Occupy Yourself

by martyfogs on November 14, 2011

The Occupy movement raises consciousness in a non-violent way.

It has the potential to use a powerful form of expression to shift the future of our world.

But an even more powerful possibility is for us to occupy ourselves… us holding the space of higher standards of humanity.

If I want to stop a war – I need to stop the war within me. If I want to change corporate greed – I need to dethrone my own greed.

If I want to up-end the corporate expansion machine – I need to unhook my own conumption addiction.

If I want my govenment to be more humane and less wasteful – then it starts with me.

Outer change comes from inner change.

Ghandi’s prayer was to “be the change you wish to see in the world.” that holds true today.

Everything OK?

by martyfogs on July 22, 2011

Could it be that everything really is OK? … and that our worrying does nothing productive for us?

Could it be that we’re actually being supported far beyond what we’re capable of even conceiving in our tiny minds, and that filling our minds with the horrors of how it could fall apart doesn’t serve us?

Maybe it really is OK.

Maybe we are enough, just as we are, right now, and for just a moment, we could accept ourselves for where we are right now, in this moment.

City Walls

July 21, 2011

In the not so distant past, people lived together in cities, and put up huge walls for protection from invading forces that threatened their way of life. The walls don’t exist today; but the invading forces are still present. Today, our version of city walls are the agreements we make and keep with ourselves. Its [...]

Thoughts

July 12, 2011

Thoughts are lenses: filters we use to experience reality through. We don’t get a choice as to what thoughts pop into our heads and on our radar screens. They show up as a result of what we’ve experienced and what we’ve exposed ourselves to. We have a choice in terms of what we expose ourselves [...]

Starting Over

July 11, 2011

There’s real power in starting over. But in our over the top all-or nothing way of always doing… we miss the point that the real power isn’t starting over the big thing: the school year, the relationship, the job. The real power is in starting over the small things: this train of thought currently hijacking [...]

Be Live … Believe

June 12, 2011

Could it be that what I “be” is what I live and that I “be – live” my life into existence by what I “believe”? What are the tiny little beliefs I hold? These thousands of tiny beliefs become our root system – anchoring us in place – nurturing us with nutrients that only these [...]

A single raindrop

June 10, 2011

It forms in the sky, miles above the earth, a single drop of liquid, something visible made from the invisible, at the right time the formative stage ends, and its pulled toward earth … consistent with its purpose, free-falling at rising speed and no control or care, it reaches its perfect destination with a thud, [...]

Buying a new mirror

June 9, 2011

The results in our lives are reflections of the internal concepts we’ve bought into. We make little internal agreements with ourselves like: “I’m not worthy” “I don’t deserve that” “Better not get too big for my britches” “They think I’m weird”… These little agreements are the mirror we create for ourselves. Our circumstances are the [...]

X-ray’s

June 6, 2011

We can’t see X-ray’s – but we can use them in a way that produces a predictable outcome. We can’t see the invisible value patterns we need to follow to produce a predictable economic result… but we can identify them – align with them – and the predictable outcome will follow. The invisible creates the [...]
