Paul Walker and Fast Cars -
#paulwalker
Millions of people have grieved the loss of one of America’s
famous actors who recently lost his life in a fast car headed toward a
devastating wreck. Flowers and signs line the area where the accident occurred.
Clearly, this man was loved for his persona in the Fast and Furious movies.
My favorite was his character in “She’s All That.”
When a famous person dies unexpectedly, such as Princess
Diane, I’m amazed how, even though 99.9% of the people have never even met the
star, they grieve as if they were his/her best friend. How is this so? How can
we become close enough to a two-dimensional character to feel the pain and
anguish of loss in our own fragile hearts?
Some of what we experience is simply the surprise of the
accident gives way to an outlet from our own deeply-seated grief that has been
stuck in our subconscious for awhile. The grief could be about anyone or
anything in our own life that feels stuck, not necessarily for the star. We are
unable to express our true emotions about what really has happened in our
lives, so our emotions for the star express more easily the grief we feel for
something much deeper.
I believe that, for most of us who have never experienced
really deep love, we accept the premise of two-dimensional love as reality. Once
I had entered into a two-dimensional relationship with a man online that
appeared to be in the armed service, stationed in Europe. He told me that his
home was in Atlanta, and that he would be there to stay in three month. He said
looked for a healthy, secure relationship. The man’s pictures were beautiful. I
couldn’t believe that this man hadn’t been attached already. He was that
handsome. The fact that he was even talking to me online must have been a
testament to how wonderful and handsome I was. Right?
As I continued to get my daily messages from him, I didn’t
question that his English was a little inconsistent. Nor did I wonder why some
of his stories about the war zone he purported to exist in didn’t add up with
any of the news on television or online. By the time I began to suspect he wasn’t
a real person from the armed forces,
I had already convinced myself this guy actually had developed deep
feelings for me. Can you believe that the man who wrote a book on relationship
actually got caught in this kind of trap?
Well, it’s true. I’m admitting it because I want to help
people recognize the difference between a two-dimensional relationship and a
three-dimensional one. Online chatters often can portray parts of themselves
that are pure fantasy. They can find pictures they wish they were and post
them. Not all people seeking mates online are like this. My guess is that the
vast majority is not trying to lure you into sending money to them because
their combat company experienced an counterattack and was left without any food
or clean clothes. “Please send money to Nigeria, where my commander will be!”
sure sounds like a man who wants me for my mind, not my pocketbook.
Once I realized that this person was a fraud, I tried to
contact people in the FBI, people on the website, the news, but no one really
cared about my story. I guess this happens to a great many people. I wonder how
many are foolish enough to actually send a money order to Nigeria. That much I
did not do. To my surprise, though, the fraud complained that I was not
compassionate and didn’t trust him. As I was trying to bate him, I answered few
emails after that, just incase someone wanted to investigate who was using a
picture of a US serviceman.
Fast cars and surprising deaths don’t have to be something
you just heard on the news about an actor or actress. They can be a death of
love that you conjured in your mind. Because of loneliness and despair, you let
yourself be fooled by a two-dimensional online presence masquerading as
real.

Website in the Webstore. Thanks!
Below is information that I will be sharing for about a
month, as not every person on my list reads the blog every day. If you have
already read it, just skip over it. Thanks for understanding.
A
Year to CLEAR Challenge:
(Please Know: You Can Join Us At Any Point in the Year
Challenge.)
The masses search outward for things that qualify them as a
person, but I always go inward for that which quantifies me for greatness. At
twenty-five I preached on street corners in NYC as an in-the-closet Pentecostal
minister. One day I heard a still small voice say, ‘God cannot be contained in a
book or a law or even in a religion. Dig deeper, reach further to find me, and
you will find your authentic Self.’”
A Year to CLEAR Challenge!
The acronym CLEAR
stands for (Compassionate, Loving,
Enthusiastic, And Relationship-Ready). The goal of this project is to
engulf readers in a weekly study that will transform them by removing blocks,
promote self-growth, and give them wings to fly freely into daily life. Each
week, by going to BoSebastian.com and choosing the Year to CLEAR Challenge tab,
a new challenge or thought to provoke conversation, growth, and group
functionality.
My vision is to make Finding Authentic You the book to
have in your Kindle or on your computer. The book is a comprehensive look at
growth—spiritually, mentally, and physically.
As a yoga teacher and student of the Ayurvedic tradition, I bring
to the table understanding of physical challenges, the ability to overcome
mental problems with Life & Health Coaching, as well as hypnotherapy, and
expertise in meditation and spirituality as a minister.
The combination of all three in one book with an interactive
connection to like-minded readers, for one year, is what makes this Year to
CLEAR Challenge a must-do for every spiritual seeker.
The One-Year Approach to Change
No one believes he or she can change overnight. But success in
change comes from the metaphors of nature. Seasonally, life changes all around
us in nature. Finding Authentic You offers a gradual change perspective,
looking at the triune aspects of change as in yoga: Body, Mind and Spirit.
Accessing the
ability to change and finding
yourself actually pursuing change must be a daily search, which I call
getting to the “observer mind.”
In this frontal cortex of the brain we find the anatomy of
change and the power to counter every negative trigger of the human process.
The workings of Hypnosis, NLP (Neuro-linguistic Programming) and EMDR (Eye
Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) are all positive actions to help the
mind and body flow to a positive space for change.
Every aspect of FINDING AUTHENTIC YOU fulfills this
constant need for diffusing the negative past and dreaming of a fulfilling
future.
Step 1: Recognize That Change is Inevitable
Step 2: Release from Resistance
to Change
Step 3: Understanding Change and Allow Spirit to Define It
Step 4: A History Lesson—About You
Step 5: Look at Your Past with Compassion
Step 6: Making a Strong Commitment to Change
Step 7: Dream Your Fabulous Future
