Good Night Status Quo! ~ A Dark Knight Profound Message :)
Feb 23rd
Warning: This Video May Knock Your Socks Off, But Will Definitely Keep Your PJ’s ON! 
I wanted to go out on a limb here because the Bat View is INCREDIBLE!
Let me say this AGAIN! It’s NOT about Perfection…It Really Involves Honoring the Process. This Extreme Example Illustrates this Point. Be the Creative YOU by simply Being REAL, and that IS the UNIQUE BRANDING PRESENCE.
Despite the “imperfect” dark filming conditions, I could have selfishly kept what was wanting to express itSelf to “myself”. However, I had to stay TRUE and Reveal something profound. Forget about the lack of “professionalism” which is semi-important for appearance but cannot compare to the Presence of ESSENCE of LOVE I’m about to share.

Feb 22nd
When I filmed this video, I was SCARED, FELT RUSHED, and APPEARED CONSTIPATED!!! LOL! 
It was my first ever video using my new camera and it was quite weird speaking to the lens and holding my arm out to film myself in front of a crown of people walking about. I debated whether to put this video out especially since you can’t even see the Olympic Flame in the background!
When I filmed The Wholy Shift?! Glow with da Flow Show later that day, I was WAY more comfortable especially being with my good buddy, Wade Lightheart.
Remember, it’s NOT about being perfect. Rather, it’s ALL about BEING REAL. I KNOW I will improve with practice, and I’m using this opportunity to laugh at myself…IT Feels Absolutely Freeing!

Loading ...Awe of the Eagle: Leadership Through Osmosis
Feb 11th
Leader are not special. Leaders don’t take credit. Leaders humbly recognize the inherent gifts of Genius and see to it as their responsibility and duty to share by uplifting the collective humanity with their perspective of the Grand Vision.
Summer Time in da SC, BC, C!
During the summers, from the house balcony in the Sunshine Coast of British Columbia, Canada, I would see tiny black dots of Bald Eagles soaring in a circular motion way above the clouds in the sky. Sometimes, I would see one perched on a pine tree not too far from me. And although I don’t hear well sometimes, I can hear the caw of the Eagle from the sky.
Awe Full & Full of Awe
When I observe or reflect upon these magnificent creatures, I am overcome with profound awe of their inherent beauty, power, strength, and freedom. I fully comprehend why Eagles are associated with everything the original United States stood for. The founding fathers had known that the power of symbolism – “Stars and Stripes”, “Red, White, and Blue” & the “Bald Eagle” – had become meaningful for all as the Spirit of Independence, Democracy, Capitalism, and the Entrepreneurial Spirit. Unfortunately, these high values have been manipulated and abused but with the current awakening movement of the contrast, these values are returning with conscious choice as humanity evolves. We are realizing that these are Self-Evident Gifts of Life and it’s our absolute duty to allow that creative expression of what we are be expressed or we die.
The Awe of the Eagle is a call to those, including myself, who are ready to step forward and claim the responsibility and duty to rise above the “me”, to become and inspire the Grand Vision of Universal Love.
Alone Time & All-One State
After meditating, contemplating, and praying, I can not help being overcome with Joy when the Grand Vision of Universal Love carries me and activates a creative process to share the inner genius of the Mind. One only has to remain still not just in posture, but in daily activity to become the latent seed that germinates with the flowering of the Real YOU, the True Self. By just showing up to the sacred altar of Stillness, leadership unfolds through osmosis.
da Ocean of Absolute = power river + income stream
That Power will guide you first as a stream that flows into a river and eventually to the Ocean of Absolute. The magnetic generation charges you with Wholy All-Purpose Power Flower and all becomes clear. When two or more Eagles congregate in Wholy Union, the MasterMind brainstorming potential, exponentiates!!!
The Wholy Shift! Perspective of the soaring Eagle is indeed grand. The focus is laser. Projections of projects reveal themselves effortlessly. But taking off first requires a little bit of grit from the Eagle by intention of the Goal and initiation of wing thrust. Momentum carries the Eagle from there.
Total Knowingness and Complete Trust
Leaders and Eagles know that they, themselves, are not perfect, but that the Perfection is in the Process of naturally Being the Meaning of what leaders and eagles are. They are proactively moving in the direction of Sol Soul Solutions.
The rise & fall and ups & downs of external system pressures are utilize, not to be resisted, but as leverage to spread the lofty wings of Realized Loverage to attract other Eagles to align and unite in the upward wind vortex of the Grand Vision of Universal Love. They trust in that inner strength and exemplify true leadership by reaching out their wings to eaglets to fly with them. They know that All else falls into place like leaves in a stream.

Dearest Friend,
Welcome to my personal blog! Let me tell you a little about me, the journey, and the Vision I hold in mind.
A Glimpse of Light
I was born in Santa Monica, California and raised in the beautiful diverse city of San Francisco. From an early age, I was exposed to it all: Food, Culture, Nature, and my favorite, Play. It was through sports, that I experienced the peak state known as “the Zone”.
For the a little over a quarter of my life, I was hearing impaired and wore hearing aids. Communicating was difficult since I couldn’t hear well some of the time and couldn’t annunciate words properly. I relied tremendously on lip reading. I also suffered from intense allergies and sinus problems.
Despite these “handicaps”, I was “in my own world,” captivated and mesmerized by the surrounding beauty I was experiencing all around me but had no ‘context’ to which to understand it.
There are no “accidents”.
At the age of 15, a freak ice skating accident resulted in the loss of one kidney. When I awoke from surgery in the intensive care unit, I vowed to forever respect “my” body. During the recovery, I witnessed first hand, the healing miracle of the human body. This event left me in a heap… of questions – “Why did this happen to me?”, “Why am I here?”, “What is my purpose?”… I believed that everything happens for a “reason”, but I wanted to know what that reason was. This led me on a journey to find the answers.
Inquiry
Hungry for knowledge, I passionately and relentlessly sought out information, spending thousands of dollars on books, tapes, videos, seminars and schools on body, mind, and spirit-related topics. I studied pre-medicine only to drop out of college burnt out, but gained a scientific understanding.
The Connection
Later on, I completed massage school and visited Maui, where I experienced a connection to Spirit unlike I ever felt in any religious traditions. But this made me more confused. I was torn between living a life surfing in paradise, aspiring to become a professional hockey player, or doing the “responsible” thing – “going to school to get a good job”. An “inner voice”, for some crazy reason, told me to finish school.
The Forces of Nature
Before my last semester of university, I saw the aftermath of a typhoon while visiting Guam. Having been through a major earthquake in San Francisco in 1989, I intimately knew of the forces of nature and its resulting destruction. But I also saw the power of community as the people came together to rebuild the island. I also visited the Philippines and saw the poverty and the huge disparity between the rich and the poor. This broke my heart and gave me a greater appreciation for life and the inspiration to help others in need.
Perserverance
Finally, after three attempts at college, I graduated from San Diego State University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Kinesiology, with an emphasis in fitness, nutrition, and health. By then, I had met and consulted with the top professionals in the fitness and sports industry, earned many professional certifications, created “Boot Camp for Kids”, and moved to Guam for “love”.
The Taste of Success and Surrendering to The Breakdown
On Guam, my massage, personal training/sports conditioning business, and children’s fitness program took off. Word of mouth spread so fast on the small island. I was featured on television, newspaper, and radio publications. But despite the success, I experienced back-to-back heartbreaks that led to a major breakdown and surrender…resulting in a shift in perspective of life as a whole.
Wholy Shift!
After 18 months on Guam, with an awakened knowing, I decided to pack my bags and go on the road to share the message of Wholy-ness, the Realization of Self without any religious dogma and indoctrinations. It has been one helluva miraculous adventure ever since! When I get to know you, I can share what I mean. 
I S.E.E.E! Vision
You see “my story” isn’t what so important to me, anymore. What truly matters is YOU!
I’ve learned a very valuable lesson during my rock-bottom time on Guam and that was to be in service to all who are ready to finally LIVE AGAIN! The Vision I keep in mind is I S.E.E.E! – I Serve through Education, Experience, and Example!
I am sharing with you what has literally transformed my life and has attracted numerous blessings, experiences, realizations, and most importantly, beautiful loving friendships. To me, that is True Success, not all the fleeting “stuff” I have achieved or gained. I know with all my heart that the real meaning of Success is like a Flower: The Most Powerful Expression of What You Have Become!
(Lover)age Power of Applied Internet & Information Technology
The Power of the Real School is NOW in our hands. We have access to incredible technologies that is truly bridging us together on this planet. We are becoming Global. Learning is happening at a unprecedented pace to the open minds. The “old” mentalities and systems no longer serves us as we evolve with Wisdom and Awareness for the Whole and the Freedom to live the lifestyle we were born here to live.

Loading ...Attention Vs. Time…The Battle Begins!
Feb 3rd
When you absolutely love what you are doing, time flies. Actually…it altogether ceases to exist.
[Achtung (Attention in German): What I'm about to share requires total Attention and full Presence. By the end this post, my hope is that you will know what the above italic phrase truly means. I don't mean the definition of the combination of words that are coming out of my mouth , but whether YOU will be touched by what those words re(present). My apologies if I go too deep, past the rabbit hole into wormhole territory. Sorry Alice!]
Is Time Real or Relative?
You see, time has no reality. It is arbitrary. Time was made to define, measure, and make sense of this “world.” Time as a measurement is “standardized” but as a feeling, is relative to the person perceiving it. Albert Einstein said, “Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute. THAT’s relativity.” What was supposed to be objective in the world of science has shifted to the subjective like in the world of art.
The world speaks of time management, but how can you manage something that doesn’t exist? When I close my eyes for a moment, time ceases. This is not a belief, but a knowing. If it weren’t for clocks and watches, how would we really know that time has an existence?!…Well, when I closed my eyes to outside world, what I know for sure is…THAT I’M ALIVE! How could I ever define THAT through time?! Life as Attention is the Only Real Tangible Experience of Consciousness.
Time as a Tool
Time is a function of science and technology. Technology is a progressive form that leverages effort so that we can spend more time in leisure, rather than survival, like hunting or scrubbing laundry by hand all day long?! (It wasn’t that long ago this was happening in history for the majority of mankind.)
Time is neither “good” nor “bad.” It’s a useful neutral tool that makes life easier, manageable, and more efficient. Time as a tool serves to improve our lifestyle so that we are free to express our divine Self on this (plane)t. Time as an identity, however, leads to unnecessary stress and suffering. “Dead”lines choke the living daylight out of any creative endeavors. Use time, don’t let time use you. Of course common sense suggests to attend to your external commitments, duties, and responsibilities, but don’t let time ever mess with your inner freedom.
Qualitative Productivity through Intention + Attention
Before setting into momentum any task, set your intention by asking these simple questions: Can I remain anchored in Awareness despite the world of distractions? Can I bring the Presence of the Essence to this moment? Am I willing to put forth my Whole Heart and Soul into the Now so that it is made with love. Step back and watch in awe what happens once you begin.
Attention as a State
Attention is the realm of Genius. By focused attention, one lives life with quality, spontaneity, and wonder. Everything expressed comes out with Power. One recognizes the power of the Instant as it is being recorded by the full presence flowing through.
There are No Differences, Only Distinctions
So really, it never was about a battle between attention and time. IT’s about truly comprehending which one is going to be your prioti modus operandi (Sorry, my Latin stinks!). Like Amazing Grace’s, “I once was lost, now I am Found”, what is going to be your (Found)ation? Which Order of Operation is going to be your primary identification: time or attention?
Attention is the Realm of the Infinite and Eternal, or Spirit. Time is the realm of finite, parameters and boundaries like the body. Recognize Attention as being the Grounding Foundation of Spirit, and time being the sweet high performance race vehicle of physical world that Spirit drives.
By operating dominantly in the realm of time, you are severely limiting your potential of expression, or creativity. Sure, time can serve as a motivating tool to accomplishing a goal by a target date, but eventually, you will enjoy the “slow-mo” flow of the timeless state of Attention that the “tool called time” will no longer be part of your repertoire.
Never allow time to rule you because WHAT YOU ARE is timeless, fearless, and powerful. Become fully immersed in the Process instead.
Carpe diem!
