Four Years Later and Still Creating

Well it only took 4 years, but “The Bleep” finally hit the “big time”. In case you missed it – Will Arntz, JZ Knight, Dean Radin, Fred Alan Wolfe, and Candice Pert were featured on Larry King this weekend. I was so pleased to see that our little film has finally been given some serious consideration by the “mainstream”. I have always been baffled as to why so many in the “mainstream” wrote off our film as “quack”.

Regardless of what you think about quantum physics and it’s applications into everyday life, the one premise of our film which I thought would be universally accepted was that our thoughts affect our reality. I have probably said this in almost every issue of this newsletter I’ve written in – but it’s true and I guess I need to be reminded of it everyday. Will said it best on Larry King when he said, “it’s so simple we almost trip over it!”

I have the joy of seeing that simple concept in action everyday as I observe my children – who seem to get it so easily. The other day my daughter was so tickled with herself- she woke up and was telling me about deer and how she wanted to see one and touch it. She would tell the deer not to be afraid. So off we go on our adventure into town when lo and behold there are 2 deer (a mama and a baby) standing In the middle of the road. However, this wasn’t a typical deer sighting – usually they would high tail it out of there but this time both mama and baby lingered for what seemed like an eternity. They moved to be sure they were in position to make eye contact with my daughter sitting in the back seat. Child and deer gazed at each other while mom held up about 10 cars behind me. They finally moved off to the woods – the little one pausing for one last look. My daughter shouted with joy, “Mommy , Mommy – I created that today! I am magic!”

Yes you are magical,” I told her.

The rest of the day she floated around and every time something would happen that was magical she would stop and say, “What else can we create today!”

That evening I sat with my husband on our porch watching the sunset – reflecting on our own ability to create magic. It seems to be so much harder for us grown ups! Or actually we grown ups make it much harder for ourselves.

Today I woke up with my daughters legs wrapped around me and my son snuggled next to me. Both were smiling and filled with Joy, the day ahead of them a gift and an adventure to be explored and I closed my eyes and thanked my god and the universe for such beauty. I told myself to be in bliss all day and to remember, “what we think matters!”

It’s about noon and I’m still there. No matter what has been thrown my way so far today. I can’t help but feel their warmth and love surrounding me – and that is truly bliss.
