Goose Bumps
Off to the races. We’ve been many places.
Eternal landscapes - erase the faces.
Me against the world that’s all my creation.
Deep meditation…
Separate the space in between the lines
Dimensions are defined
By the limits of the mind.
Truth coincides with what the soul finds.
Never to be found ‘cause it’s all inside.
Expand the confines. Confide in your spirit.
Universal Beings radiate love.
Can you feel it?

Symmetry
Drifting along the stream in the garden of my mind
what matters is not in motion,
rather what is at rest.
The fabrics of existence are weaved in intricate patterns
of which can be seen as signs
while we voyage through space
on this third rock that circles
in an elliptical manner around the sun.
Solar. Soular. Energy. In our ch’i.
Listening to the song of love,
I give my self to you whether WE accept it or not.
Embrace. Erase. Replace hate. Agitate.
rearrange for a positive change.
Love struck the butterfly and stung like a bee.
Walk the fine line, assuring that both sides you see.
Balance beams of light. Reflect and resurrect beauty,
personified in you am I - love!

Manifested Realizations of Meditation
During the course of meditation, it is perfectly normal for one’s attention to stray from the original intention of the meditation. Through the repeated pattern of refocusing one’s attention, several realizations will manifest - seven of the realizations are expressed below*:
1) One will realize that thoughts and emotions are not permanent. They are merely passing moments in our mind and body. It is not necessary that these passing moments leave a lasting imprint.
2) Once we awaken to the eternal now and remain open to all that is, the extreme fluctuations in our emotional response to the happenings of life will begin to subside. This is the optimal state of living in balance.
3) One will also realize that when our thoughts are focused on something other than the objects of fear, hate or worry – these negative emotions cease to exist.
4) We have the distinct ability to choose our thoughts. So, replacing worrisome, hateful thoughts with positive, loving and peaceful thoughts one will inevitably manifest a healthier, balanced emotional well-being.
5) It may seem that overcoming our emotions is rather unbearable. However, even the most gut-wrenching emotion is manageable.
6) If we place the focus on the physical sensations of our body rather than the emotional response produced by the content of one’s thought, we will be able to ease the strain more successfully.
7) Over time, we are able to overcome the negative, habitual patterns of thought and perception as awareness of them is increased.

Love
From here to eternity sharing the breath of life
Walking on water; wash over me.
Watching the seed flourish from afar,
I wait. I wonder. I will.
Whispering wisdom, how sweet the sound…
Amazing grace –
Accept this world,
As it accepts us.
Walk in the winds returning to truth.
The palace in the sky
Has its roots in the eternal now.
Forever is a second with you.
Timeless. Selfless. Mindless
Endless…

IT ALL BEGINS WITH YOU – YES, YOU!
What happens when we search in every direction for an answer, only to find that we exhaust ourselves in the quest for personal happiness and wellbeing? Why do we point to others, as well as, supplementary factors to place blame for the “disconnect” we find in our lives?
360five founder and Author John Stuart has answered these questions in “It All Begins with You”. Stuart’s influential piece introduces an insightful dissertation on the most important yet forgotten person in your life – YOU! With years of experience and personal devotion, Stuart immersed himself into an understanding that we are in control of our tomorrow.
A positive perspective on life is one of the most precious gifts that a person can ever expect to be blessed with. This book is the true outward expression of John Stuart’s evolutionary life work. His insight resonates with all age groups. John Stuart says, “This is a book for everyone, at every stage of their life.” There is no doubt that John Stuart’s message of positivity has a solid sense of place with the younger generation, as he has a masterful ability to motivate and connect with them on their unique level. However, Stuart has also fostered a strong following with the 35 to 50+ age group. Make no mistake, this is not the usual “live and learn” book. Even the most hard core ‘self-help’ junkies will find this work to be exceptionally captivating.
“John Stuart is a GIFT. The message he shares in “It All Begins With You” is EMPOWERING and RELEVANT. This is subject matter for ALL AGES! Parents: read this to your children! Children: read this to your parents! John Stuart’s words and intention cut through spiritual and emotional barriers, leaving a source of UNDENIABLE WISDOM that all can return to, time and again. There is no truer TRUTH than to know how and why IT ALL BEGINS WITH YOU!” -Rev. Rosemarie Leslie
Reverend Leslie is an ordained minister and spiritual life coach in South Florida. Together with her husband, she has written three children’s books and has collaborated with numerous authors to spread a message of emotional and spiritual wellness.
Stuart’s book hit the shelves in early August of this year, and continues to assist people in finding their own inspiration toward health, wealth and wisdom. Stuart will be appearing at area venues and exhibitions; to contact the author, or for more information, visit: www.360five.com.

Don't Get Lost In Translation
“Don’t Get Lost in Translation: December is Spiritual Literacy Month”
By John Stuart
With the events that are arising, globally, many people are beginning to make the shift to understand spiritual consciousness and connectedness. We are just, now, coming into our global awareness with the advent of internet, satellite and other global communications technology. On a personal level, our awareness is expanding exponentially. How can we make sense of all this, especially with our varying views on religion and spirituality? Equality is a global, moreover, a universal issue. At the same time, personal freedom is an intimate experience. These cannot be forfeited. Our personal pursuit of spiritual identity and connection is one that has many paths. The choice is adopting which one that resonates most with our personality and the core of our being while accepting that there are other paths just as equal as our own. A principle of harmonious accord is that as long as we do not infringe mentally, physically or spiritually upon another being, we can live in harmony with each other.
Most of the religious texts share the principle of oneness and offer guidance for wholesome living. December is a month that celebrates spirituality and religion in all its glory. However, the meaning has been somewhat drowned in commercialization. If there is one gift that we can give, let us give one to our self. If we take care of and give to our self without being selfish; we will share that love in return, unconditionally. This is the spirit of the holidays. This is the essence of spirituality – connecting to the gift of life, living and all that is. We share in this journey together; let’s walk our path holding hands knowing and believing that we also share the same destination. Again, the path we choose is a personal and intimate experience. Instead of blocking the road, we can share in the joy of our adventures and the fruits of our labor. Celebrate life and appreciate choice. “Seek and ye shall find.” Matthew 7:7
John Stuart is the author of It All Begins with You and founder of 360five. For more information on John Stuart and his writings, including his Daily Dose visit www.360five.com

Let's Do This
Are we appreciating what is naturally real? We have nearly synthesized everything. What more can we simulate? Are we attempting to tempt fate? If we continue, we will create ourselves into extinction. Not all of which we create is destructive, however we are pushing the extremes.
How we wish to grow is a personal choice. I don’t think that we give ourselves enough credit. For too long we have thought of ourselves as infinitesimal and unable to effect change on a global level. It’s time to rise to the occasion. It’s really just accepting the realities of our choices. If we choose not to be consciously aware of the effects of our choices, we leave much to chance. Chance is when we close our eyes and roll the dice hoping to receive a 7 or 11. In life, there’s too much to be left to chance. With that being said, when we are consciously aware of our choices, miracles begin to happen – so much that it’s too much to be considered chance. We have the choice to believe in these little miracles. We have the ability to choose what we want to manifest in our life. It is about making the choice to believe. Belief is a personal experience and part of a collective meme. What would it take for our global culture to evolve to an understanding, appreciative, tolerant and respectful global community? As Gandhi so eloquently stated, “You must be the change you wish to see in the world.”
Let’s do this! =)
thank you for your conscious effort!

Dreams of Inspiration
Breathing in a dream that calls from the mist of the reeds.
The magical flute whispers universal truth
as it weaves through the mystical landscape.
The coming of the light is upon is. Believe!
The vibrations of love resonate with harmony.
Close your eyes for a moment. Open your ears to your soul.
A clearing in the clutter. Oh, sweet sounds soothe the spirit.
Touch the untouchable. See the unseen.
Reach the unreachable. Feel the unfelt.
Drifting… drifting… drifting…
Lay upon the riverbank as the kaleidoscopic eye shifts to but a
twinkle.
The breath of land - inspired.

IT ALL BEGINS WITH YOU
Being open… truly open - is something that deserves our greatest attention. The time is now. For too long we have been living for the future – for what will be, should be or could be. What if we returned to ‘now’? Would we acknowledge the respect life deserves in this mental state? At times, we lose perspective of what ‘is’. What is important to you? What do you love? What do you ‘really’ love?
We are deserving of so much more. Not more things, but more of less – less stress, less complication, selfless. The saying “Life is a journey; not a destination.” is a paradox of how simply complicated life is.
A see-saw requires effort to create balance in a world of what one sees and what one saw, past, present or future. Realizing that life requires effort/action in order for it to be balanced is essential to our re-evolution. It all begins with YOU.
Be. Balance. In. Harmony.

Body Scanning
Recognize how your body reacts to the stressors of life. Our body recognizes stress prior to our conscious mind. Therefore, the more proficient we are at picking up on the body’s physical reaction; the quicker we are able to reduce the impact of the stressor. This will also create a much stronger mind/body connection.
An exercise that promotes this mind/body awareness is Body Scanning. I find this most effective to practice at night before retiring to sleep. It is a great way to tune in and relax.
With your eyes closed, scans your body from head to toe (starting at the toes) for areas of tension. As you scan your body, pay attention to any area that is tense. It may sound a little weird, but ask yourself - “Are my feet tense? Are my ankles tense? Are my calves tense?” This strengthens the connection between your mind and body (especially if this is new to you) to the specific area mentioned. Once a specific area of tension is identified, amplify the tension (with your mind) slightly; becoming fully aware of its existence while making a mental note that all tension is self-produced. Is there any event/situation in your life that could be causing the tension? Be mindful of any necessary steps that will reduce the tension/stress. Do not spend too much time on one specific area; just be mindful of the area of stress/tension and continue until you have scanned your full body.

Soul Symphony
Seeing deeper into the soul of our being, we have been so enamored with knowledge and the ‘power’ of the mind. The mind is a powerful tool, however it can also be destructive if we do not incorporate the deeper sense of purpose. There is no secret if we pay attention to our in-sight. Our vision is much clearer when we open all of our senses to the completeness of self – mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. This is where we connect with the infinite energy, God, source, creator…

What if we viewed other nations, races, religions, sexual preferences, ethnic background, social status or other personal prejudices the same way we view marriage? Not the marriage that comes to mind where there is a 60% chance of failure, the marriage consumed with regret, the marriage split due to infidelity, the marriage riddled with the day to day stresses or the marriage desensitized by illusions of a greener pasture. Rather, the marriage that embraces two acting as one - where we stand by each other in sickness or in health; for richer or poorer; for better, or for worse. In the very fabrics of interpersonal relationships that we value, we accept this - unconditionally. The people we love and cherish at the very core, we accept their shortcomings and forgive their faults. We offer our true, unguarded self. We make a conscious choice to give without condition of receiving. We trust that it will be reciprocated. There is no fear, no control, no struggle for power – just love. The essence of this love is not romantic; rather, it’s a spiritual connection – one that transcends definition. It is formless, speechless, timeless – however, it is felt. Our reality is a reflection of our personal decisions. The choice is ours.

Enter the Center
Come within - enter the center. All is calm and serene. Here is a place
of peace. Inhale the very essence of life and exhale the anxiety of
mundane existence. ~LIVE.~ What really matters? WE do! You, I and
everyone else around us. When the world around us seems to be on the
edge, come within… enter the center. All is calm and serene. Close your
eyes and feel the beat of life. Steady, it is. Ahhhh…. Detach from
desire and allow the flow of energy to guide the way. Sometimes when we
try, the pressure of the grip is so intense that what we are `trying’
to catch hold of slips right between our fingers. However, should we
let it go and it was meant to be - it will never leave us. Free… to be…
leave… or not to be… leave.

In stability and freedom.
We must be diligent today.
To wait until tomorrow is too late.
Death comes unexpectedly.

How to dwell in mindfulness

Engrossed in the moment, colors appear as patches of static
Patchwork interspersed - no need to look back.
Like a still lake, the future rests upon the shifting winds
The beat of the moon drums rhythmic waves
The passing storm soon fades like a glorious sunset
An eternal bliss reflecting many colours
Contemplating timelines and wave forms, now and then
Comes a union of truth - a sermon in symbols.
Commitment to a life of love in balance, harmoniously
In tune with celestial equanimity, let’s breathe.

A State of Love Unearthed
Gazing offshore
mesmerized in simple beauty;
I swallow the truth:
I am a self-fulfilling soul.
How can i tell you, mystic journeymen,
to wake up and love again?
The foundation is sound; all else shall balance.
Acknowledge this love supreme.
Breathe in its spirit.
Don’t stop ascending,
though some would say falling -
Should that be true;
allow me to be a shadow.
Love is omnipresent -
a harmonious accord.
You and I stand
between
chaos and order.
Let us support each other
in this suspended space.
Erase the face of hate.
Accept the truth;
earth is our state.

Soul Whisper
One odd day while trying to keep it eye level,
I received a call.
Not the ordinary ring to the ear -
but a buzz to the interior.
Hmmmm… deja vu.
Friend or foe?
Conscious of every sound, every movement
but there was no voice, no motion.
Flash back. Call waiting. Mind chatter.
Time out…
I am going deep cover -
heart to heart, soul to soul.
One to ONE…
Flow with me as we escape the ordinary,
day to day aroma.
Scaling new heights, purging the deepest depths
to the dimension of no dimensions.
Round and round. On and on. 360°.
Help me find my way. Hear… I am.
Supernova. Black hole.
Darkness. Light.
Balance.
A momentary glimpse of the prophet.
Not one, but all.
We are all masters of the universe.
“One is all. All is one.”
the Celestial Prophecy.
Infinite intimate connection with the eternal reflection.
Phone clicked - the mind plays tricks as time ticks.
Was I disconnected? Put on hold?
Sweating electric relaxation,
what is the forecast?
Where was I? Who was on the line?
love. Love. LOVE.

Understanding yet allowing; Knowledge and wisdom.

Trusting in nothing, answers are in the air.
Expanding conscious thought in a limitless boundary.

The Ever-last Dance
Peering from the mountaintop, I am as close as I can get.
Stretching for the truth, I lay in your comfort.
All that ever was is all that is right before me, beneathe me,
Above me, behind me, within me, without me.
Serenades of passion, purity, ubiquity, and grace.
Dance. You are constant movement.
Still, you are tranquil – a pirouette of wonder.
Nature’s merry-go-round.
Flashes of brilliance blurred by a preoccupation;
Stopping for bystanders –
Though you wait; as you always have and always will.
Now, it is my turn – dance with me.

If i don’t return from this soul journey,
know that I have returned.
Absolute symmetry - the end of the beginning.
Water flows where I walk.
Bells of eternity resonate through
the elevator of my chakras.
I have entered the aura of a parallel universe.
Leaping dimensions in a single sound.
Ideally, reality was once an ideal situation.
Thoughts manifest ideals, really.

What is life if we don’t experience it and value every known aspect of it including the unknown? We become hypnotized by the power of suggestion, however power and suggestion come with a price tag. We cost our self the very essence of who we are. Essentially, we sell our soul. The essence of who we are, or soul, is the unknown. When we connect with our soul and resonate in harmony, we manifest destiny. This is where the duality of heaven and hell play out. Heaven and hell are right here on earth. There is a choice and the choice all begins with us. It all begins with you… and me. Together in unity.

Resounding introspect: here is always there.

Open Space
Ready for love -
My heart is beating faster
Looking around, knowing
It rests within.
Dreaming of harmony -
Being mindful of what is wished.
Clearing the past; thus, the future
Is the Keeper of the Mystery.
YOU are the messenger.
Walking on air along the road to the sun;
how does it feel?
Yellow birds of paradise whispering in the winds -
secret fish diving deeper.
Give me the night, for the love of you
rains on us like meteor showers.
Dazzled by the light of this cosmic
Consciousness, Stargazing…
Seeing the pathways to heaven,
I conversed with God.
Writing time in sand; sending prayers
Along the imaginary highway.
Time to get back to serenity; reality awaits.
It is now time to journey to a star;
Taking a breather on this date with destiny.
Falling in love is easy; rising to the invitation is unique
Answer the call…
Love is always there.

the longing for happiness and for reason. The absurd is born of the

TRUE LOVE
Walking across the river of clouds
that lead to the songs of the sea,
each step fertilizes the secret garden
of universal harmony.
Painting the desert of mankind
with soulscapes of wonder and beauty,
each portrait is an echo of the people;
a sense of duty.
Dreaming infinite possibilities of paradise;
just like the river through the desert
each impression beckons glory;
a miracle in concert.
Believing the streams of consciousness
which permeate below as they do above
each intuition breathes inspiration -
TRUE LOVE.
~TRUE LOVE~

yin meets yan
Travel amongst the stars.
A first look from the outside in.
Chronicle of the times
The unbounded adaptation.
Fantasy. Life’s grand design.
Expand beyond the confines.
Commandeering the channels
Imagine without using the mind.
Surreal touches of reality -
A drop in the cosmic bucket.
My own private universe
Non-prophet; not going public.
A distant closeness
with a definite possibility
To string the theories
of absolute extremities.

Love’s gift is to strip away a lifetime of imprints in the psyche that
condition us to believe in separateness, returning us to the reality
we were born in, which contains only love. anon

Travel doesn't require motion
With my head held up high, I walk this road meeting strangers along
the way whom have taught me who I am, where I am going, how it
should be, what is going on, and why it all is. Greeting these
strangers,they are not ’strange’. They are just as I, travelling.
Some may be waiting, walking, falling, running, flying, floating but
they are my passengers, as I am theirs. Walking with my head up
high, i pay homage to the terrain that comes underneath my feet, i
welcome the weather that surrounds my being, and open my arms to the
challenges that present themselves to me. Do I bring about the
challenges because i open myself to them? Or rather do I overcome
them because of the awareness that they are there and the
willingness to suffer through them to gain the knowledge in order to
pass on to the next page? Is it in applying the knowledge of the
experience that the lesson is learned allowing the onward
transcension to the next chapter? I believe. Therefore, I be…
and leave. Along the travels, I share with those that I come in
contact with what I believe as well as absorbing the wealth of
knowledge that each individual and situation brings. Thus, allowing
an equal exchange of energy. See, it is not what others do for us
or what we can do for others. It just is… balance. How can I
continue to walk if I am off balance? I stop to rest… meditate…
breath… inhale the universal life force and exhale the imbalance.
I wake from a mental state. I rise on up and walk…. walk… i
just keep walking… but most of all, I shine my light and a leave
a footprint in the sand… a memory of compassion… a smile… a
gift of the soul… love.
Travel doesn’t require motion…

IT ALL BEGINS WITH YOU!
10/07/09
Beginnings - everyday is a new beginning just as it is a
continuation. Similarly, every breath inhales all that is, ever was
and will ever be. What is right here in this very moment is all we
*truly* have. It is our choice to seize the moment - capture it for
all that it is and all that it can be. If we pour our spirit into it
selflessly; beauty is embodied. Be you to fill life. Allow your self
to release control. Let it go. Travel into the creative pockets of
your self. Journey within. There are no limitations. There is only
potential and infinite possibility. When control is no longer a
factor - natural progression and synchronicity become synonomous and
clearly evident.

Listen. Trust. Be.
There is such beauty to be found at every twist, turn, dive,
bottleneck, and/or potential roadblock. What we may perceive to be a
`potential’ negative situation may be exactly what is necessary for
us to be there for us to change our perception. Lost? If we continue
perceiving the same circumstance in a specific manner, we will
continue to receive the same outcome (more often than not). It is
not the situation that must change; it is our perception of that
situation that must change. Our attitude, our outlook, our view, our
vista… what our mind thinks, so we believe to be… so, then we must
change how our mind thinks. Sounds simple enough, eh? Simplicity is
the key to success. Keep it simple. Although, we may believe one
thing at the core of our being, it is the action of carrying that
core belief out that will change our conscious level. There is a
constant tug of war between our conscious mind and our subconscious
self. Once we are able to be consciously aware of our subconscious,
we will be able to transcend to the greatest of depths. Elevate!
There is a harmonious accord between consciousness and the
subconscious. This is the superconscious. This is being one with
the spirit. This is living in the now. This is acting on behalf of
our intrinsic beliefs. This is coming from a state of love. This
is the feeling of God. This is the higher power. This is divine
intervention. This is inspiration. This is the source of life.
This is the connection with the holy spirit. This is the way. This
is a balance between body, mind and soul. Listen… the sound.
Listen… the silence. Listen… the vibration. Listen… you are - love.
Trust what your self has to say. Trust your self. Trust.

short sighted and shortness of breath
Rain down with me as the Winds change direction.
Stand natural. Be as you Are.
The breath of the flute whispers in our ears,
Gently raising our spirit.
Identify with the essence.
Reveal the inner Whole.
Release outer control.
Rejoice in the dance of the soul.
The waves crash against the sands of time
Eyes are only closed when the third eye is blind.

Spontaneous Combustion
Breathing naturally – science is fiction.
Remember truth is not diction.
Depicting synthetic replicas of what is.
Forgetting limits of injustice.
Engage in the flow; release the friction.
Wishing realistically – dreams are visions.
Imagine balancing decisions.
Insisting gut feelings should be trusted.
Confronting freedoms I requested
Release the stress from indecision.

IT is.
Visualizing positive beauty; seeing beyond the outer shield.
Field of dreams; feeling what’s real.
Words need not be spoken, a token of appreciation.
Simply stated sophistication.
IT is

we ARE the world
There is something soooo magical about sharing love with those you
know, moreover those you may not. More often than not we tend to
hold the love we have for others within. Share it. Be open about
it. Be love. Be loved. Love comes with a grand mirage of hearts
and kisses and sometimes a “fairy-tale” like aura that almost
discounts its true beauty, magic and mystery. Love just is. Accept
it for what it is without creating what it is not. Love to live and
live to love. Love is simply being one who is mindful of our
connection mentally, spiritually, emotionally and physically to the
universe and all its creation. It has been said and sung, “We ARE
the world.” If we are mindful in the respect that we do not create
undue harm to anyone/anything whether mentally, spiritually,
emotionally or physically - we shall discover harmony and peace.
Much love to you and yours.

Listening in Queue
Somewhere a child is torn;
Born between dreams and reality.
Following through, believe
You are the gospel, no fallacy.
Feel the passion, listen
The silence is a tightrope.
Slow down, value the norm
A prophet takes no - credit.
Get it! Temptation
Time’s a’wastin’ – innocence.
Desolate – childhood trauma.
True love; no fear – power stance.
Balance.

Deep For You
Come on, there is nothing to fear
Holding hands; lands far and near.
Believe it, can’t you see?
Is your will beyond reproach?
You will feel it, unconditionally
Even if just for a moment; a daily dose.
Simple pleasures – true and real.
See it. Be it. It’s what you feel
Now. Forever is a choice.
The inner voice; it’s what you know.

Aim to Please
Times like these are moments in love
Breathing the elixir of life
Tokens of innocence resembling doves
Circling effortlessly in the sky.
Holding on to reality, loosely
Tell me of your dreams
Letting go, relaxing – profusely
Gratefully dead, it seems
We move on without care
So easy we forget
It still is – right there.
There are no regrets.
‘Aim to Please’

Back to Basics
The cycles of life repeat as day turns to night. With every breath, each cycle begins and ends in an effortless sequence of miracles. It’s the simple things that are, truly, the miracles. Yet, it’s the simple things that we so easily neglect. Losing sight of these little miracles is one of the reasons that we become stagnate - or worse, depressed. We suppress the very essential elements of life. The basics of life are the vital connection to creating harmony within our lives and with each other.
