Pulsing Passions

I went to bed late and woke even later.  Such is the way of passion.

Today the Solar Blue Hand of pulsing accomplishment asks us to realize  in order to know, finding the intention of healing.  We are guided by the Night’s power of abundance to search our dreams for intuition.  Be open to opportunity, but resist distractions.

Ha!  That’s easier said than done.

Sometimes I feel like the dog in Up!  Was that a squirrel?

Off to go play with my passions.  Cheers and kisses!

Pools of reflection

Today, the Magnetic Red Skywalker is guided by itself to explore space and find wakefulness.  To me that signifies pushing beyond limits… the barriers in our life only we have constructed. 
Waking up to the reality of space.  That there is more out there.  More to be seen.  More to be experienced. 

Imagine if we could fly.  That would solve the whole gas mess and traffic jams rather quickly.  Perhaps instead of wishing for new cars, we should will ourselves new abilities.

What a person can conceive, they can achieve. 

I have believed that technology is increasing exponentially so that humanity can transcend to a new reality.  Unfortunately, people are too focused on stuff.  My self included.  As I completely restructure my business for… well, essentially the world, my self reflection has become nanoseconds instead of long moments listening to the wind through the trees and staring deep into the reflection of water.

I am doing exactly what I want to educate people away from.  Sure, I could say what I am doing is for the greater good.  But in this moment is it my greatest good?  Am I being at my best so that I can offer my best?

The easiest answer would be to ask if there is any stress in my body.  Is my forehead tight? Do my shoulders or back ache?  Certainly not greatly, but enough to give me pause and know that I am pushing against instead of flowing with the tides of the universe.  

Today will be my quiet day of reflection and organization.  I can see where my intuition was leading last night as I made a list of things to do and organize was today's goal.  So now I can reflect… sounds perfect.

Ciao loves,

Message in a Bottle

Yesterday I had a social media meltdown where I blogged all over my Facebook.  It was sweet that some people thought I was actually sad.  It just goes to show how sensitive I can seem.

It is difficult for a woman who has practiced introversion the better part of her life to suddenly “need” an audience of millions.  The truth is I don’t know how.  But the message I have learned and “need” to share is too profound to hide from.

I can’t explain it.  I’ve been trying so hard to package it in smaller and smaller sound bites that will resonate… make people pay attention.  It is a way of being that allows for the individual to flourish while simultaneously offering their best to others.

It is about finding your inner strength and making decisions from a place of power.  It is  about understanding why all of those books on your shelves in the quest for the better you… haven’t worked.  And I have designed it in such a way that if one simply puts in the time… less than 15 minutes for reading and the rest of the week for reflection…. their lives will change for the better.  It is impossible not to.

It is not about suddenly waking up on a yacht finding yourself surrounded by dozens of simpering sycophants. It is not a get rich scheme and it will not work overnight.   It takes time to understand who you really are…

It is highly likely I will fall down a few times publicly, like yesterday… seeming needy instead of playful.  It is hard to type out “hey guys, I’m trying to be an extravert here!” God they are going to lock me up… aren’t they.

I am being and have been tested in so many ways. And now it is time to put my money where my mouth is. (Ah… la canción, Sentimientos. Que dulce. I just got a message from my girlfriend… still in México.)

And so the battle with myself begins. An introvert learns to become an extrovert. Can a leopard change her spots? Watch me.

Let come what may.  I am following this through.  I decided a long time ago this was my mission and now I am finally focused and ready.  Huu rah!

And now to the Mayan Mysteries:  Today is the Cosmic Yellow Human.  Perfect!  A day of free will.  You know… one of the things I love most about the Mayan Signatures is that there are never any bad forecasts.  It is simply the energy of the earth pulling in a direction and left for you to make of it what you will…

Today we are guided by the warrior to achieve intelligence through questioning our fears… (this keeps getting spooky how much this resonates).  Endure in order to influence, transcending wisdom…

Is anyone else paying attention to this?  I need to go hug myself.

It’s my coming out party.

Your Intuition brought you here…. why?

Hungry Wolves

Well, because I was out following the monkey yesterday, I have pushed back the completion of the website, but… guess what… I don’t care!  One thing I know is that following my intuition always  leads to the right things to do, even if it doesn’t make sense at the time. 
I sit here with my cup of coffee just chomping at the bit, ready to dive into production.  Once the website is complete, I will begin my marketing attempts in earnest.  I recently heard an adage that applies…
“Couldn’t lead a pack of hungry wolves to meat…” Yep.  That’s me.  But I’m working on it.
Well, today is the Yellow Solar Star.  I’m a Star, so I feel particularly inspired by Star days.  Do you know what your Galactic Signature is?  I love this site: http://www.icandosomething.com/mayancalendar/signature.php  In addition to the calendar I developed, I  use it all the time.  Hopefully you find it interesting, and if you have the means, please donate to them. 
Today we are guided in the opening seeds of awareness to show the elegance within.  Find power in exploring the skies and gain strength from reflection.  The magic monkey is our friend. 
On that note my loves,  kisses!
Below is the view from my table at dinner.  Yum

Happy Tears

Answers keep coming.  I am amazed at how much I have learned, how much I have gained from this short part of the journey.  I see beauty in everything.  Even the small fragments I would have called “setbacks” have become friends along the way. 

I was just suddenly pushed to look up a song that popped into my head.  I had no idea who sang it or what it was called, but I keep “hearing” these small hours.  Thankfully someone else was mistaken as the song is actually called Little Wonders by Rob Thomas.
 

I admit I just cried like a baby when I read the lyrics… from happiness.  I love crying in happiness… it’s is probably my favorite emotion.

To you, Mr. Magnificent, the calling of this song is… but of course.

Today is the Blue Galactic Hand:  we are guided by the monkey’s playful magic to find healing in knowing all you have accomplished.  Harmonize your presence by being the model of integrity.  Use your intuition to be at the right place in the right time.

I think I am going to watch this again and cry some more.    I've decided to follow the monkey and give myself the day off.  Have fun!

Refining death

The White Resonant Worldbringer, the symbol of refining death.  Today we are guided by our reflection to find endlessness (did you ever see Watership Down with the two mirrors facing each other to give us a picture of infinity?)  and bring about opportunity.  Face your fears by considering the universe and find power in the creation of a new vision.  Feel deeply and adjust your beliefs.

Death is a moment of awakening and opportunity.  Put in the past those ghosts that haunt and serve no purpose.  If you have not learned your lesson from them by now, then today you should.  Prepare for an awakening.

Ahhhh…

I found myself counting backwards from 100 last night to put myself to sleep, but when that ended quickly, I thought I’d try the backwards alphabet.  After six times of doing that, I decided to just lay there.  That was at 3 am and after four Valerian.

The ideas just keep coming, and I love it… but I can’t seem to shut them off.  If this were reality TV, you’d soon expect to see me in a melt down, running half crazed down the street waving a loaf of bread in my hand.   But I won’t.  At least I’d open a bottle of wine first.

Oh cool.  Now I am going to make more sense.

Time for the Mayan forecast:Today is the Red Rhythmic Serpent.  (You will soon begin to notice a pattern.)  Guided by itself, it is the day for intuition and being present in the moment.  The Serpent is life force, survival and instinct.  Within the tone of organization and balance we can find equality.

With that cats and kittens, I’m off to work.

Seeds of Creation

I can claim more accomplishment than restful sleep. 

I am driven to the point of over-thinking which could readily create missteps.  My need to press on, however, is indeed instinctive… like a call from the wilds.  Finding a place of No Mind inside creation… interesting.

So we turn to the Mayan daily calendar.   Yellow Overtone Seed

Ah, the seed.  Working in the garden these last years has taught me a lot about seeds and bearing fruit.  I used to have such a spoiled attitude about the harvest.  Without having planted any seeds and little effort placed on the attendance of those springing up on their own, I expected a full bounty. 

I consider the societal upbringing to have some basis in that conception.  With the use of magic money our houses become full of items from all over the world and we don’t need to know the skill which created any of it.  We don’t even need to appreciate it.  We just need to want it, pay for it, and vwallah…  magic.

There is something to that, I know… but we are missing fundamental ingredients.  Thought and desire alone do not bring about creation. 

The subconscious dreams with the conscious care for the seed… the seeds of creation.

the Sound of my own Voice

I have so many magnificent ideas I believe it is going to take me a year to re-create my website.  That… and I am no web designer nor have I acquired any particular talent in visual arts.  But I am an idea generator and DAMN do I have a lot of them… and (said in the voice of Jack Black as Kung Fu Panda) of course they are all brilliant, so, you know… I gotta do them all. 

I love cartoons.  I was in someone’s house the other day just eyeing on their shelf all the worlds of possibilities!  From cuddly monsters to infinity and beyond!  Does it get any better?

So … ahh… Besame Mucho…  first song I was serenade to when I got to Playa.  This guitar player just walked up to my table and started playing and at the end the tables were applauding.  Damn.  And my girlfriend is there right now without offering to swing by from Amsterdam to put me in her suitcase.  Some people are so selfish.

I am dreaming of time and place.  So close.  I can almost reach it.  I’ll need to keep my conversations with Rodney a bit shorter, though.  He gets me so distracted that before you know it I am watching Kung Fu Panda for the third time.  Or is it fourth?  The really sick part is… I keep getting those Ah ha! moments from it.  Like I shouldn’t have gotten them all the first time?

So is anyone out there?  No comments on yesterday.  I feel so alone.  It’s a good thing I like the sound of my own voice… so much so I am going to do audio recordings of the gazette.  But that’s after the website.
 
First thing first is this blog and now I must close with the Mayan Signature of the day.

The Red Lunar Dragon, guided by space.  Trust your heart and share your dreams.  Find playfulness and you will do well by looking within.

Check.  Check.  Check.
Now I’m off to play with dragons and the monkey on my back.

Kisses,

End of a Series

Today is the White Crystal Mirror, a day for reflection that is to be guided by our hearts to free ourselves from hubris and judgment of others.  It is a day of clarity in recognition that we are all born and create an existence through our choices. 

And it is the day for end our series on Change, which could not be more appropriate.
When I began this series, I instinctively felt there was a message that needed to shared, but I had no idea how much it would change my own life.  Fear has melted away.

Patience and promise have replaced it.

As always, I am excited to hear how it has affected you.  What insights you have received.. has it brought acceptance and greater peace?

I am not the greatest self promoter (I’m working on that), so please feel free to pass on my information to others.  I know they will thank you for it.

The next series is on Intuition… and I could not be more excited.  Great things are coming.

Profound Answers

Today is the Red Spectral Earth, a day to be guided by release and the acceptance of one’s choices to find yourself doing, becoming, thinking the right thing at the right time.

I have actually been doing a lot of this lately and interestingly enough, it was the thought I mulled over this morning as I was lying in bed.  I have made many difficult decisions that resulted in a much longer and bumpier road than I would have liked…  but I have certainly had my fair share of fun, too,and I will not complain.  I recognize now, as I did then, how truly fortunate I have been… safe, cared for, with all my needs met while I wrestled the holds of our society. 

I have been a philosopher, esentially, my whole life, quietly testing the fabric of our beliefs.  I remember at19, sitting in a Jacuzzi with some of my apartment neighbors and boldly making the statement that I would write a book entitled “The World As I See It.”

I have continually questioned why people limit themselves, and perhaps I have spent these many years doing just that, so I could learn what it takes to break free.  It is now I realize the implications of this path to be more profound than I could have believed.

As I finish this series on Change, and begin to explore Intuition…  I see…  

Now I properly claim the title.  I, Victoria Crystal, am a Philosopher.  I have found Peace.

Not dead... yet

I find it interesting that although we are all part of this human experience, we find mistakes humiliating.  

My daughter has had this tag line as her email signature for years now:  “I have not failed, I've just found 10,000 ways that don't work.”          - Thomas Alva Edison   I love her for this.  And while I accept this as truth, I still find ways to be hard on myself.  

There is that fire burning for everything to come together quickly and perfectly as evidence to my own perfection.  When will I give that up?  I certainly hold no one else to that standard.  As I sit here, I can smile and say “soon”. 

Mistakes mean living, learning, curiosity for something new…

Finding out that Steve Jobs died and then listening to the speech he made six years ago at Stanford, a lot of thoughts run through my mind.  I wonder how many students there that day actually took his advice or even understood what he was actually saying? 

We cannot walk in someone else’s shoes.  We can only consider as if.

I have thought of dying a lot.  Not morbidly.  I have no desire to die. I have no desire to cheat death either… but I do have an honest desire to live to 473 years on this earth.  People laugh at me when I say that, but genetically speaking, there is no reason why I shouldn’t.   

If I die sooner, I’ve allowed myself to be talked into something.  If I die sooner, you can know that I have no real regrets.  I have been following my curiosity and my intuition… and with that, my heart.

I have certainly found more than 10,000 ways that did not work, but the ones that do have more than made up.  My children are my crowning jewels… with the millions of mistakes I have made raising them and the zillions of mistakes they will hopefully make in their life… nothing to me could be more perfect... and perhaps with that I have just found my perfection.

I have been on a mission to find a better way.  Thank you for the company...

Is that a Marriage Proposal?

It has been a crazy few days and BP (aka Will) has disallowed me from posting blogs on the weekends because he said I need to take time off.  That having been said, we worked hard on the website all weekend but yesterday I really did need to take the day off.  

*

But it brings me to crazy moment.

Saturday night, after working hard on the website all day, BP and I went out to dinner.  It’s a local place within walking distance (just the way I like it!).  We’ve been there three times (since I just moved to the neighborhood), and already we are getting to know everyone mainly because Will and I are both social butterflies, chatting with all of our neighbors.  

*

Will and I get along really well; laughing all the time, inspiring each other, working like fiends.  When we get to the restaurant, everyone can tell we have a certain chemistry.  So it wasn’t too surprising when the owner’s wife asked if we were married.  When I said no, she asked if we were brother and sister… huh?

*

When I said no again she gave me a wink and walked away.  It did not take long before she stood before Will, her hand on her hip.  “So when are you going to put a ring on her finger?”  … huh?

*

We both laughed off the awkwardness but did not correct her.  I believe we could tell that admitting anything to this woman would bring a lot of personal meddling.  But I was amazed that she did not let up and began pushing Will for an answer. Will and I played at her game and I sat there looking wistfully at my finger.  Before long, several people had chimed in and were either telling Will to hurry or asserting that I could rest in the knowledge that Will was sure to put a ring on my finger soon.  ...huh?

*

Will and I laughed all the way home, mainly because, well... we aren’t even dating.  

*

But we had to imagine… what if we were?  Can you believe the pressure Will would be under right now?  Our relationship would be on the brink of collapse! We couldn’t stop laughing that night as I tapped my foot on the kitchen floor with a mock pouty face asking why I wasn’t special enough for him.   

*

It is hard enough maintaining civility as friends and business partners when our creative juices flow in opposite directions.  Add relationship to our list of things to do and our passion would turn to punches.  But seriously, it brings me back to a key philosophy of mine:  Show, explain, but never push.  I decide my life, you decide yours.
