In order to be able to properly handle great power of the Spirit one must prove that one is un-corruptible. Its taken many years of testing to prove over and over that I am worthy of the power from the universe that I seek. The tests never seem to end, but with each passing of the tests I grow stronger and graduate to new levels of honor in the sight of the Living Spirit.
Lets face it: death may come to any of us at any moment. I feel the wise will always be as prepared as possible for that ultimate encounter. I want to die in the process of doing something wonderful and I have been refining the ultimate final thought I intend to hold at the moment of my death. I intend to die with the proverbial totality of myself at my beck and call and I intend to live with that same totality. So I refine my thoughts to the point of always being ready for death to tap me. As I strive to live as though I will die in the next moment the best of me rises to the surface of my character. When I live as though I have all the time in the world the sloppy, careless and most worthless in me takes over. Truly I am at my best when I face life as though I am going to die at any moment and the refining of my thoughts all aim towards the expression of what I feel is the ultimate mood to consistently sustain in life.
To me, this picture is like a proverbial finger pointing to the moon. I feel this mood is the entranceway to the best energy the Living Universe has to offer. Its like a doorway for me and many are the times I meditate using a mirror and the cover of this magazine. I strive to emulate the mood and hold it. As I do in a short time my whole world is transformed in that my interpretation of reality and the thoughts I am holding conform to the mood of my expression. Something shifts within me. For lack of a better term I call this something The Assemblage Point. The don Juan terminology is sufficient enough to describe what happens as the mood of the energy I draw from the Living Universe shifts. As a matter of fact to the right of the computer, on my drummers throne, is a copy of the magazine and in front of the Roland TD-10 electronic virtual drum set is a big mirror. Every once in a while as I type I glance at the picture and the mirror and strive to maintain The Mood.
Call me crazy, if you like. After reading Arnolds strategy towards success along with the counterpoint balance of the strategies of James Cameron, don Juan and others I feel confident that I am heading in the right general direction for the success I am attracting in life.
