The Most Impatient, Impetuous, Discontented Soul I Ever Met....Me at 35!

OK, Dr. Mike....I want to find out, and I mean FAST, what I am supposed to do with my life....

OK, I am 25 and brilliant....

OK, I am getting a good education, have really bright professors and mentors...

OK, now, also I am really gorgeous/handsome (you pick), and I want to meet the right person, I mean RIGHT NOW PLEASE!...no delays...time is ticking and I need a serious date for the prom...

OK, so you said all these flashes would happen...so where are they? Please Flash, hit me!!!

Well.......Dr. Mike has something to say.....

I love your spirit.

You are aware that this stuff is waiting for you..

You want it now because you like action, and you don't like boring nights...

You want it NOW! I understand...
I want it for you too, just so you know....

But you and I have nothing to do with WHEN it will happen or come to you...

That is the nature of the Flash, White, Blue, Pink, even Green...you are aware, you can be looking...but there will be vast stretches when you hunger for it.........I was there too.

I do know it comes through others not us alone. It comes when we maybe least expect it....

It comes in often from the side, not in front of you...

BUT, when it comes, look out, you will be blown over, you may never recover from the excitement, from the love, from the passion....

That is just the way it is....

But don't lose the faith, it WILL happen...just be ready....

The Four Great Flashes of Life

This blog exists to support those in conscious search for their life purpose. I believe we can find one that makes our life whole, rich, where everything comes together and makes sense. I've researched this and write on the topic. It is my own passion and central purpose to help people find theirs....the blue flash is the far end of the light prism, rare light....it suggests that when the moment occurs, your life is like a new day.....blue sky....energy...hope...dreams come alive...

Some may have seen as the sun goes down over the horizon... it is seen by only a few... the last part of the prism of light, as the sun disappears, there is a flash of green... this is really a metaphor for seeking special moments in nature, God's gift to us in the environment of nature... we do need those moments... crisp air in a winter morning after a fresh snowfall... the whisper of mist from a waterfall on our face... I have seen the green flash once... on the beach in Hawaii... it is a real phenomenon...

The Pink Flash is romantic love which touches most all of us sooner or later and some of us several times. It is like a whoosh... before you know it, you are so bonded with another in a rush of romance... it can be ageless, unplanned, can end in joy or pain... we all need this to be truly human, and yet we are learning about it all our lives... the lessons go on and get some of us so engrossed and confused, we often think we are starting all over again... yet we must learn from each one and must follow our heart... no easy answers here, just that we cannot avoid this so human part of our full life... when the pink (heart) flash truly hits, you feel like you are in a free fall... its power in life is among the greatest gifts.

Whatever a person's faith, there are moments when each of us seems to be spoken to directly or given a clear signal by the Creator. I call these ``white moments". Time stands still. There is no worldly explanation. Logic is defied. But an answer is given. A gift seems to be delivered. A messenger shows up. Something unexplainable occurs. Some people spend more time with this, actively pursuing the Creator' guidance. Others deny the Creator, yet admit that they see answers that they cannot trace to a source. Can we pursue answers actively? Can we learn to invoke these powers? A full life seems to include the awareness that we are searching and that this search gets richer and richer as we grow... in the life-long pursuit of happiness, it is hard to avoid some moments that are unexplainable and seem too unreal to be true...

The Blue Flash is the moment when one sees one's life purpose. Laying out in front of your feet just like a pathway. Some see it as a picture. Not everyone has this one. Those lucky ones who do describe the moment with excitement. It always takes place with some other loved one present, always takes place in a peaceful place, and people describe that their themes of life come together in a single concept or idea. It can be a company, a career goal, an idea of a central project for one's life... why we seem to justify our existence, education. It seems to occur at mid life, rarely early. People seem to need some pain and confusion and wandering before it is achieved. BUT, those who find it and follow it are the happiest on earth. They seem also to be the bravest, the toughest, and most willing to help others find it. It becomes a passionate pursuit of happiness at the highest level.
