New Year’s Resolutions! Resolutions or a sure trap?

2013 Goals I don’t know about you, but when I see that my belly tightens up in seconds. Maybe as a memory of all the resolutions unachieved…

With every new year we feel an internal rush. A rush to reach for our dreams, to reach for something new that we have felt called to explore and accomplish – start a new project, learn a new skill, travel, save money, change ourselves…
We use this time as a chance for us to change what we dislike about ourselves and our habits. To stop our addictions to tabacco, alcohol, food or sweets, TV, sex, illegal drugs and to work on improving ourselves and our relationships.
We strive with excitement, hope, filled with positive intentions and new dreams. Each resolution a beautiful and honorable calling. It can be felt in the air, in the streets. We can breathe it and share it will all.

So why is it that we feel pressured by them and that most of us “fail” to maintain these personal agreements?

We are filled and surrounded by multi-dimensional addictions! We are emotionally and physically entrapped in specific types of relationships and behaviors that we are not even aware of.
Every year at this time we get our head out of “the bucket” filled with hope. As a scared child, on the following day, we look around and the world quickly becomes uncomfortable, unknown and unsafe. What do you think happens next? We go right back into “the bucket”.
It may be uncomfortable down there but at least it is safe, we know every inch of it.
Since childhood we have learned to become comfortable with failure, we know every inch of it, but we have not been taught to be comfortable with success and the unknown that comes with it. As Marianne Williamson suggests, success is our biggest fear.

These behaviors are the resultant of a driving force, a wound. A wound, the result of a story.

Our story and the story we tell ourselves is what keeps us entrapped in “the bucket”.
I will propose that the bucket is made of our individual story, our family and personal story starting with our birth. The latter is contained within a bigger story: the story of our civilization, the story of MAN.

Our healing, our resolutions is about these two stories, the individual and the collective. In other words, the “the bucket” is made of two wounds, the individual and the collective.

The collective story erected our society, a society with a skeleton of anxiety always needing us addicted in order to keep feeding itself. A society that itself is addicted.

Addiction and anxiety are resultants of the original wound of separation, they are symptoms of our dissociation from our natural origin and original birth rights.

We have left behind, with the cartesian dualism of separation, our union with Nature. Today MAN believes to be in control of Nature therefore separated from it.
As we have embraced this message we lost connection with one another, we have lost the love of the land, the love of life (not the life of our societal believes, but our life of origin), technology as replaced the need for each other. We feel alone and powerless. At a fast pace anxiety, fear, disconnection and loneliness creeped on us.

New Year's Resolution No wonder that a yoga class or a 21 day cleanse does not bring the answers we hope. No wonder that trying to save money to pay down our debt is unattainable. No wonder that being green with our use of plastic bottles does not make a difference when it comes to Earth preservation. The foundations, the collective wound, that we step on and believe to be true keep us entrapped. Alcohol, drugs, junk and processed foods surrounds us, technology is constantly fed to us, fear and rush is holding us by the neck… Nowhere a calm river, a field of peace where we can be cared for and care for others. It is up to us to create the latter, it cannot be given to us by an anxious society.

My intend is not to bring you down into darkness but to bring light to darkness, to offer another point of view that I hope highlights what is missing and why it is so hard to change.
I do not reject this time of separation, I believe it is part of our evolution. Thanks to it many discoveries and qualities have been brought to light.
I do however believe that it is necessary to re-orientate ourselves toward union, playfulness and care for our survival.

Nothing is wrong with us, but much is with what be believe.

The collective wound needs your attention. Our individual resolutions must include the collective.

Wake up!, Observe! Take a – caring – stand!

You are a stream, follow it…

“A Message from the Three” – By Guillaume Vincent

The LightHouse

In Newtown the death knell rung…

So loud that it was heard by all of the seven directions, the people of Earth and of the Stars.
Young innocent Stars open and filled with the sweet nectar of life have passed.

The death knell rung and rung, again…

Darkness came and knocked on their doorstep,
Sucked their sweet nectar dry, for it is what Darkness does.

Darkness too, once was an innocent Star.
It too carried the sweet nectar, that on a dark day got stollen away.
Left alone to awaken
A vacuous blood thirsty demon.

A demon with a heart of fear, a mind of control and bullets for eyes.
Its veins filled with a bitter dark and slimy nectar singing separation and destruction.

This same nectar that slowly leaked and invaded all of the four directions, killed in the name of greed, division and superiority.

But the Three – Above, Below and Within – remain;
Standing strong and clear,
The lighthouses of our hope,
The Father and Mother of our sweet nectar,
The guides of our hearts and caretakers of our souls.

Today the Three mourn, and welcome back by their side these young innocent stars.
With their tears a message:

Darkness be ready!
Do not take our mourning for weakness,
Our loving hearts for impotence,
Our dreams for this World and the Beings it holds for naïvety.

We have gathered and are ready, now is the time!
We are coming your way!

From the Four directions people are walking,
Crossing the mountains and the rivers.
They have found each other.

They come with the wisdom of the ancient elders,
The strength of a thousand warriors,
Wings of golden angels and hearts of crystals.

They will not kill you, in their hearts – Love leads.
Love for you, and hope to grieve with you,
What we all have once lost.

They will take your hand and offer you a sip from the Fountain of Life,
The source from which we drink.

Newtown will always be remembered as the NEW TOWN where darkness started anew.

Wake up! Obama Vs. Romney, a Streaming point of view

After posting on Facebook a message today, 10/10/12. I felt the need to develop and expand on my point of view. Here is the facebook message of 10/10/12:

“Economically it does not matter who wins the elections, there is no way out of our economical collapse. Our system can no longer survive, the monster has started eating itself, it has now reached its heart.

We cannot fix the problem with the same tools that it took to create it.
I believe that Obama will make the collapse process smoother and slower as he cares for the people. Romney will take us right to it. But no matter what the economical collapse is coming. WAKE UP!!! IT IS COMING!!!

My deepest fear with this election is the potential for a war. I feel that this is the true question. Obama will do his best to prevent it while Romney won’t and will take us straight to it.

ECONOMICAL COLLAPSE INEVITABLE, WAR ON THE OTHER END CAN BE AVOIDED.

Are you ready? Are you ready to change your habits, to get shaken up, to have your life crumble around you? Are you ready to live in a world where without each other you cannot survive. Needing community for our food, water, healing, our home… The end of money as we know it.
Are you ready to loose your mansion, to loose your beautiful car, Iphone 5, your pseudo health insurance? Are you ready to focus your energy on what you need to survive, what life is truly about so that you can eat, grow a garden, share meals with your neighbors, care for your neighbors children and each others health…. Are you ready for the collapse of what you think to be true. WAKE UP!! IT IS COMING!!!

Our tools need to be refined, our values, what we see as truth needs to be reevaluated. We must stop hoping that the government has the answer to our crises. The government itself is in a belief system/story that no longer functions and they cannot bring us what we seek for ourselves; we must start building from within, restore the Human Nature, give it’s proper place to technology and replace a world of money with a world of resources. There are enough resources in the world for all, there is not enough money in the world.

If money disappears is it the end of the world? Think of it, all of our skills will still be there, our friends, our factories, fields, and knowledge. Only money would be gone. Get ready at home with yourself, your loved ones and start participating. Be curious about how to create a new world and a new economy.

Healing starts within.
Guillaume Vincent”

Why do I speak of an inevitable economical collapse? Well this is simple arithmetic’s as President Obama would say, but does not say. Our economy is based on growth, selling more goods, more products, more services in order to keep growing. The problem is, all has been and is being sold.
All the services and relationships are sold, from caring for our kids, to organizing our home, our thoughts, cooking for us, getting our trash out…
All the resources of Earth have been transformed into goods, there is nothing left on Earth to transform. We have transformed it all already and are selling it all.
We already have and soon we will see many more extinctions of animal species, especially fish, that we all like so much on our plates, petroleum, fossil gas, wood, etc. We will soon run out of all of these.
So in order to grow you need more and more correct, then how do you keep growing when there is no more, when there is nothing else to sell? On top of it the population has been growing rapidly thus increasing the gap between what can be sold and what is needed to maintain care for the populations.
We are left with only one option; we must invade other planets with our space ships and start exploiting what they have to offer. After all we are the Master’s of the Universe.
Only one problem, this won’t happen. WAKE UP, we are not the Master’s of the Universe, we will not conquer the Universe and other planets with our spaceships.

It might sound funny to you and me, but this is how the foundations of society and economy are functioning: perpetual growth.

I am disappointed in the politicians and economists who still claim that a solution is possible in this system. Obama speaks about simple arithmetic’s when he discounts Romney’s approach. Well I will do the same to discount all the point of views that support and maintain economical growth as our salvation.

This is nonsense, WAKE UP! Only 1+1=2 not 0+0

If there are no more carrots in your garden you just can’t sell any more carrots.
Well this is what is happening now, they are no more carrots but we are still acting as if they were. We function on an invisible non-existent carrot supply system. At some point someone will need to eat their carrot and unfortunately they will finally see that there has never been any… Tatatata Magic!!!

So what are we suppose to do? Many don’t have solutions and can just express their hopelessness.

Well not anymore we have choices, here is one.
The truth is we must learn how to decrease our economy. Interesting concept isn’t? The first time I saw this it made me think a minute. If it is your first time, I invite you to think about it too.

The idea is nothing new as economists 100 years ago were already talking about it but were shut down by the monster. Today it is coming back to life strongly! Many economists, visionaries and thinkers are saying the same thing and are supporting it. It is about negative interest, free money and a world in which our economy is in balance and in accordance with the amount of resources available on Earth. Money no longer holds our primary focus but the amount of resources does, how they are used and cared for.
The economy grows when we take good care of ourselves, our communities and of our planet, it decreases when we don’t. In this system our interest is to maintain and care for the resources of the common wealth (ie: forests, oceans, petroleum, animal and human beings). I will not describe the whole system, as this is not my specialty, I will let the specialists introduce it to you themselves. Especially Charles Eisenstein, please review his work, he has gathered and created many ideas, concepts and solutions around creating a new economy.

Today we are in the phase of having to decrease our economy because our resources will soon be all gone. Indeed those who take the resources from the common wealth and pollute for their own purpose and greed shall pay rights to pollute and rights to use the common wealth to all of us. The common wealth is after all ours (we should have something to say). This would lead to an un-economically viable project, as the cost of polluting and using the common wealth would be way too high. The less the company pollutes and uses the common wealth, the cheaper the production, the more money one may receive. Let’s use then the never ending supplies of the common wealth: wind, sun, ocean currents and more. These cost nothing and are abundant.

The other idea is perishable money. Money is the only thing I know of that is not perishable. It does fluctuate but does not perish. Everything else in life perishes, why not money. Money is therefore based on a model different from life itself and that has nothing to do with it. (You may want to read about the history of money for more info) As a result, money cannot match life’s needs and purposes. Charles Eisenstein speaks wonderfully of this issue.

Today we must decrease are consumption and learn how to live with what we need, not what we think we need. I know this is not what most want, we want big mansions, big cars and the latest Iphone 5 (I enjoyed a jock I read on social media: “You are buying an Iphone5, but you are sleeping on a air mattress!”).
This is the end of this road, of this dream. This will NOT happen! We will not all have mansions with four bedrooms, three cars, four TVs and the latest Iphone. We must dream something new, something in accordance with what we have learned, with the need to care for ourselves and our resources: Earth.

Here is my specialty, what I can speak of directly. Why are we stuck in this?

We all know within us that this is not working but we maintain ourselves in denial, in our beliefs systems, in our life story, in our prison, our physical suffering/pain and we are very attached to it.

Well there are two voices talking to us, one that feeds us information from the rational world we live in, that is influenced by our society, culture, family lineage and life story. A story in which men are to control women, treat them as tools and inferior beings. They refer to each other as kings that rule territories thanks to the size of their genitals, their dollar bills and weapons. I mean this literally. From the CEO of a huge corporation to the cocaine dealer down the street, same way of thinking, different context.

Women or queens are to satisfy the kings’ expectations and needs, if not they are rejected and punished for it. They also get rejected and punished if they show having more strength and beauty than what the kings or other queens can handle. The kings can quickly feel that they are loosing power. Other queens can be threatened to loose their queen’s status. Women are asked to show their potential only if approved by men, in a way that is limited by the men insecure need to control their people, their women/wives and children.

Many however are no queens, nor kings. They feel that they don’t belong, they want to become queens and kings but they can’t; thus leading to depression, poor self-image, addictions, etc. This also happens to the queens and kings themselves as ultimately the other voice speaks.

The other voice speaks to us at night when we are alone, it is our irrational voice telling us that none of this is true, that there is more in us, more we need to accomplish and create. That women are to be honored, liberated, respected and cared for. That men can work together, use their strength to create community, to share and care for their neighbors, brothers and sisters. The voice wants us to be happy, it wants us to connect, express ourselves and wants to know that we matter and have our place.
We resonate with this voice and we know that it holds a lot of truth.

But the next day we wake up and listen to the rational blablabla that is fed to us via TV, marketing adds, movies, music…
The irrational world seems them so far distant and so unreal, but leaves in us an imprint that if not acknowledged and acted upon leads to depression, poor self-image, addictions, etc.

This other voice has been, so far for the most part, forgotten or seen as naïve, maybe even crazy for some.

Well, let me bring it to you, not anymore. The discomfort and the pain of having to live in that blablabla make it so uncomfortable that many can’t take it anymore.
Visionaries, philosophers, economists and leaders in the field of “the creation of a new world” are as we speak taking a stand, as I am, and are saying THIS IS ENOUGH!

They are bringing proposals and concrete solutions. These leaders are gaining more and more momentum and respect from the population, as we are discovering that these messages and proposals do actually sound and look like something we can do, that we relate to and most of all that they feel good!
Ultimately our heart wants to feel good, doesn’t it? What about yours? Well guess what the heart is irrational and operates in the irrational world. We must then pay more attention to integrating this part of ourselves if we want to feel good.

This is where transformation streaming comes in to facilitate the integration of the irrational self into our rational world, clear the traumas of the rational world so that we can create something as simple as feeling good in our society, relationships, economy, in our world.

So as I mentioned in my facebook message, we must learn how to loose and let go of what we think we need and learn how to build community to support each others needs that we can no longer satisfy on our own. Many have already started loosing what they had as you read this, you may be one of them or your turn might be coming soon.
I speak from experience. It has started for me. I am still maintaining myself but not by much. What is helping me is to choose to let go of what I do not need and to engage with my community in a new way, making myself available to share, support and be supported. Many are not as lucky as I am. More and more do not have enough food nor have a roof to sleep under and have no community.

If we do not start paying attention to what we need and don’t need and do not create a community for ourselves, many more will have no food, nor roof.

To this statement I get for response that I am being dark here. Well actually I feel that I bring light. Listen, if getting rid of what we don’t need and creating community that supports each other is darkness, then what is it now?
Let’s take a moment to look around. How do you feel right now? Most people feel unaccomplished, can’t pay their bills, can’t care for their family, can barely feed themselves, are in debt and do not get any support. People are depressed, over weight, taking pills, fighting other money, competing for just about anything and in the end feel alone when night comes. This is to me the true darkness.

This transition is bright and sunny if we choose to. It fills up our hearts with “feeling good” for freeing, honoring and reconnecting ourselves and takes care of our rational/physical needs thanks to our community.
It will however be very uncomfortable to the ones that will resist it and want to keep driving a Hummer, as they will feel that their world is coming to an end. Some see a beginning, others the end.

Hopefully this will happen with the decline of our economy and not through a war.
In my heart I hope that we will all come to an agreement that things need to change, but I can feel in me that this might not happen. I foresee resistance in order to maintain the monster. Hopefully the monster will die on its own, without taking us with it.

What are you going to do? Stay asleep and act as if everything is doing fine in this system. WAKE UP and GET READY! We are entering a wild ride, an unknown magical journey, a new ride never experienced by mankind. Will you be awake or asleep? That is up to you.
I am awake, bring it!

WAKE UP! The future is within you.

Community Living Survey and Project

 

“Our intention is to develop and grow a Gratitude Community, to maybe one day, turn into a Gratitude Society.” Guillaume

A community where our interconnectedness and our need for one another are of the essence. A place to learn how to free ourselves from the rat race led by money and material desires, to finally embrace the true meaning of life, happiness, self-expression and creation.
We all deserve to discover what we are here for and live the life we are suppose to. In order to access this place of inner knowing, one must learn what is in the way with the support of others around him/her.
We must learn how to live together again, if we do not want to destroy ourselves any longer.

Our community embodies the spirit of the transition we find ourselves in, the integration of our need for connection with the respect and honoring of personal boundaries.

“A Run In The Dark”, by Guillaume Vincent

A RUN IN THE DARK

I used to play with my little friends, climb & hide in the trees.
I used to wander in fields of wild flowers, discover new smells and butterflies.

Suddenly, I started running.

I ran as I passed by beauty and tried to dodge rain.
I ran, blind to day and night.
I ran, numb to winter and summer.

With each step,
A new door full of joy and uncertainty,
With each step,
Grief to leave behind what I had barely touched
With each step,
A lost piece of a new puzzle.

“Ohhh”, I could hear
“Ohhh, please slow down”
“Ohhh, please slow down”

Trusting in Giving and Receiving. Offering our work as a Gift

“We’ve all been given a gift, the gift of life.
What we do with our lives is our gift back.” -Edo

Over the years I have been trying to quantify my services based on my overheads, what I think my skills are worth, what I am worth , as well as comparing myself to the rest of the market of our industry.
I never felt that I really was able to find the right “price” for my services as one session might be very powerful to one individual and not as supportive to another. For one person it might be worth thousands of dollars, for another a hundred or less.
I was also concerned to not be able to open my private practice and workshops to those who could not afford it. Chanelle and I, in response to this issue, decided to offer community acupuncture. However, the less financially fortunate ones could still not have access to Transformation Streaming sessions and workshops.

In short trying to put a price on my services has always been a big challenge. If the price is to low, I get overworked and can’t bring in enough to maintain my child, my family and my work. On the opposite, if I charge a higher amount, it becomes more about me and what I feel I am worth, which also disconnects me from others and where they find themselves in their lives.
I often considered sliding scale but never felt connected to it as it is about money, meaning at some point the practitioner gives more than he can and the receiver might pay more than what they feel they received. Thus creating an imbalance between giving and receiving.

“In The Mist Of The Universe” A Poem by Guillaume Vincent

In the Mist of The Universe

IN THE MIST OF THE UNIVERSE

In the west, the mist of a warm breeze caresses my face
In the east, the cold falling snow gives a new coat to the land and the trees

In the south, the ocean meets with the deserts of ice and the deserts of sand
In the north, the melting ice of the shores opens new passages into the Baffin Bay

In the sky, the clouds, the sun and the moon dance with the stars, honoring us, when called, by lightening and its tears.

Beneath us the fire, that our Mother lighted up, to cook for us the lunch and feast among our souls.

Surrounding us with light and silent for anthem, the Universe holds the hands, of the mystery before us…

Oh! There you are, it is nice to see you again…

“Welcome Home” A poem by Guillaume Vincent

Desert Sun

“Welcome Home”

I am here in the heat
Of the spring showing at our door,
In our home, that on a winter day
You and I took for nest,
Listening to a tune speaking to my heart,
Waiting for your return,
Joyful and fearful
To look into your eyes,
Caressing and holding
Your love into my chest.

My Love,
I have been visited by a very old friend,
Breaking through the door without notice
A familiar face, yet a stranger
I decided to sit, listen and look.

I saw across
The mountains and valleys,
The flow of a river
Showing me my longing.

I could feel my heart
Cracking into tears
Talking to my ears, telling me
Will you see me now?

And like the Lion’s Roar in his Kingdom, I roar back Yes!Yes! Yes!
I breath in yes, yes, yes…

Enough! Not being able to love and let in.
Enough! Destructing what never existed.
Enough! Looking outwards for what is already in.

My Love,
I need your support, to gently,
Like on the day of a baby’s first steps,
Hold my hand tight into yours.
Walk with me the cradle road
Along the old river of our dreams

And tell me again, and again, and again

That it is safe to stand alone,
To show my real face
With my mouth wide open,
My teeth sharp and shiny,
My hair full and long,
My tail measuring and drumming
My footsteps on the sand

And like the Lion’s Roar in his kingdom, I roar back Yes! Yes! Yes!
I breath in yes, yes, yes…

As I doubt in you myself,
I cannot help, but to say again,
Hold my hand tight into yours
Walk with me the cradle road.
Take your time and please help me come home.

Thank you for being here,
I simply did not know
That through you, I find me.

“Silence”, a poem by Guillaume Vincent

“Silence”

You have to go deep
In the fire of the Earth
To save this little trout
from drowning in your guts.

You will feel fear, and laughters
from the longing of your heart
opening to the wind.

You will want to fly, and
never come back,
from this mountain of light.
Forgetting to the ground,
the cradle of your soul
Opening to the One, the oneness in us all.

You will feel fear, of letting go behind,
this dear, sweet, little trout,
that suddenly saw the light.

But between Heaven and Earth
Where is it you should go?

While some wonder about
the seasons and the snow,
and others play and sing
the fallen leaves of all.
It is there for you to find
the nature of your soul.

And in all its strength and awe,
it will be easy to decide
that there is no where to go
but to breathe and sing the life
that ONE once gave us all.

With Love,
Guillaume
