The Speed of Light....in Our Minds

There is the speed of light....actually, what it is....186,000 miles per second...
Then, there is the speed of light in what we perceive....may be faster or slower than the actual...
But perception is everything....

Our minds can make time and motion just slow down...or speed up....

After writing just several days ago about jetting over to Copenhagen from California and Chicago...
I got back from that fantastically successful trip, through Amsterdam....just as fast...

One day at home, then to Asia, where I am now already one full day.
It feels good....you might ask, why? how could it?

Here is why....

This planet is smaller than we know.
People connections are everything. Plane connections are second!
Some moments in our minds just stand still in time. They are frozen like life-long photos...
Most of those are good ones. The memory is down to the seconds, minutes...

Then there are whole passages that whir by like a blur...

We have to get down to business, yes.
But, we have to get down to what really matters....
Its the people who matter in our lives....the connections are so frail...and yet so enduring...
Its the places that matter, yes...
It is our life destiny that we are writing the script of every day...

It can travel sometimes so fast it may catch up with the speed of light...
Or, if we can savor it, sometimes so slow, that each micro-second is like a whole lifetime....

Our own clock inside our heart is not a metric like what measures the speed of light-actual
It is the ultimate clock of our universe, because we and our hearts are at the very center.

I said earlier, love moves at the speed of light out into the universe...and it does..
It can also move as slow as each second we wait to hear from someone....each heartbeat...
The clock of our heart is the clock of our life.

Nice to be back here in Asia...the smell of fresh tea....the warmth of friends....
Time has slowed down for a while....and it feels so good!

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.
