MARCH 1999

WHY GOD MADE LITTLE GREEN ONIONS

The vernal equinox is synonymous with the slender, green blades of wild onions popping up everywhere. Just seeing these spring rhizomes make us want to rejoice.--honoring Moses and the Exodus, caraway seeds, and to salaciously agree with G.B. Shaw that history is an agreed upon set of lies.

An incarnation or so ago before yesterday, in Alexandria and its surrounding Metroplex folks went shopping every day. No one is really sure if all of this spending was to feed an emotional need or to just offset a universal lack of refrigeration.

What we do know is that it was dangerous to carry cash or a gold card. If stolen they were melted down and resold. --which is why onions became the bartering mainstay of the monetary system. If these were pilfered all one needed to do was follow his nose. --which is probably why the people appear to be sniffing and pointing in all Egyptian Bas Relief's.

Pharaoh, going through his historically infamous mid-life crisis had become a real pain for the Hebrew Tribes. Moses, having some insight about male hormonal mood swings, took advantage of the situation, used some super M&I, (manipulation and intimidation) and managed to get Exodus Visas for all of his people.--which meant they had to pack in a hurry.

Everyone grabbed an extra donkey and loaded it with rhizomes of the realm.--planning to buy anything extra they might need along the way. But, they didn't pass any shopping malls so there was no place to spend them. Being inherently sagacious about economics, they countered the situation by eating all of their mad money. By the time they reached the Red Sea, Everyone was broke, bloated, and smelled terrible. On the other hand, they all smelled the same so they didn't have to bother using their cache of precious breath mints and perfume oils.

So, here they are enjoying the beach while back at the palace Ole Pharaoh, unable to find anything to meet the requirements of his sadistic, mid-life crisis, appetite, revoked all Exodus Visas and sent his army to sniff them out.--something the Egyptian warrior thought would be a piece of cake.

The Hebrew Tribes, alarmed at seeing the rising dust kicked up by the approaching army tried using the same M&I that worked so effectively with Pharaoh on Moses. Half of the people, feeling that at least they would be safe and alive, wanted to return to Egypt and the dead end situation of slavery. The other half realizing they were trapped between Pharaoh's army and the Red Sea in front, demanded another miracle along the lines of something passé, like turning the army into frogs.

Just like all of the others, Moses had eaten heartily. This attempted M&I only exacerbated an already excruciating pain in his posterior. But Ole Moe kept his cool.--refusing to be ruled by other's fearful reality. By doing so, he received the light of a new concept and perspective.--revealing a way for his internal pressure to be a redeeming asset for these terrified people.

Moses knew he had to physically and emotionally deal with the major problems of wildly panicking émigrés' and a rapidly approaching hostile army. He also knew there was only one way to gain total success via this new perspective. Listening to his subtle inner voice saying concentrate, steady, hold, you can do this, steady, hold, maintain, Moses stood, faced everyone, and began to do a graceful backward glide Gregory Hines might envy to the very edge of the Red Sea. He then hiked the back of his robe over his shoulder, bowed to the multitude, and expressed his divinity by releasing all the accrued hot air with such force that the water receded and the Israelites escaped on dry land to the other side. When Pharaoh's Army tried to follow, the tremor was over and of course they drowned.

Everyone was thankful for the insight on how and where to use this inner power; yet equally fearful that any future explosions might part the Promised Land. This is when Moses received the message about caraway seeds and how they would prevent gas. So now we all know the reason God made little green onions, their cause and effect, and how to temper this hot air with caraway seeds.

While this version of the Exodus is nothing more than another blasphemous lie historians couldn't agree upon, it has much more in common with our own day by day lives than we realize. We've all felt allegorically trapped between an opposing army and a Red Sea, living the dead end frustration of being controlled by things we can't change and can't accept. We would love to release this imposed hot air in the same way.--seeing it create a tremor severe enough to part controlling influences at least long enough for us to cross through them and begin our lives the way we choose. Our personal success enhancement program for March deals with this very thing.

PERSONAL SUCCESS ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM
FOR MARCH

Each of us has a private dream about making a very personal Exodus from situations we never really wanted but were manipulated and intimidated into accepting anyway. Later when we see the very thing we tried to prevent materialize anyway; our 20/20 hindsight fuels an internal rage. We start looking around for someone or something to blame. At the same time we're wondering why we couldn't see that the end result would have been the same regardless of the way it was handled.

Let's face it, we then become even angrier because we don't have someone like Moses to lead us into a promised land.--never realizing that we would only be trading one form of M&I for another one called dependency.

I wrote about M&I in my first book PUCK EM ALL and how after suckering for the four letter F-word, FEAR; we somehow allow the convenience and safety of servitude to supersede our freedom of choice. Believe it or not, the manipulation and intimidation we suffer because of the F-word is the same, unchanged, crapola which caused that panic on the beach of the Red Sea thousands of years ago. It's even more important for us to realize that we possess the same abilities right now that Moses so effectively used back then.

Ole Moe was never in the dark about how to make his own fear and doubt, plus what was being imposed on him from others, become a positive asset. We are capable of doing the same thing by recognizing that when we take away the energies giving fear, doubt, and anxiety their power; they are nothing more than mere words. We've all been erroneously programmed to believe that any solution has to be as complicated as the living hell we want to escape. In truth, it's the magnitude of simplicity that makes this technique so positively effective.

This energy is a divine gift within each of us. Keep in mind that it's only energy and has no will of its own. Our personal inner power, governed by our conscious and sub-conscious minds can only function the way we've programmed it. We just aren't aware that our programming has mostly been M&I or hot air from outside sources. Here I want to reassure any of the readers who might be worried about having to moon a personality or situation to relax. It may be tempting but it just isn't necessary.

Many of my students like to choose a lousy T.V. night because it allows them plenty of time to give negative situations a long and uninterrupted scrutiny. We begin by looking at the fear, worry, doubt, disappointments, hovering around and messing up our lives. The first step in this technology is DON'T REPRESS THE EMOTION! Even though these feelings may be painful, remember that they are only an expression of the F-word. Repressing any emotion only implants it more deeply into our subconscious and later our super conscious minds. Instead, let's just remove the energy supporting them. It's also essentially vital for us to realize and accept that for the first time in a long time, we are now completely in charge of everything.

Next, we command all of this negative energy to leave our fear, as if we were deflating a balloon, and visualize it forming a ball of power between our hands. At this point, remember that there are no ifs, ands, or buts when we've totally accepted ourselves as being in charge. Therefore, this energy has no choice but to do what we tell it to do. Having done so, within a few minutes we shall sense what used to be a negative emotion as being something innocuous, just a meaningless word, having no power at all. Why? Because we've canceled all attachments. Therefore, this negativity has no choice but to become insentient.

We've removed the controlling power and placed it within our own hands. Continue to form this ball of power as if you were playing an accordion. --just remember that the power we're playing with is raw energy having no will of its own. This energy can only do what we tell it to do. Which is why we must be careful not to give it anything except positive programming.

Once our B.O.P. (ball of power) is programmed, we hold it just below the throat and just above the heart, and visualize it been processed through our thymus chakra and into our physical and emotional bodies. All we have done is remove the negative energy we don't want and replaced it with the positive energy we do want. As we practice this method we shall of course remember and feel things we thought were forgotten. These painful memories are surfacing because they were were never released, only repressed. We simply look at this with the perspective of Super B.O.P. making it work in our favor.

So, let's begin March in a lion hearted way by practicing and developing our B.O.P. technique. And, allowing the month to end with each of us being like new lambs, leaping with the joy of experiencing the success, health, and happiness we all deserve. This just couldn't happen to nicer people.

In the light of a thousand suns,
