Self-Transformation begins
with cleaning
out the closet!
Yep, you heard
me right.
So, you want to
be a spiritual being
who is conscious
and awake?
Start cleaning
up your closet.
What is it like to be a spiritual being?
 I have been asked what is it like to be a spiritual being? First and
foremost, it is about being an authentic being who wishes to bring great change
and serve humanity with kindness, efficiency, and compassion. For me, it means
to live MY truth. What is MY truth? It is that inner voice that speaks that I
sometimes I hear but choose not to listen to. It is the inner voice that speaks
up when I do something against my true nature. You know, you have that inner
voice too. For instance, my friend asks me to do a favor and somehow I accept
even though I know I am already overwhelmed but I didn't have the heart to say
"no". Perhaps I didn't want to let my friend down. Either way I committed to
doing something I really didn't want to. Over time, it wears me down, somehow I
created this web of unhappy commitments. Time passes and this pattern repeats
itself over and over. Then one day I find myself all wrapped up tight like a
ball and the tiniest things set me off. I am emotion and reactionary. I feel
like a sham and I am unhappy and depressed. I am full of tension because I am
doing things I am not so proud of. That is not living MY truth. There is no more
denying. I have seen the truth of the situation and I can't stand living the way
I do. I gather all my strength and courage to speak up and try to free myself
and I realize I just set off a huge bomb. Everything seems to explode in my face
and all I can do is take a breath and watch my world crumble. A self demolition,
if you will. As much as I love to create, the deconstruction is just as
important. Being able to get out of the structures I have created takes some
careful maneuvering and grace. Over the stretch of time and the unfolding of
space, the dust begins to settle and the conflict resolves and evolves to a
better understanding of me and my acceptance and willingness to live MY truth.
My life's goal
 It is my goal to live a life so full of rich experiences, to take only
pictures and to leave only footprints. I would like to live in such a way that
there are no regrets. Ultimately, at the end of every day, I lay down and
recount the day's activities. No one judges me as harshly as I judge myself. It
is true, you are your own worst critic. My mind has a whole audience of remarks
and comments. It is peace that I seek and how can peace be given a chance when
my mind has an onslaught of comments? So, I figured it out, I have to take out
the trash and start cleaning up. How can I clean up my act when I live in a
pigpen. How do I keep my clothes white when I keep on playing in the mud? It's
hard to be self reflecting when the mirror is so dull or is covered up with
dust. So I begin clearing the cobwebs of the corners of my mind/room, removed
the obstacles that obstructed the view of my mirror, and took a cloth and
started polishing the surface. Now, there, finally, I can see myself.
It's time to CLEAN UP!
Do you think I liked what I saw? Not what I wanted to see at all. How could I
let myself go like this? So, now I really can't run away from the mirror. I
started cleaning up my room, my closet, my storage, my car, my office, my
kitchen, my everything. You know how it is, you can't just clean one thing....
it creates such a stark difference to everything else that one is compelled to
keep on cleaning. Before I knew it, I touched all the things I stored away and
locked away in boxes for so long. It all came to surface and I finally dealt
with them. There everything exploded and is exposed! Taken from the soon to be
famous, rock opera,
Junk, "One's man's junk is another mans' treasure... what
brings me down brings another pleasure." I just started to let go, literally
tossing things out clearing out the old and making room for the new. At first,
it was such a scary thought..... cleaning up. Several trash bags and hours
later, I emerge content. I find the experience rather transformative and
therapeutic. I think I saved myself years of therapy and thousands of dollars!
Internal Cleaning
And it didn't stop there. Not only was I cleaning my home and the physical
world, I took the cleansing internally. I took Dr. Sankey's Colon Cleansing
Formula and Parasidal Formula. I started to clean out my intestines and letting
go of some old (let's just call it) stuff. I started to write letters that ended
relationships, I started to speak up for what injustices I felt. It was like a
whole new and improved me came out. I simply couldn't stand it anymore. What no
longer served me had to go, along with the old worn out shoes and out-of-fashion
outfits. So, here was I was radiating a whole new frequency. My house is in
tip-top condition, I know where everything is, nothing can hide from these
wandering eyes. No more junk, all items were carefully picked. That way, I can
say everything around me is a choice I've made. It is quite empowering. I highly
suggest it.
Finer Frequency of the Heart
 It takes an incredible amount of courage to live the life you dreamt of but I
must admit once I started cleaning up my house, cleansing my body, organized my
finances, I existed on a different plane. I wasn’t so concerned about surviving,
I became more active in my planning and designing of my life. I took on a more
active role in my destiny. It is as I can design my life, like I can create my
own matrix! I call it living at a higher and more refined frequency. I noticed
when I lived in accordance to my ideals, I slept better and more peacefully.
Nothing kept me up at night, nothing. My friends are envious that as soon as my
head hits my pillow, that I am out like a light bulb. There are no regrets, no
remorse, no wisha/coulda/woulda. I really lived the best I could today. Did you
live your best today? Sure I can buy a new mattress, cover the windows, block
out the noise.... but sometimes, the disturbances are deeper than that. I have
to ask myself, how am I being? Am I in accordance with my heart? It has to do
with living that finer frequency of the heart, as my beloved Dr. Sankey reminds
me.
The time has come to clean up and start living the
life you were born to have.
Creatively co-creating with you,
