.
11: Because he is the most ancient old man and the most childish boy. Because he’s old and the last and he can’t stand to see children cry. Because he is a fairy tale and a good wizard and the thing monsters are afraid of. Because every single thing shows up in on his face, and dear god but that’s acting Mr. Smith. Because he doesn’t know how to kiss a girl, but he does know how to love. Because he’s angry and joyful, possessor of scars that are healing but still very, very sore. Because the universe can still surprise him, especially when he sees it through someone else’s eyes. Because he is the Doctor, eleven men in one, and someday he will be one-twelfth of the next one. And because that will be beautiful in entirely new ways, a whole new adventure, and I can’t wait to have it.

Why? Because giving advice comes from your shadow side, from your dark side.
How? When you give advice, you place yourself above the other person. Giving advice is asserting your superiority.
Have you noticed that you can get fired for that? Even if your advice is right on the spot…
By the way: this is true for healers, coaches, salespeople, helpers, charity volunteers, everyone.

As I have said in other articles before, we have several cycles going on in our lives.
What I didn’t say about the cycles is this: earliest incidents of disappointment, pain, abuse, loss create them. The length of the cycle is fixed, and it is correlated to the age when the incident happened.
OK, after this preamble, I’d like to share a cycle I haven’t spoken about: the cycle in which I lose the will to live. I lose enjoyment. It’s not fun.
I am probably at the deepest point of the cycle right now. And until a few minutes ago, life was showing up and an is… All life held, success, money, love, relationships showed up as: this is how it is, there is nothing you can do about it.

Inner Peace is elusive, like health. What do you call peace? The lack of war? What do you call health? Lack of illness? Imagine that you are walking in a forest, on a footpath on a beautiful summer day. The … Continue reading
Are your feelings yours? I had a realization a few minutes ago: Every summer I am attacked by this strong feeling that unless I have a life-partner, I am alone, and I have an empty life. It comes fortified with … Continue reading
Why is respect hard and rare? Because respect includes the capacity and the willingness to look again, but this time look from a different vantage point, preferable from the point of view of the other person. Of the big picture, … Continue reading
Warning: this article is a little sloppy… in time I’ll clean it up. I just wanted to get it out. Enjoy.
We tend to see the same thing over and over. It is called: already always listening. Or sometimes it is called “a seeming”. And yet other times it is called prejudice.
Whether it is there or not doesn’t depend on your vibration. What depends on your vibration is what you are going to do about this information.
But your results in life depend on that… so ultimately, it is true, that the quality of your life will depend on your vibration.
How? Where? Why?
It is slightly different for every person, but we could say that your fixed way of seeing the world is responsible for 90% of what’s in your life. 10% is out of your control.
Where? In money. In relationships. In health. In spirituality. Everywhere.
Why?

I have a student who seems to be looking for reasons to be unhappy, angry, frustrated. And not surprisingly she finds something. Always.
She is working on her health and well-being, and part of that is to document every breakfast, lunch and dinner time what she eats, what she drinks, what she does, what she feels like, and whether she had a bowel movement or not. These are all indicators of her well-being and progress.
This morning I realized something: her diary says: bowel movement: small. She doesn’t say: bowel movement: yes (or no, whatever is the case.) No she says: small.
This realization lead me to look back and see that she wants to find something she can be unhappy about.
Now, this is actually very familiar to me. Bear with me, a lot of you have this, and if you can see it, you can do something about it.
I’ll share my story later, let me first distinguish the mechanism:
