EXPERIENCING THE SHIT…

Uncategorized

“The wound is where the Light enters you.” -Rumi

As I was laying on the floor a few moments ago, listening to “Glass Jar” by Tristan Prettyman, a montage of an ex, whom I still love, and myself began to run through my mind. As the notes of the guitar played images flooded my mind of me holding her, of us arguing in the kitchen, of her upset with me because of my actions, with me abruptly and childishly leaving the bed to sleep on the couch, and I realized…Ah Ha!! All these experiences have given rise to the beauty-full relationship I now desire.

Each one of those experiences with this person caused me to want more. With every unwanted situation, contrast, I unconsciously shot a rocket of desire for that which I DID want to experience. For every argument, I desired to experience a person who understood my opinion…for every yelling match, I desired to have an open-ended discussion…for every night going to bed angry, I desired to go to bed in love…for every unexpressed feeling, I desired to have a verbally-open partner. With every unwanted situation I unconsciously told the Universe exactly what I DID want to experience.

It is our job as creators, as extensions of God, as extensions of the One, to experience the contrast in this reality and from there be cognizant of what we DO wish to experience and hold that as our dominant thought and intention. With every experience of not having enough money, we tell the Universe that we want to have more money. With every experience of feeling fat or unattractive, we tell the Universe we want to feel fit and healthy. With every unwanted fight with our partner, we tell the Universe we want to experience more Love and affection with our partner.

We don’t create abundance by talking about all the bad situations we are experiencing, about all the lackful experiences we are having, with how ugly we feel, because the Universe will give us more of the essence of those thoughts…more experiences to make us feel lost, or poor, or ugly…because the Universe simply mimics what we send out through our thoughts. Once we experience those situations we then know exactly what we do want…to be grounded, financially abundant, and beautiful.

The trick to manifestation is holding our inner sight to that which we are wanting to experience. “As is your sight, so is your creation.” “That which is like unto itself is drawn.” “The rich get rich the poor get poorer.”

As we hold our dominant thoughts to that which we are wanting to experience and having positive expectation about the manifestation of those things they then show up in our experience. As we have faith and believe that the Universe is providing us exactly what we are holding as our dominant thoughts, we then see proof that we are Creators of our own realities. We are the Universe experiencing Itself. As we hold true to our inner sight, as we believe that which we are wanting is already ours, the Universe then moves through us in the form of inspiration so that It may experience Itself in the form of those manifested experiences. It aligns all things, people, circumstances, so that It may experience Itself through you.

And it all happened as the result of experiencing the contrast, the unwanted. Do not get stuck up on what has happened in the past, for they are gifts for what you can Now experience in your present. You are an extension of the One Creative Principle and you are Divine. Remember that the experiences we may call, the shit, is all part of allowing you to remember how incredibly Power-full you are as an extension of Source. You are here to experience ALL of life, and from that choose what you are wanting to experience. Remember who you are, and what you are capable of, for that is what you came here to do.

THIS MOMENT, NOW…

Uncategorized

I’m not sure how I see this post going. I have many things pulsing through my mind and heart but I want to share what I am feeling with those of you who choose to read this. I just have watched 4 videos entitled “My Last Days” on YouTube. During these videos I cried, I remembered, but most of all I was inspired.

These videos chronicle individuals who have been diagnosed with terminal illnesses, mostly forms of cancer. As most of you know me, I am a cancer survivor. Each one of these individuals’ stories I can resonate with. I can remember being in the hospital room waiting for test results to come back, I can remember hearing the news I would do anything to forgo, I can remember being scared of the 50/50 chance I was given, but most importantly I can remember saying to myself, “When I am finished with this I KNOW nothing can stop me and I will live my life to the fullest!”

But each time I watch one of these videos I recognize how truly limited I am living. How I am NOT living my life to the fullest. I am not sharing my story with the world and helping others to see that full healing is possible. I am not ALWAYS living with an open heart and looking into the eyes of my brothers and sisters to reduce their suffering. I am not always living to the full potential I am capable of.

However, each time I watch these videos I am also reminded that that is why I am here. I am here for a reason far bigger than my conscious understanding…we all are. I was given a Divine gift in the form of not only having cancer, but of overcoming it. I have a perspective of life and death that so few of us can conceive. We, myself included, go through life with the idea that we’re in it all alone, that the world is testing us and trying to hurt us, that we are isolated on our own little island…which could not be farther from the truth.

These videos always remind me to take THIS VERY MOMENT, RIGHT NOW, and change the world! They remind me to take the steps forward to give my deepest gifts to humanity, even if I can’t see the path clearly. They remind me that THIS MOMENT, NOW, is the only moment I will ever have and to give my Heart to all who will receive it. They remind me that the time for taking chances, for leaping into unknown waters, and for doing what my Heart calls me to do is not tomorrow, it is not next week, it is not when God has aligned everything, it is THIS MOMENT, NOW. THIS MOMENT, NOW, I can take those steps and allow God to carry me with Her as she Lights the path of Love for me.

THIS MOMENT, NOW, is the time to tell your long lost lover that you have been thinking of him/her…THIS MOMENT, NOW, is the time to consciously decide that you will live true to your deepest heart and follow your bliss…THIS MOMENT, NOW, is the time to make the choice to eat health-fully and move your body in Nature…THIS MOMENT, NOW, is the time to choose LOVE. NO matter who you meet, no matter what they have done to you, no matter who they are, you will choose to gaze upon them with a full heart and an open Spirit and envelope them in your giving. No matter what has happened in your past you will choose to believe that the Divine Creative Principle is always guiding you to live your deepest truth and experience joy.

THIS MOMENT, NOW, is the time to remember why we are here. The bills will come and go, the money will come and go, the friends will come and go, the lovers will come and go, but THIS MOMENT, NOW, we can choose to remember our purpose. THIS MOMENT, NOW, we can decide if we want to look at all the rubble piling on top of us, or focus on the unlimited blessings in our experience. THIS MOMENT, NOW, we can let our minds wander to the “what if’s” and “should have’s,” or direct our thoughts to the “I will’s” and “I AM.”

THIS MOMENT, NOW, is the only moment any of us will ever get. All of life exists NOW, not yesterday, not tomorrow, NOW. Remembering that empowers us, it reminds us that THIS MOMENT, NOW, is where we have the ability to choose where we go from here…we don’t have to know all the steps we will take to get there, but we have the Power to take the first step. THIS MOMENT, NOW, empowers us to be thankful for all the experiences that have led us to this very moment, summoning Life through us through our desires, so that we may live true to our deepest purpose. THIS MOMENT, NOW, gives us the chance to remember that we are the embodiment of Love, and we have the choice to feel that Love or resist it.

I hope that those of you who read this, also watch the video I post. We are here to experience the unending Bliss of our NOW experiences. Remember who You are, look deeper into your Heart, You are Source in a physical extension…live true to that in THIS MOMENT, NOW.

All My Love,

WHEN…?

Uncategorized

It has been some time since I have decided to write, but tonight I ask myself…When will we come together as a collective and no longer allow our differences to cause us to fight one another? When will we look into each other’s hearts and see each other as family instead of getting lost on our appearances? When will we take our sight beyond the beliefs we have been taught and recognize our Infinite connectedness?

I ask myself this, and I ask all of you this, because our inability to let go of old beliefs that we have been taught by parents, family members, friends, elders, TV, radio, magazines, etc., are tearing us apart. Diversity is so beautiful on this Earth and yet we refuse to look at the beauty in it! Jesus said, “In order to be the Christ you must see the Christ in every face, in every form.” We must take our perception beyond what we have been taught, we must take our perception beyond what we have allowed ourselves to believe with our intellect, and allow ourselves to believe what we know in our hearts.

This Earth experience is here for us to experience God in every form…whether that be rain, clouds, sunshine, trees, wind, flowers, grass, rocks, sand, water, dogs, cats, elephants, birds, white people, black people, weird people (that’s most of us 😉 ), tall people, short people, English-speaking people, Spanish-speaking people, Blond people, brunette people, all of it is God!

We have forgotten that we are all united with the Great Creative Principle, God. Although it seems that we are separate from each other and God, we are truly all united, far more than we could ever comprehend with our intellect. We must look for perfection and Divinity in every form so that we may unify! So that we may remember why we are here as spiritual beings having a human experience! So that we walk through life with purpose and kindness always.

When do you think this will occur? When do you think our time will come to unite as a collective? The only time can be now! It can not be in a year, or ten years, or one hundred years, or never as some would say. We must start NOW to see each other as brothers and sisters of the same Divine family! All the great mystics, prophets, and Masters have always said we must treat each other as brothers and sisters for we are all the embodiment of Divinity. We are truly One.

Each day we must walk with a Presence that honors ALL the beauty of this life experience! Although a person’s actions or words may not seem to represent Divinity to you, continue to look upon those individuals, your brothers and sisters, with an undying Love. You must find that Light within you that will shine through any darkness and BE the Light for the collective! As you walk with such clarity and move with Divine guidance the heavens will be yours! They have always been ours without our understanding, but NOW is the time for remembrance! NOW is the time for the realization that we are all fingers of the hand of God. That your “enemy” deserves Love just as much as your friend because of our spiritual unity.

The time has come to release all old beliefs that have kept us restricted from realizing this Truth. Time has come to look beyond the skin color, the language, the clothing choices, the differences, and realize that these are all beauty-full extensions of the One. That diversity is beauty-full and meant to be cherished because it is all but God. We are here not to tolerate each other, but to Love each other unendingly. For in that Love we uplift the whole of the collective One.

I ask you to ask yourself, “Is it worth it for me to condemn someone because of his/her beliefs, actions, words, because they are not like mine? Can I accept and Love others although we do not look the same or have the same likes and interests? Will I choose Love or fear?” These are very important questions that we must ask ourselves in order that we may understand who we truly are and begin to change the world through the life we live. You are capable, you are beauty-full, I Love You. Let us come together and choose Love.

All My Love,
Zach IAM

The Thing About Faith Is…

Hello My Lovelies,

Wanted to share something that came to me tonight!

All My Love,

Recognize Your Attachments and Breath INTO Them

Uncategorized

So tonight I had a very in-depth experience in certain attachments I hold very strong to based on certain images. And as soon as these emotions, based upon these images, came flooding up I found myself wanting to fight them. Instead I heard, “Acknowledge them…accept them.” And so I FELT them without pushing against them.

I can write to you all, my beauty-full brothers and sisters, as much as I want and give you advice…but tonight I recognized why I write to you. As I write to you, I write to myself. As I share with you and ask to question your beliefs, I share with myself and question my own beliefs. Tonight as I experienced the attachments I still hold very strong to, I realized that it is so much more fun to experience, truly experience, letting go. We have attachments, we have desires, and we have emotions attached to those desires. If the desire is not fulfilled the way we think it should be, we suffer. We hold on to how things “should be,” rather than looking deeper and realizing that they should be exactly as they are beyond our sight and within our hearts.

I hear often how “beyond my years” I am or how “awakened” I am, but in all honesty I am learning and growing consciously every day just as you are learning and growing every day. Life is truly about growing from where we are based on what we’ve learned to where we feel we are in our hearts.

Sometimes when I say or write things they make absolutely no sense to me, but when I re-read them I think, “Ah Ha!”

Now back to topic. When you see someone who has your perfect body and you feel sad, or when someone has the money you want and you become angry, or when someone you’re interested in has a girlfriend or boyfriend, acknowledge the emotion you’re feeling. Where do you feel the tensing of your body? Do you feel it in your heart? Do you feel it in your stomach? Does your throat tighten up? Does your breath get shallow? What does it feel like when you experience those emotions based on the attachment you have?

When you acknowledge the attachment that is the first step to freedom. You don’t have to wallow in the emotion and start getting yourself all worked up, simply acknowledge it exists, feel it in your body, recognize the thought you have at that time, close your eyes, and breathe into that area of your body. Say, “Okay, my heart hurts and my stomach is upset because I see this person with the body I want. I am thinking how I’ll never get to that body.” From there, close your eyes and breathe fully into your belly and chest expanding everything while saying to yourself, “In the deepest space of my heart I know my desires are fulfilled and I release all attachments to that desire. I have full faith that Spirit supports me in all ways.”

Now is this going to get rid of everything? Hell to the NO!!! 😉 I’m not promising you that you’ll get rid of the attachment fully! But I do promise that you will feel better and you will soon release yourself from the attachment. It takes some time to let go of the attachments you have built up within your mind and the response you have in your temple, however as you PRACTICE this more and more the emotional attachments will soon dissolve. Yes, it is a PRACTICE.

Do I have attachments? ABSOLUTELY!!! Who do you think I am?! 😉 What I have LEARNED to do is simply allow the attachment as it is and breathing into it. And through that breath and awareness I am more able to allow it to dissolve.

What I wanted to convey in this message is…accept that you have attachments, and recognize that they simply exist in your mind. As you recognize them and learn to breathe INTO them they no longer have power over you. You are no longer saddened by the smell of certain food, or the image of person, you are free to live the life you envision for yourself. You are free to experience life as it is rather than how your attachments distort it. You are FREE. You are now the director of your life, the experiencer of Love, and the director of Light.

Hope you enjoyed a message to myself 😉

All My Love,
Zach IAM

Thank You Zach…For Showing Me How To Live

Uncategorized
Tonight I am writing this for no one but myself. Typically I like to share messages and inspiration that I have recognized as a Universal Truth, but tonight I am simply writing for me.

I watched a video tonight of a young man who returned to Non-Physical from cancer yesterday. If any of you who read this would like to watch it I thoroughly recommend it, as it allows you to look at life in a completely different perspective. The video is of a young man named Zach Sobiech, who was diagnosed with osteosarcoma and given 6 months to live. The video is beauty-fully touching and the way this beauty-full soul lived his life reminded me of how to live mine.

Those of you who read these usually know that I tend to see the world a little differently than most. I see things with my heart and not my mind, yet that means in no way that I always practice what I preach. I do my absolute best to live the life I so deeply know is meant for all of us and that I write, speak, and act about but I get off track quite often as well.

Zach Sobiech, truly inspired me tonight through the way he lives his life. Although he has returned to the Non-Physical, he so eloquently reminded me of my own journey to where I am. In watching the video I continually was drawn to tears but the sadness and fear of loss in his family’s hearts, the same sadness and fear that I once witnessed in my own family’s hearts. Zach reminded me to JUMP! He reminded me, he made me FEEL, and he showed me how I want, and know, how to live life.

I can remember staring out the window of the hospital room knowing I would get out, and somewhere within me felt I had a large purpose, but unable to do anything I previously did. I couldn’t run, I couldn’t jump, I couldn’t play basketball, I could hardly walk 1/4 of a mile without being exhausted, and I told myself I would LIVE my life. Yet, as I sit here right now writing this, I continue to question if I am truly living the life I imagined for myself?

Sure I help people by training them, sure I help anyone I possibly can, sure I do my best to bring a smile to everyone’s face, but do I take command of my life with full faith that Source is supporting my decisions? Not always. Do I leap when I so dearly want to jump? Not always. Do I have full faith in my ability to affect people’s lives? Not always. Am I doing the things I told myself I wouldn’t let pass me by when I was healthy again? Not always…and not nearly enough.

I continue to push off each moment and say, “Oh the time wasn’t right. I’ll wait for next time.” But what if there is NO NEXT TIME?! I know exactly what it is to wonder if there ever will be a next time, many of us have. And yet I continue to find myself falling back in to comfortablitity. I continue to succumb to the fear of rejection, succumb to the, “Oh, it just doesn’t feel right.” When in all Truth I was just too afraid to leap, to afraid to trust, to afraid to LIVE.

Today, Zach has become my hero. Today, my dear brothers and sisters who returned to Non-Physical once again reminded me that, although we are Eternal beings, I still must jump no matter how scary it may seem. Today they reminded me that my life purpose is exactly what I say it is. Today they reminded me that I must always be true to my heart, speak from my heart, act from my heart, and live from my heart. They reminded me that I am still here for a reason! They reminded me that rejection never lasts, but uplifting the hearts of others always will.

Zach’s message was that of this day, this hour, this minute, this moment and to live fully from this moment!!! Do not hesitate to experience life…the time will never be right! The time is never going to be right for me to ask a girl out, the time will never be right to buy a car, the time will never be right to ask for a promotion, the time will never be right…because the only right time is always NOW! Now is the time for honesty, Now is the time for kindness, Now is the time for leaping, Now is the time for acting, Now is the time for singing, and dancing, and…and…and…and…and for Love! It is right Now! Zach reminded me of that!

I am so grateful to Zach and for sharing his journey. I am so grateful for all my brothers and sisters who have returned Home and yet continue to guide me so that I may fulfill OUR purpose. I am so grateful for those of you who read these and find Your Truth amidst them. I am grateful for this moment Now…I am grateful because I’ve once again remembered how to LIVE through the inspiration of another. I’ve remembered what truly being the Light looks like! Thank you Zach…thank you so much for your Light, for your beauty, and for your Love!

With ALL My Love,
Zach IAM

 

Here is Zach’s story:

Claim Your Divine Right…Now

Uncategorized

Hello my Lovelies,

I am sitting here looking out the window, enjoying the birds fly around, tasting the delicious flavor of my weekly vegan burrito, and my attention is brought to my dear little brother,Trevor, who I just went to see at the hospital and who is still there unable to talk, exhausted, with his head perched upon his hands, a pose I know all too well from my past.

As I sit here Divinity whispers in my ear, “You are are here now my child, you can taste, you can see, you can walk, you are strong, you are sharing OUR message.”

I write this to ask you where you are? While you are eating are you truly eating or is your mind among your worries? While you are walking are you feeling the earth below your feet or are you concerned with your tasks that lay ahead? While you are speaking with a friend or lover are you experiencing them in their brand new presence or are you frustrated about your work day and how difficult it was 5 hours ago?

I ask these questions because these moments remind me that I am here now, for all the times I should have died and for all the reasons I should be dead, I am here now. YOU are here now. You have overcome obstacles greater than you ever realized that you could climb over. Yet with all the Power that we know we truly are, we deny it.

We question our strength and wherewithal, and succumb to the illusory fears we have been told to accept. Do not question your Power, do not question your Divinity, listen to the Voice-without-sound and remember who you are.

Remember that although it may seem hard you are always supported by Spirit. That even though it may be difficult it could always be worse. You could be forced to reside in a hospital where you can barely lift your head. You are here now free to experience the world, free to experience the whole Universe exactly as you choose.

Be grateful for the gift of this present moment. Be grateful for the ability to smile and dance. Be grateful for the ability to read this and to do whatever it is you so choose. And as you feel that gratitude and Power, be strong enough to act with it filling your heart!

Claim your right as an extension of God to experience the totality of life. Claim your right to spread Love everywhere and to recognize Divinity within every form! Claim your right to BE Happiness, to BE Truth, to BE Love. Claim your right to be the gift to the world that you truly are! Do not just exist my friends, Live Life with a heart full of Presence and gratitude!

With All My Love,
Zach IAM

What Are You Running From?

Uncategorized

Hello My Lovelies,

I have a simple question to ask those reading this…WHAT ARE YOU RUNNING FROM?

Honestly, this is a question for my more “spiritual” friends, but what are you running from? No, actually this is a question for anyone who is now reading this…what are you running from? I see it so often…I want happiness, I want peace, I want a family, I want a loving relationship, I want to be in the 5th dimensional experience, but in the midst of that beauty-full glorious asking I really hear…I don’t want to be sad anymore, I don’t want to be stressed anymore, I am tired of being single, I am tired of being treated like dirt, I am tired of the 3rd dimension.

Now these things are completely fine and well, this reality is made to inspire wanting from all of us, wanting so that we may express the beauty-full bounty that is waiting for us to claim is ours…but why do you keep running?

Why are you tired of this 3rd dimension? Why are you tired of being single? Why are you tired of being unhappy? Do you ever ask yourself that question or do you just constantly avoid finding those answers? Do you ever wonder that possibly you are creating that very thing which you are running from? Do you ever wonder if these contrasting experiences are all gifts so that you may become stronger spiritually and in your faith that you are Spirit?

Many people say, I couldn’t possibly have manifested this dis-ease, I could possibly have manifested this car accident, I couldn’t possibly have manifested me hurting my foot, but in all truth you did! You are the creator of your life! No one else has any power over you. The universe simply responds to what you are asking for spiritually. If you are craving excitement, the universe will respond. If you are craving passion, the universe will respond. If you are craving joy, the universe will respond. However, it all depends on the perception you have of the circumstances you are given. It all depends on you!

Now back to the topic, these circumstances are not to be avoided. They are gifts in the form of contrast. In finding yourself unhappy, you can turn your attention towards that which makes you happy. In finding yourself lonely, you can turn your attention towards your image of your perfect relationship.

You will not out-run a tiger, it will always catch you and eventually kill and eat you. Instead, turn  towards the tiger, treat it with Love, with unwavering faith that Spirit will protect you, pet the tiger, give it a few kisses, and then continue on your journey. Do you see?

Recognize that you chose, as a spiritual entity, to embody YOUR body and experience this reality. This was not forced upon you! Nobody held your arm and said, “You will go to earth and you will suffer because that is how it is!” Doesn’t that sound silly?! An omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient being would do that? I don’t know about you but that may be the most absurd thing I’ve ever heard.

You are an extension of God! You are a finger on the hand of God. You came with the intent to experience the contrast of life! To experience the full spectrum of human emotion! You came with the intent to remember that you are a gloriously Divine extension of Source with all the Power that Source possesses! You came with the intent to get dirty and nasty and gritty and cry and laugh and freaky and weird and shake shit up and dance in the rain and….AND JUST TO GET REAL FREAKY NAUGHTY!!! You did not come to play it safe! The lies you were taught to believe about this “one life and that’s all you get” non-sense couldn’t be farther from the truth! You are Eternal! You are Light! You are God!

There is nothing humble about insulting your soul and making yourself believe you’re a sinner! There’s nothing humble about saying, “Oh I’m only human.” Damn right you’re human! You are an extension of the One! The One that is me, the One that is You, the One that is the tree, the dog, the tiger, the rose, the leaf, the cell, the molecule, the atom, You are that which is All-That-Is!!!

So now that you remember who you are, also remember that you didn’t come here to get somewhere else! You came here to experience the totality of life! You came here to have your heart-broken, crushed, stomped on, and torn apart, only to have it mended again by the recognition that it could never be broken, crushed, stomped on, or torn apart, that You have the power to BE Love, that you ARE Love! You didn’t come here to just be happy, you came to get rowdy, scared, fear-full, and depressed, only to remember that those were all illusions, that none of those existed for in your mind. You came to remember that You…Are…Love. You…Are…Happiness. You…Are…Joy.

So remember my brothers and sisters! Remember how bright and Power-full you are! Remember that is not about getting from here to there…because you are wherever you say you are. You are already where you want to be! You need not run from anything, because in running from it you are actually running to it. Find your Presence Now! Recognize that the happiness you seek is already yours! Recognize that the peace you seek is you! Recognize that the relationship you desire is here now! Recognize that your dream lover is already embracing you with their lips. Recognize that it is all now. All that you wish to experience is yours now, it always has been, waiting for you to simply realize it.

“A man once asked Buddha, ‘Buddha, I want more happiness. How do I attain more happiness.’ The Buddha looked at the man lovingly, ‘First remove ‘I’ that is ego, then remove ‘want’ that is craving, and you are left with happiness.”

With All My Love,

Message To All The Vegans

Uncategorized

Hello My Lovelies,

I am a vegan.

I have NOT been a vegan all my life. Since the age of 15, I have played with many lifestyles including raw vegan (about 4 times), paleo, vegetarian, and now I enjoy being a vegan. I have also ate like garbage. I ate candy every day until I was 14 and diagnosed with cancer. At 15 I learned what foods actually did to my body and went raw. However, no lifestyle “stuck” for me until now.

I consider myself a 50% raw vegan. As I have come to realize, my body temple is made of the earth and the stars, and so by putting nutrition in my temple that is picked directly from the earth, my temple feels stronger and more energetic. AT THIS POINT IN TIME, 50% raw vegan works for me physically, mentally, and spiritually.

What I’d like to tell all my vegan friends is…you weren’t always vegan!!!! 🙂 I was not always a vegan! I did not always have the desire to be vegan nor did my body thrive from being vegan at times! What this leads into is…let go of judging others based on their nutritional preferences!

All of my vegan friends say, “Well when you eat meat you are taking a life! You are making our animal brothers and sisters suffer!” And as much as I agree with those statements, YOU did not always possess that outlook. You did not always understand what was happening at slaughter houses. You did not always understand how much the animals were suffering. I say this because the lack of compassion vegans have for meat-eaters is what is causing many people to continue to eat meat! What you resist persists!

As a vegan, you have come to a point in the evolution of your soul that hurting another being no longer is justified so that you can eat it…I understand that. But to force another to be where you are just because you are there, is taking away from the other person’s soul expansion. Do you see that? You can’t force a meat-eater to stop eating meat, just like you can’t force a baby to walk. People must make a conscious decision to change and then take action to make that change. By having a long-haired, hemp-wearing person yell at them because they eat meat does not help them understand WHY it may be beneficial to go vegan. Nor is it a very positive example of what being vegan is about.

Also, how do you KNOW without a question of a doubt that veganism is right for everybody? How do you KNOW that is what the Creator wants at this time?! All you know is what is right for YOU at this time! You don’t know that each time an animal is killed their soul expands based upon the suffering they experienced and can reincarnate into a more peace-full form. You are getting lost in the physical and not recognizing that there is so much more expansion that is going on spiritually.

It is wonder-full that many vegans want to save the animals lives so that they can live a joyous life. It is wonder-full that so many vegans do their part to help the environment. It is wonder-full that so many vegans can evolve spiritually by not being part of the “meat-industrial complex.” 😉 But it is also important to remember that some people, based on where they are, need meat to sustain their forms. Their bodies crave meat because that is where they are vibrating spiritually. So maybe instead of condemning them, teach them to eat with presence so that they honor the Spirit of the animal and give thanks to the Spirit for sustenance.

Be compassionate my friends. The real shift in Consciousness is that from the ego to Unity. “Those meat-eaters” are every bit your brothers and sisters as the animals. “Those meat-eaters” are YOU! We are all extensions of the One Soul!!! In condemning “them” you condemn yourself…in Loving “them” you Love yourself.

“Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” ~Jesus

Zach IAM

How Much Are You Worth?

Uncategorized

Hello my Lovelies,

As a fitness trainer it becomes quite comedic, and also sad, at the excuses I hear for not either wanting to exercise, eat healthy, or simply even purchase a gym membership. It seems that society and all it’s entertainment tools have really caused the majority of humanity to become a lazy, uneducated, lazy, lazy, did I say lazy? culture.

As most of you who read these posts know that I do my best to always see the larger picture, but I hope that those of you who read this take this into consideration.

My first and most important question is, “How much are you worth?” Honestly…how much do you feel you and your body are worth? $50? $1,000? $1,000,000? Priceless? I ask this because I hear all the time, “Gyms are just so expensive!…Personal Training is just so expensive!!…Eating healthy is just so expensive and I don’t like cooking!!!” And my question to you is…”Well, are you and your body worth being expensive or are you and your body not worth much?”

This body that you have, this vessel, will be the vessel you carry with you forward into the rest of this life experience. The cells in your body will replicate daily. The food that you ingest will become those new cells. The daily exercise you partake in will make those cells become either lazy and weak or vibrant and strong. Those cells not only will be made from the food you consume, but the old cells will also be affected either beneficially or not so benefically by the food you consume.

Another question I’d like to ask is, “Do you know which foods allow your cells to be affected beneficially? Do you know what type of exercises and programming will allow your body to be affected beneficially?” If you do, congratulations, you’re in the 5% of people that actually LIKE their vessels. If you don’t but heard that a new herb will help you lose those 25 lbs instead of changing how you live your life, then do you boo boo.

If I sound cynical, then this message is coming across correctly. 😉 If you get sick where do you typically go? If your car breaks down where do you typically go? If you need your teeth cleaned where do you typically go? Do you get my point? 😉

Exercise comes in all forms! Dancing, yoga, basketball, soccer, football, crossfit, weight lifting, running, martial arts, playing tag, jumping on the jungle gym, so many modalities to be active! Why are there gyms? Because majority of the time those gyms have a variety of those modalities to choose from. But is $25/month too much to spend so that you can start moving your body again, and use it to experience life?

Is a few hundred dollars per month too expensive if the tools you will learn will help you live a more proficient life? Think about it? Truly think about it? “Is $500 worth gaining the knowledge I need so that I can help my body become the beauty-full vessel I’ve always wanted? I am worth $500 when the information I learn will allow me to live a fuller, more enjoyable, care-free life? Or will I just keep moseying around like I have been for the past 15 years being unhappy, sad, depressed, afraid of life, feeling gross in my vessel?”

Truly think about those questions! HOW MUCH ARE YOU WORTH?! If you knew that you were here in this Earth experience to run around, be playful, live WITH Nature, jump, dance, sing, frolic, sprint, fall down, roll around, bump your knee, do the splits, do a somersault, climb the trees, chase your beauty-full animal friends, wrestle, spin around, just all the amazing crazyily beauty-full experiences of being human, would $500 be worth doing those things again?

I know that you are priceless! I know that each and every one of you has not one dollar sign upon you because of Who You Are, Spirit! But your TV has caused you to forget that! Your commercials have caused you to forget how good eating from the earth feels! Your bibles and books have said you need to grow up, when you were BORN to play!! Your doctors have said, “It’s just part of getting old!” When deep within you you know that you are forever Eternal! That you are first and foremost a child of Source, yes…a CHILD! Not an adult of God! Not a grown-up of Source! A child!

In the eyes of the Creator you are forever priceless! The question is…are you willing to look at yourself as priceless? Are you willing to say, “Oh $25/month to go and play with some toys everyday so that I am living happily, of course!” Ask yourself how much you’re worth…when you find that number multiply it by Divine and you’ll have your answer!

I wish you all well so that you live your lives full of health and with the reminder of why you are here!! Live life like a game and no matter what the outcome, it will always have been worth it!!

All My Love,
Zach IAM
