Writing has taken a backseat to doing these days, hence the layoff..
" You cannot get to the next phase of a project without a grander mind-set, more acceleration and extra horsepower." Grant Cardone
When you get yourself back in the game of life and you are physically and mentally healthy enough to get a job, keep it and contribute to an RRSP , it is amazing how your focus moving forward seems much easier to deal with.
When I was sitting around everyday contemplating the metaphysical and the meaning of the aging process, it was absolutely exhausting. Am I a Pantheist or a Nebulist?... really? We are a very small planet in a very large galaxy and we all seem to be struggling on different pages, so where do you go from there....exhausting.
I am working with a fantastic company in Honda and they offer a great product that was just voted the most trusted Brand in North America. However, positions in Sales ultimately come down to the individual. It's a kind of stylistic dance focused on producing your best character for a particular situation or individual, Strong Communication can ultimately bring you wealth. Your ability to communicate value will be either your bankable talent or your demise.
Some days are very exciting and I can feel the "flow" or I can feel that I am in the communication "zone" while other days feel like I am walking back and forth in a dungeon of doubt and negativity.
I am back in the game, and the only way I would be able to make a large contribution to this world was by putting myself into a position where I can afford the time to believe and create the personal vision that may impact this world for the better. Or I may ultimately just be another guy that desperately wanted to make a difference on a grand scale, but instead, made a small difference to certain individuals on a very small scale. That is alright. Just smiling at the right individual at the right time can produce a huge impact in itself, or so they say..
In this case, it all starts with a word, an action, and a belief..
I read that Human Beings are only capable of dealing with one reality at a time, which means as you languish in your reality of the moment, there are Billions of other simultaneous realities happening around the world at the same time, that you are not experiencing. I personally want to transcend this, but that will have to take a back seat to my reality of selling new cars right now..

I read this paragraph today that resonated...
Stop Hoping For A Completion Of Anything In Life
Most men make the error of thinking that one day it will be done. They think, "If I can work enough,
then one day I could rest." Or, "One day my woman will understand something and then she will stop complaining." Or, "I'm only doing this now so that one day I can do what I really want with my life."
The masculine error is to think that eventually things will be different in some fundamental way. They won't.
It never ends. As long as life continues, the creative challenge is to tussle, play, and make love with the present moment while giving your unique gift.
2013....Very cool. (we made it to this far out future) It better be, there are no substitutes.
We are the architects of our own futures....
In terms of what I am concentrating my efforts on right now, it is all about this book project that I am working on and doing research for right now. Without saying too much, it involves the language of communications between men and woman.
Through this porthole I have stumbled on alot of information on what it really means to be a man in Society these days. I have been looking at Iron John by Robert Bly and Wild at Heart by John Elderidge. How do the classical male archetypes fit into the ever involving relationships between the sexes. There is alot there. Also Feel the Fear and Do It Anyways is a great read.
I have been studying the fairly clandestine world of pick-up artists, including Ross Jefferies, Neil Strauss (The Game) and David Deangelo. I had no idea that this type of community existed and that the members were so very hard core about there secrets and techniques.
To be honest, it has been a very long time since I was in a real life situation where I was trying to get a number from a female with hopes of something more. I didn't ever use a script and things came fairly naturally, but these guys have things down to a very deep science. As Tom Cruise said to Neil Strauss when he was interviewing him for Rolling Stone..."If you guys used this type of energy and technique for bettering the world instead of for personal pleasure, you would really be on to something big."
One of the men that is thought of as an expert in Spirituality and Sexuality for men is David Deida.
Here is an excerpt from his book "The way to the superior man".....Interesting stuff. Talking about a mans true journey and how it relates to his partner.
Stop Hoping For Your Woman To Get Easier
A woman often seems to test her man's capacity to remain unperturbed in his truth and purpose.
She tests him to feel his freedom and depth of love, to know that he is trustable. Her tests may come in the form of complaining, challenging him, changing her mind, doubting him, distracting him, or even undermining his purpose in a subtle or not so subtle way. A man should never think his woman's testing is going to end and his life will get easier. Rather, he should appreciate that she does these things to feel his strength, integrity, and openness. Her desire is for his deepest truth and love. As he grows, so will her testing.
Every moment of your life is either a test or a celebration. The same is true about every moment with your woman, only doubly so. Not only is her simple existence a test for you, but one of her deepest pleasures in intimacy is testing you, and then feeling you are not moved off course by her challenge.
The most erotic moment for a woman is feeling that you are Shiva, the divine masculine: imperturbable, totally loving, fully present, and all pervading. She cannot move you, because you already are what you are, with or without her.
She cannot scare you away, because you already penetrate her in fearless love, pervading her heart and body. She cannot distract you, because your one-pointed commitment to truth will not bend to her wiles. Feeling the hugeness of love and freedom in you, she can trust you, utterly and surrender her testing in celebration of love.
I am looking forward to continued good health, integrity and inspiration for myself and for everybody out there this year.
