RAY'S REPORTS

Not sure about you guys but I’m pretty sure my purpose in life comes in 2 parts. That is to be free and help others be free. I’m talking about financial freedom, creative freedom, societal freedom, etc etc. Every sense of the word.

My studies have led me to the fact that optimization of mind, body, and spirit will get me there the quickest. And this blog here is documentation of that journey.

People have been asking what this site is all about and it might not be that obvious so this is my public statement. Lol.

“I’m not saying I’m gonna change the world, but I guarantee that I will spark the brain that will change the world.” – Tupac

There’s a new flow in town. Actually it’s been there but we might not have noticed it. Let’s ride it.

“Becoming the greatest” has just been shortened to “being great”. To competitive people this might sound soft. Like not striving to be the greatest is settling or not trying your best. But I think that is just it, “trying” or “striving” instead of just “being.”

It’s about enjoying yourself. Give yourself permission to have fun with it. I bring this up because I work with people trying to make their product or service “the greatest” and if they don’t become the next Steve Jobs or Steven Spielberg then their life is a failure. It’s especially noticeable here in LA actually.

I appreciate ambition but not at the cost of fun. This chapter of misery is over and out dated. Ambition is not competition. I think this era of follower counts, likes, and comments etc has faded.

I said in a recent video interview that there are no more good photos or bad photos, just photography. I was stumbling with it and will probably look real dumb when it comes out. The interviewer didn’t get what I was trying to say and I actually didn’t either until just now.

That is that the action itself is great. Mix the action with passion and purpose and that’s more than enough to change your life, in turn the lives of those around you, and in turn the world. What more can you ask for.

Sometimes I get cosmic on here and sometimes I get quantum. But “as above, so below”. This means our external reality is a reflection of our internal reality, so we study both.

But usually if we are looking for something externally, most likely we have to find it somewhere internally first.

A while ago when I first moved to LA I said to my sister something like, “When I get rich I wanna go to the beach all the time.” She said, “The beach is free, dude.”

I had some dumb belief that only people with lots of money can go to the beach.

A simple example but you can see how ridiculous our minds can be. These beliefs can be blocking the flow of what it is we really want. Once the belief was gone, I could see how I could make the beach happen and instantly it became a part of my external reality.

Beliefs, stories, attachments, entanglements, etc can all be blocking, clogging, and anchoring us internally. You already know all this. Happy journeys on your path to self mastery.

We talked about “alignment” before. I am talking about alignment of mind, body, and spirit. If your mind wants to go one way but your body and spirit want to go another way, you can find yourself running around in circles.

We can use our words to re-frame certain thoughts and ideas and beliefs to get everyone on the same page.

Obvious example. As a business owner, I am constantly irritating myself with thoughts of how to sell more books per month. The solution, as I often forget, is to re-frame it and ask how to inspire more people per month. The ego mind says we need to pay the bills, all stressy and spammy causing the spirit to be disgruntled. The spirit wants to be creative and connect with people. The re-frame of trying to inspire more people per month satisfies both aspects and we are now on the same page.

I get tripped up on this and thought I’d share because I see others getting tripped up. Not just in business but in all aspects of life. Relationships, health, purpose, etc.

I have a friend who sees the discipline of health as pain and sacrifice. I’m like uhhhhhh, can’t exercise and diet just simply be the idea of you being nice to your body?

Another friend, who wants to be in a relationship, sees relationships as too much work. Isn’t it possible to meet someone where it clicks and it’s fun?

Not saying that we don’t have to go through the fire and battle our innermost demons to level up, but sometimes we can just use our words too.

We’ve heard them say perception is reality. And we know that there are trillions of bits of information that make up reality and that our brains can only pick up about 2 million of these bits.

This means our perception of reality is pretty narrow compared to what reality actually is. (It also means reality can be epicly flexible by way of perception.)

This adds another dimension to the conversation. When we say we are creating reality, are we really saying we are creating our perception of reality? Could our perception be synonymous with transmission/reception? Or is it more of a collaboration?

If so, we are getting closer. One part, focus. One part, belief systems. One part, thoughts and feelings. The sum of these 3 parts equals our signature frequency shaping our perception and thus our reality.

The search continues..

I started this blog on July 4th a few years ago. I remember thinking that I need a place to dump my photos that’s not owned by some corporation. I remember feeling boxed in by not just the limitations of social media but also my other sites, the publishing world, and even Hamburger Eyes.

This is why I always tell everyone they should have a blog even if no one reads it. You can be free and you’re still sharing. People can visit as they please or not at all and it’s fine.

This has kind of set the tone for this blog, that is the search for freedom!

Let’s celebrate the journey for we are getting closer and closer.

There seems to be the truth of reality and our own personal truth. Like maybe unicorns are real but I have never seen one. What is the truth? If we are experiencing a reality of the collective consciousness, then it must be our personal truths influencing it.

Our truth isn’t what we “know” to be true, our truth is what we “believe” to be true. And we already know that our beliefs can be false. We can find seeds of feelings and emotions in our truths. At one point Santa was real for us. Our thoughts, feelings, and emotions were influenced by parents or marketing or whatever and then formed a belief. That belief became the truth.

I think that I am saying that our thoughts, feelings, and emotions form our beliefs. Then those beliefs form our truth which then becomes our reality.

So, we can out grow or evolve out of limiting beliefs or we can be deliberate about it and make beliefs.

I have a friend who believes he can’t get a girlfriend because he doesn’t drive a Tesla. I’m like what the fuck are you talking about and who are these girls you are going after.

Thousands of examples but the main go to one is the guy who ran the 4 minute mile. Scientists, doctors, etc said it was physically impossible. Then a guy did it. And soon after a bunch of people did it and now do it all the time.

If we can dream then maybe our lives can be more dreamy.

Knowledge isn’t real. I am summarizing some ideas from books by Don Miguel Ruiz and Eckhart Tolle mixed with some of my own ideas. Actually, knowledge can be real but sometimes it isn’t the truth.

We know that you are supposed to stop at a red light, but that doesn’t mean someone won’t run it and cause an accident at any given time. So it is not truthful to say everyone stops at a red light, yet it is common knowledge.

What we know is like a half truth. It is an experience of reality mixed with our interpretation of what happened.

Adam and Eve got kicked out of Eden because they ate from the Tree of Knowledge instead of the Tree of Life. Don Miguel explains this is because knowledge is our interpretation of the truth which is a distortion, while life itself is the truth.

I have read in other books the Tree of Knowledge actually referenced as the Tree of Illusion.

Both authors describe this split with words like conscious and unconscious, reality and illusion, the living and the undead, truth and half truth, etc.

Eckhart Tolle says we are naturally in a state like a cork floating on the surface of water. We are often pulled under into the unconscious by our thoughts, beliefs, and “knowledge”. We just have to let go of what we know and float back up to consciousness.

This is interesting to me because self-awareness is interesting to me. Finding out what holds us down is interesting to me.

If we are energy, then we are vibrating at a certain frequency. I like to think that frequency is how frequently we are aligned with the truth. Sometimes we are at a high vibration, that is being highly aligned with our truth. And sometimes not, which means are spending too much time in the land of illusion.

What we do know is that we don’t really know anything. Which brings us back to the main point, that life isn’t a puzzle to be solved. Life is to be lived. Let’s go live and try to live a little better than we did yesterday.

You may have noticed I stopped doing the weekly energy reports. I think they kept starting to sound the same. What’s happening is the Earth is being bombarded with energies on a regular basis. Huge transformationalistic shifts are happening. This is a good thing for us and it will continue for a while.

Some of these waves are purging and cleansing, some are healing and integrating. And some are just straight up portal opening dimension shifting DNA upgrading illumination. And these waves are coming in random cycles. Some from deep space, some from the Sun, all in tandem with Mother Earth.

If you are feeling it, allow it and accept it. If you need to, call me.
