“2020 Owl Vision” • 24”x34” • Acrylic Paint on Canvas • January  2020

STORY:

4:44am

The alarm went off. Slowly I felt the sensation of my spirit entering my waking body. Mind, body and spirit gently came into full alignment as I took a deep breath and sat up. I shut the alarm off and headed out of the bedroom quietly as to not wake my 2 daughters.

I ran a mental checklist as I opened the door to head outside: restroom, washed up, brushed teeth, hydrated with water, breathing exercises, stretched entire body, – check, check, check.

Right before I closed the door I saw Bunnee walking by making her way to the kitchen. We locked eyes and she sent me a huge, tender smile. We both bowed our heads to re-affirm that we were waking up early every morning to show up for our self – for the love of our being, to nurture and empower our individual body with a series of daily morning rituals.  

I shut the door and ran off toward the running path I had created for myself a year ago. Purposely I did not listen to any music. It gave me an opportunity to listen to the sounds of the early morning as most of the city slept.

4 short breaths in then 4 short breaths out and simultaneously I mentally stated my intentions for my day. Additionally I also repeat, “I am powerful, I am beautiful, I am strong.”

Quarter of the way of my running path I crossed through a community park. I heard my breathing get louder and my heart beating paced faster. Wind began to hit my face. I slowly turned my head slightly to the right.  I realized that it was not my heart nor my breathing but a large great horned owl that was flying next to me flapping its large patterned wings.

Our eyes connected. My heart and spirit were calm, yet my mind was at the verge of having a breakdown. I managed to take a deep breath filling my belly then my lungs and lastly my brain and slowly released. Suddenly, all fear and anxiety fizzled out and I was ever so present.

I could hear her – the great horned owl in my mind.

“Keep going, keep showing up and keep being organized with your blocks of time. Your manifestations come through when you execute your share of aligned action with The All. Let me ask you something, how do you feel?” she asked.

“I feel happy and fulfilled,” I mentally answered.

“There we go. Feeling fulfilled will attract more creative opportunities and goodness into your life. More importantly, you will not only be present for your children but you will be joyous in your encounters with them. This is what they are learning from you, the art of joy. What better way to prepare them for this life’s game than to know how to tap into the source of life and produce joy in their own lives?”

I noticed the sun rising on the East, yet the moon was still present. I then looked at the owl and bowed my head in agreement. I ran faster. She flew next to me effortlessly.

“You have the right idea – light and dark. Use my vision to see clearly. Observe and see what is truth and what is false. What is the voice of The All and what is the voice of the ego? My vision will aid you in cutting through and getting to what is most important to you in this game of life,” the owl expressed.

“Thank you. I am sure you noticed that my mind was almost consumed with fear as you approached me. But I caught it and appeased it,” I shared openly.

“Yes, and that is the way to respond to your protective mind – gently and lovingly but firm,” she said. “With that, what have you learned from our encounter?”

“I will continue to get out of my own way. I will continue to get out of the way of others. I will continue to flow and align with Loving Presence,” I answer mentally.

“There it is, as simple as that. Remember, your honesty and your vulnerability are powers and keys to access clarity.”

“Till we meet again”, the great horned owl said.

I could have sworn I saw her give me a huge smile. Then, in a blink of an eye she disappeared within the trees’ branches that serve to shade various parts of the park.

“Indeed my friend. Safe travels, I love you”, I said out loud.

The sun ascended higher and shared its warmth on my face. 

“I can see clearly, I have 2020 vision, I show up for my children daily, I show up with enthusiasm and with joy, I fulfill my heart with love and tender loving care,” I repeatedly said these affirmations as I continued on my run.

The Crow's Aura & The Sacred #001 Introduction

The Crow’s Aura & The Sacred – Introduction #001

Many of us understand early in life that we were born with a powerful asset, the mind. For decades past though, a lot of us didn’t realize that with that mind there is an additional component that comes with it – a Voice.

The Voice is dualistic, the Voice is unseen and elusive – if one does not teach it positive input, by the default the Voice will grow negative. This mental confusion, incessant negative thinking and clutter has robbed countless beings of their full potential and birthrights such as: joy, creation of ideas into things and unconditional love.

Times are now changing though, we are in a new age where we as a civilization feel and sense that there is something more to life than what has previously been prescribed. We are opening our hearts, mind and spirit to a phenomenon that has been with us since the beginning of time, our guiding and protection system – The Sacred. Some have expressed their experience with The Sacred as being surrounded by loving presence and visually describe being enveloped in an energetic aura that looks like a crow.

The Sacred is a group of ancestral super beings that exists to be of service to The All, they bridge the Reality Realm with the Spirit Realm. Those who seek them will find them and be guided and protected by them. They can transform into anything they desire yet any transformation is done for the highest good of all and for The All.

It is The Sacred that aids human beings to activate The Voice in a positive and enlightening way. Wisdom, love and empowering words and actions flow directly from The All through humans when they exercise the way of The Sacred.

On the other side of the spectrum, the Voice if not nurtured, tended to and mastered it will take over the human body and use it as a host for its dark deeds.
Now more than ever, it is important to allow for The Sacred to work through you.
Follow them in their adventures and quests to aid human kind.

The Sacred is (see included image - from top to bottom and left to right):
Great Mother = the Leader
Sassafras = the Protector
The First Meztli = the Loving Nurturer
Homeless Spokesman = the Sage
Illumination = the Alchemist
Kid Within = the Innocent and Joyous Being
Soul Subway Traveler = The Hunter, the Explorer and the Present Being.

3 Day Juice Cleanse Without Gratitude

8/12/2017

2 Comments

 
Picture
My partner Irene, a.k.a Bunnee, has been selling juice cleanses for several years now yet I myself have not done the juice cleanse. Until 3 days ago, I decided I would partake.

The reason for that is I’d been traveling and making poor choices when eating on the road. I am also very sensitive to energy so I had absorbed a lot of energy from seeing and meeting people in my travels.

So, doing the juice cleanse was a great way for me to cleanse my digestive system, the mental clutter in my mind and the energy that is within and around my being.
What does a juice cleanse have to do with my thoughts and my energy? Everything, the body, mind and soul are all connected just like “WE” are all connected to each other via our energy fields.

If I am feeding my body/stomach unhealthy foods, I myself begin to feel lethargic and bloated. Because of the way I feel, my thoughts begin to go into “protective mode.” Being clear-minded then costs me more energy. Being that I am traveling, there is no “safe haven” or “home” to rest and/or take cover in order to “align” my being as I do at home on a daily basis.

Now, combine this personal experience I am going through with another person’s personal “issues and or problems” that are around him or her and within him or her. Because I am very sensitive and absorbent to energy, I feel the additional intensity of energy, whether it is dark or light. Now, multiply that by 100 to 150 people I came across in my travels including my partner and children.

Naturally, my being begins to absorb the other beings’ energy and vice versa. Again, we are interlaced with each other via “OUR” energy and vibrations.
Let me be clear – I am not saying I feel polluted by the other persons’ energy, what I am saying is that I am responsible for what I allow into my body including foods, energy and thoughts.

Coming back home, I asked Irene if I could do the 3-Day Juice Cleanse. This comment made her happy. She too decided to do the juice cleanse with me.

As suspected, the first day I was lethargic, tired, cranky and borderline depressed. The only thing that kept me from going into a downward spiral was my thoughts of knowing that the moment would pass. I embraced my emotions and my feelings not stalling on drinking my 5 juices for the day.

The next morning I woke up tired which is very unusual for me unless I am ill. After talking to Irene about some of my personal thoughts of experiencing non-stop mental activity from waking up, I came to the conclusion that I was feeling low in energy due to not eating certain foods such as meat, sugar and breads. The other realization was that I was missing a key ingredient from my life – I had abandoned gratitude. It’s as if I did not have the energy to be grateful. I still felt bitter. At what? Random things – hahaha – nothing of any importance really. This then told me that I was in mid “CLEANSE” and that all the toxicity was still processing through my being. I surrendered.

I continued to drink my juices along with plenty of water and fruit snacks. Yes, I did want to eat a bread with jelly and I wanted to run to a fast food restaurant to eat what I was craving – grease. But, I stayed the course.

My aim while going through this experience was to be still. I even stopped from posting on social media. I needed to just be patient and allow for goodness to come back to my being. The only drawback was, there was no gratitude in sight.
The third day, I woke up feeling better. My stomach felt good so my mind was feeling good. I even woke up feeling grateful. I noticed that the mental clutter was not present as per usual. It could be that the junk foods I have been eating causes certain levels of chemicals to rise or lower during my sleep causing a lot of mental activity during my waking stages(?) Something to observe further in myself.
Whatever I had absorbed via the foods and the energy I had consumed, had finally passed through me. I felt light and energetic.

Hours later, as I took a small break from painting a thought came at me really strong without warning – Rent is due!

It’s as if everything that had been lifted from my being came back with more power and force. I even got a headache of trying to figure out how to pay rent.
I then thought of how I had been wasting my time (3 days to be exact) doing the “cleanse” when I could have been working to pay rent. I mean lets be honest – taking care of self takes – well time – time, money and energy.

Right? Is this not what I should be doing? Is this not what we have been conditioned to do? To not analyze ourselves to not listen to our bodies  - to disregard ourselves and just work, work, work, so we can pay to exist in a certain space. To stress out to the point I end up at the hospital to obtain prescription drugs and an outrageous doctors bill that only propels me to work more to pay for it.

What am I missing I asked myself?
Gratitude. I am missing gratitude.

At that moment I began to summon my gift of gratitude. Everything I thought of, I thanked. Everything I saw, I thanked. I thanked God, I thanked myself, I thanked the brush I held in my hand. I mean I thanked everything. I raised my gratitude vibration so high that I went into to “Love Frequency.” I felt so much love.

I thanked the space where we live. I thanked the property management team. I thanked the owners of the property.

Does gratitude cover the costs of rent? Nope, but it allows me to be clear. It allows me to see through the clutter. I can read between the lines. So I can move forward accordingly. Things that fear, anxiety and anger will not provide.

Today, I woke up extra early, feeling great. I did the unexpected -  I washed dishes. Hahaha and as my family woke up I gave them love.

I see the importance and impact of the juice cleanse. It truly aided me to realign myself to my truth. Specially after a month and a half of traveling, working non stop and being social with other beautiful people.

I know I will continue to do the juice cleanse. I truly feel that the “life” from the vegetables and fruits Bunnee used for the juices is what added higher vibrations and energy to my being.

Thank You Irene – Thank You veggies – Thank You fruits – again, here I go thanking everything!

It's been very interesting and exciting to be painting murals inspired by my novel.
I get to express my work with words and visuals. 
I'm definitely inspired to keep going with this and see what unfolds further. Maybe a short film and/or a series of cartoons (?)

Foreground mural by: Pose 2 - Background Mural by: Isaias Crow.

My mural (in the background) was inspired by "The Crow's Aura - The Path to Forgiveness" book cover art.

Pose 2's mural was inspired by one of the coloring pages of "The Crow's Aura - Vision Quest Coloring Book"

Painted in Rosarito, Mexico for Pose 2's 2017 Bboy Bbq. Which by the way was AWESOME!

Here is the comparison between the book cover art and the mural.

There's 88 coloring pages on my newest coloring book "The Crow's Aura - Vision Quest" - My aim is to paint them all as murals with the help of my friends and associates. Here is coloring page 22 painted as a mural - 87 more pages to go!
