Faith

In "Zero Limits" Dr. Hew Len reminds us that we write "In God We Trust" on all or our money, but we sure don't choose to act like it. A lot of what Ho'oponopono is, beyond the cleaning, apologizing and asking for forgiveness, is having faith. Whether you call the somthing else: god, or love or the universe, faithlessness is one of our most dangerous programs. A huge component of the economic "crisis" the world is reportedly facing now is a product of faithlessness. Don't be a part of it. Listen to the money and keep the faith. Also, remember that you only have to ask once if you want something, incessant asking is not persistence, it's another face of faithlessness, so ask once and believe.

Ho'oponopono and a Cup of Joe

As you know, I've been making and drinking blue solar water since last summer. I have days where that's all I drink. But I do also like coffee in the morning. So this morning, for the first time, I made my coffee using blue solar water. I can tell you that I didn't taste any difference, but I also didn't get any jitters at all, and found myself both calm and very focused. So, if you have some blue solar water ready some morning, give it a try. Remember, adding just a bit of bsw to regular water solarizes the whole batch, so go for, you've got nothing to lose but the jitters.

Three Words Trump Three Letters

Yesterday, I had to go to that most dreaded of all places to re-register my car. Yes, it was the DMV! Now, aside from providing fodder for countless stand-up comics over the years, the DMV mostly means two things to everyone LINES and WAITING. I arrived mid-afternoon and was given number 344B. They were at number 326B at the time and were also serving C's and D's and other letters. They told me it would be "25 minutes" but the lines screamed, "longer!" So I sat down and watched to see if a B would move. The B's just weren't going anywhere. Then I remembered I could start cleaning and see what happened. If nothing else, I'd be doing some good somewhere. So I told my friend Nadene, who drove me down, to, "Watch this: I'm gonna use ho'oponopono." And as I did, the numbers suddenly starting flying off the board. After no movement at all, 344B was called within 5 minutes of me beginning my cleaning. I'm not kidding. Nadene was amazed. Also, everyone there seemed happier. Needless to say, cleaning beat the DMV and we should remember to clean wherever lines are found!

Another Miracle

Okay, I don't have a picture of my left ear, but I do have a picture of strawberries, to remind you that they are one of the cleaning foods. Anyway, the miracle has to do with my left ear. When I was in 8th grade, I had an accident at school and the inside of my left ear was injured. I was told at the time, that I might eventually experience hearing loss - and I did. Over the past several years, I have noticed the hearing in my left ear getting weaker and weaker. My friends know that I say, "Huh?" a lot when I answer the phone. What they didn't know was I was switching to my right ear, so I could hear them better and not have to keep asking them to repeat themselves. Well, tonight my hearing came all the way back!


I've been doing ho'oponopono for well over a year now, but just recently - yesterday, in fact - I stopped trying to clean specific things, and just petitioned for all of my problems, whether perceived by me or not, to be cleaned. So, tonight I was about to do some push-ups, when I once again petitioned for all my problems. I do ho'oponopono push-ups, by the way (1 I love you, 2 I love you, 3 I love you , etc. etc) and after I made my petition and started to do the push-ups, I felt something move in my left ear - and suddenly, for the first time since 8th grade my hearing was back full blast! It was a miracle!


And it all happened because I realize that God or the divinity or the universe knows better than I what my problems are, and though I am 100% responsible for apologizing and asking forgiveness for them, God knows exactly where they are. Further, I remembered that not petitioning for something was a way of telling God or the divinity or the universe that you don't think you need their help - and that can actually lead to the problem growing.


So, what I want you to take away from this in your practice of ho'oponopono is to maybe back off the cleaning of one issue or another and ask for the cleaning of all your problems. I don't know where I'd rank my left ear in my list of issues, but I do know that suddenly getting my hearing all the way back was a miracle and it is an incredible validation of the ho'oponopo process.


Peace of I,

Happy Valentine's Day!

I haven't updated in awhile cause I've been busy with some work projects, but my cleaning process is constant and I hope your's is, too. Now, I hope Valentine's Day is not just reminding you to tell someone else you love them, because it should be reminding you to tell yourself you love yourself, too. So today, at some point, tell yourself and your body and all things around you that you love them, and enjoy the results. There are no three more powerful words than I Love You. Keep saying it, and you'll keep cleaning.


Peace of I,

Happy Thanksgiving!

Long before I'd heard of Ho'oponopono Thanksgiving was always my favorite holiday. Don't get me wrong, I loved Christmas and all that stuff, but I just like Thanksgiving better and now I think I know why. Saying "thank you" is a powerful cleaning tool and when you mix in the powerful love you have for all those things you're grateful for, you end up at zero or pretty close to it all day as you relax, visit, maybe watch some football and eat. It feels so good and it's the way we are supposed to feel all the time, and do feel all the time when we're at zero. Another great thing about origin of Thanksgiving. Legend has it that it began when the Native Americans and the Pilgrims decided to share the harvest - now there can only be one reason why and one thing we can all learn from this: We are ONE. Have the most joyful Thanksgiving of your life, and keep being thankful all year long!

Peace of I,

"The Open Man"

I like sports and am always looking for good metaphors in sports. In basketball, football, soccer and hockey, the ball, or puck, is supposed to go to "the open man." That's a player who is in the clear and not being impeded by any defender. Conversely, the ball or puck should not be passed to anyone who is covered or in anyway impeded. Things come to us when we are clear, and if we're really clear, we can really score. Keep cleaning!

Peace of I,
