The Hummingbird

Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.
—The Buddha

It is difficult for me to concentrate on the present moment at times. Then there are times that I snap right into the present moment, sometimes because of an emergency, pain, joy, or an amazing sight. Animals remind me of the present moment as well.I keep seeing the hummingbird. A beautiful bird that I did not see a lot during my life on the East Coast, but that I was familiar with. In my phase of going to lots of botanicas, I became familiar with the hummingbird, which was associated with the oil called Chuparrosa. The hummingbird is assoiated with sex, love and marriage, so you know it is popular to those who know it!
Yesterday I saw a hummingbird on the street outside of a house. Today, I saw a hummingbird float right upto my window! I was amazed, excited, and immediately in the present moment.

Today thank the hummingbird for its reminder of the NOW. I thank that little hummingbird who floated right up to this window and blessed me with her presence and wisdom. I thank the world forhaving space to hold for such beautiful creatures.

An Indigo Rant: To be, or not to be: that is the question:

"To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep;
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep;
To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub;
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come."
-William Shakespeare, Hamlet 

I am having a lot of "to be or not to be" moments in my life lately.
And I think that is the one of the challenges of the Indigo individual.
We are attuned to both the visible and invisible world, and sometimes because of all the shadows in the visible world, it just seems like "why bother?"
To an extent, that is part of my own pattern. Like many indigo folks, I had a challenging childhood,
and had to become an adult way earlier than my physical body matured into being an
adult. Because of this maturation, I was able to do very well in school, learn how to read
people, and understand society from a very young age. I could see "it" all.

Now as I am in my actual adulthood, the challenge of having to be where I am, and not push myself into
a state I am not ready for is very difficult. Why can be so hard to be just where I am?
Because I am resisting it and have such high expectations for myself.

Indigo Dilemna #1: HIGH expectations
Sometimes we have been used to operatng from such high expectations, that one day we cannot
take it anymore and we have to submit to our being a human.
Why is being a human so hard?
Because for most indigos, we know ourself as spirit/soul/activist/teacher/etc before we know
ourself as a human.
The challenge is to enjoy our being human. Even amidst the corruption and shadows, part
of our dharma this lifetime is to be human and to enjoy it. For me, sometimes this is very
hard, and I can get pretty existential about things.
WHY BOTHER? WHY WHY WHY????
WHY?
I simply don't know. And that is why I ask those things, hoping that one day I will have
the answer. Today I settle in not knowing, but knowing I am human, have human needs
and wants, and I surrender to that.

PRAY FOR JAPAN...MARCH 31 @ 12pm (all time zones)

Dr. Emoto's Request for Assisting Japan:

Below is a special message from renowned Japanese
Scientist who brought attention to the power of thought/prayer
on water crystals. He has a special request for assistance
tomorrow noon...

To All People Around the World,

Please send your prayers of love and gratitude to water at
the nuclear plants in Fukushima, Japan!

By the massive earthquakes of Magnitude 9 and surreal
massive tsunamis, more than 10,000 people are still
missing…even now… It has been 16 days already since
the disaster happened. What makes it worse is that water
at the reactors of Fukushima Nuclear Plants started to
leak, and it’s contaminating the ocean, air and water
molecules of the surrou nding areas.

Human wisdom has not been able to do much to solve the
problem, but we are only trying to cool down the anger of
radioactive materials in the reactors by discharging water
to them.

Is there really nothing else to do?

I think there is. During over twenty year research of hado
measuring and water crystal photographic technology, I
have been witnessing that water can turn positive when
it receives pure vibration of human prayer no matter how
far away it is.

Energy formula of Albert Einstein, E=MC2 really means
that Energy = number of people and the square of people’s
consciousness.

Now is the time to understand the true meaning. Let us all join
the prayer ceremony as fellow citizens of the planet earth.

I would like to ask all people, not just in Japan, but all around
the world to please he lp us to find a way out the crisis of this
planet.

The prayer procedure is as follows...

Name of ceremony:
“Let’s send our thoughts of love and gratitude to all water
in the nuclear plants in Fukushima”

Day and Time:
March 31st, 2011 (Thursday)
12:00 noon in each time zone

Please say the following phrase:
“The water of Fukushima Nuclear Plant, we are sorry to
make you suffer. Please forgive us. We thank you, and
we love you.” Please say it aloud or in your mind.

Repeat it three times as you put your hands together in
a prayer position. Please offer your sincere prayer.

Thank you!

Parenting the Parent, an Indigo Conundrum

An excerpt, which lends a taste of understanding what this is all about:

"Behavioral problems sometimes develop in children as a result of the unrealistic expectations of their parents. Krull has seen many parents complain that their kids aren't reaching their full potential because they're bored in school. But he says this is often because children might decide that not doing homework is better than doing their best and getting only average grades. They often become underachievers, rebel or internalize their frustrations until they become depressed. "Everybody's child is gifted according to every parent," Krull says. "But most are normal, unfortunately."

Back at the Baytown school, Jake finally wanders out of the bathroom and walks straight over to the chalkboard. "I'm just not going to talk to anyone anymore," he says. "My mom is lying." The reason he's upset, he says, is his mother broke her promise not to tell people his secrets. "Remember I told you I had a girlfriend?" he says. She told his best friend, after promising not to.

"'As a parent, he's my biggest teacher,' Jake's mother says. 'We're not raising him. He's raising us.'"

A little more explanation...don't be alarmed...it's just our call---

Lyrics here are very telling. But you knew that already, of course.

Who is Indigo?

Indigo is the future, and the past all rolled into the NOW.

Have you ever thought you were weird because you weren't buying into the shit that all the other kids did on the playground? Your friends wanted to play with Barbies or G.I Joes, but deep down all you wanted to do was read about Astrology or talk to that old woman down the street about the herbal concotions she used to make for her hijos?


Have you ever thought you might be from another place because you may feel so different?

Have you seen things that people say don't exist - angels, UFOs, ghosts?

Well then Welcome Home Baby! You aren't alone...Come for the ride...the journey to continue awakening and sharing. You are Home.
