This is What I’m Talking About!

I just got back from Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, and spending four nights watching Sammy Hagar perform at the Cabo Wabo Cantina, with Michael Anthony (of Chickenfoot and formerly of Van Halen), Vinnie Paul (Pantera) and Steve Harwell (Smashmouth), not to mention Sammy’s band, The Wabos, who totally kick ass.

It was more than a musical experience though, especially since after the first two shows, Sammy got sick, postponed the third show, and played the next two nights despite the fact that his voice was pretty much gone.

There’s something about Cabo.

It’s magic.

And many times when I go down there, I become infused with some sort of supernatural light that keeps coming out of me for months or sometimes for years. It’s as if that light attracts even more light into my life, like it did this morning, when I came across this article.

It’s about Carlos Santana’s spiritual connection with music, with God, with life. And it’s not written in esoteric concepts that the average person can’t understand–it’s presented in down-to-earth language that anyone can relate to. In other words, it gives us hope.

It’s interesting to me that I’d just returned from Cabo, met some wonderful people with whom I hope to work in order to get my message of hope out to more people (through my book), and then I come across this article. Coincidence? Not a chance. Light attracts light.

Enjoy.

Is Mick Jagger God? and Other Esoteric Theories

Since I started this blog, I’ve received emails from people with many different viewpoints—which I love, by the way, keep them coming. I consider each one. And although I may not always agree with you, that doesn’t make either of us wrong. It helps me define all over again, Who I Am. And you inspire me!

If you believe that Mick Jagger is God or that aliens are talking to you or that your religion—or lack of—is your salvation, and it’s made you a better person because of it—fantastic! If you’ve had a mystical experience while cleaning up dog poop in your backyard and it’s changed your life permanently and for the better—who am I to judge you?

What works for one person may not work for someone else. And as long as it affects your life in a positive way without hurting anyone, I figure it’s all good. I believe there are as many ways to enlightenment as there are people. We all have different needs and different life experiences we bring to the table.

My friend’s grandma, who was sharp as a tack well into her 100’s, said it best: “It doesn’t matter how you get up the mountain—by car, by foot, by bike or plane. It only matters that you get there.”

And the higher you climb that mountain, the more you’ll see things you couldn’t have seen from the ground, because at ground level, all you can see are the trees, the grass, and maybe the road upon which you’re standing. When you climb higher, there’s a very good chance that you may notice other roads previously obscured by the trees and vegetation at the bottom. You may even encounter animals that only live at higher altitudes. And you will be a better person for it because you will have seen things you never dreamed existed.

So very much like my spiritual journey.

The purpose of this blog is to present my readers with new ways of thinking about things that are important, because my mystical experience did that for me. In HUGE ways. And yet, what I speak are my truths. They may not be yours and that’s okay too.

Hopefully I will post something here at some point, that nudges your consciousness awake—even if just a little—whether it be through my words or someone else’s.

That’s my goal anyway.

We all have something to learn from one another.
