No Room at the Inn: No Room in the Mind! #NoRoomAtTheInn

No Room at the Inn: No Room in the Mind! #NoRoomAtTheInn

I believe that, when the bible shares a story, it can be absorbed by our souls on many levels. For the spiritual seeker, you may be able to create a larger metaphor relating to the human psyche. In the recreation of Jesus’ birth, the “Inn” in this story represents the Mind. When Joseph and Mary arrived at the Inn, no rooms were available. The Innkeeper (metaphorically, the subconscious - the keeper of the mind) found room for the pregnant mother and her husband in the stable with the animals.

To my mind, this wonderful version of the Christ story helps us realize one very important fact as we enter this holiday season: What are we NOT making room for in our minds?

This week’s Challenge 6 on the Year to CLEAR Challenge below is: “What you have in mind, will appear in your life—good or bad.” Are you thinking about a new job, but not creating space for it in your life? Have you taken the classes you need to be available for this new position? Have you had someone look at your resume and make sure you have done the best job representing yourself? All of the above choices lead you to make room in your mind for the positive shift of creative change.

Change only happens when you take steps forward to increase possibility and look for guidance from Spirit. If you want a relationship, what exactly do you do to find one? When I was single, I took some time to pray about exactly what I wanted in relationship. I read an amazing book that prepared my mind for the “right,” secure relationship. Attached. by Amir Levine is the perfect book on so many levels. Once I realized my heart was ready for a securely attached relationship, I had to make room for love.

If you spend every night working late, hanging out with friends, or taking care of pets, parents, or children, you don’t have room in your life for another relationship. If a glass is full of old wine, you must pour out the old to make room for the new wine. So, begin by looking at what relationships in your life are actually not benefiting you, this includes relationships to habits, work and friends. For instance, is the amount of time you spend at work really helping your health and social life? Can you find a way to leave two hours earlier and make room for a date once in a while?

The next action I took in finding right relationship was to go online and find a couple of dating sites that actually were about connecting two people wanting healthy relationships. If you go to a dating site that is just about hookups and casual dating, you might as well not participate, if what you want is a partner.

I posted a recent picture that looked like me. (Please don’t post pictures that are two years old because you are too heavy now and are embarrassed at any recent pictures with graying hair. If you attract someone to your profile with a misrepresentation of who you are now, you are doing yourself a big disservice, and also setting yourself up for rejection. Either wait to lose the weight, color you hair, and post a good picture of healthy you, or be proud of your extra weight and every gray hair.) Trust me, plenty of people are overweight and even more are graying. Some people even desire an overweight man and woman with gray hair. I think you may find some on silverfox.com.

The next action you must take is to reveal your authentic self in the biography section of these dating sites. Most people don’t take time to reveal something authentic and attractive about their character. This is paramount in finding right relationship, especially in the heterosexual and lesbian world. (I hate to say this, but I can because I’m gay. I think that more heterosexuals and lesbians are likely to look past physical characteristics and look for good, secure mental and social qualities, than gay men. Gay men have learned to act more from a sexual and sensual perspective than most other couples. This isn’t speculation. Ask 99 out of 100 gay men.) Yes, the people who actually look for a good person do read! If someone just looks at pictures, you are not likely to find secure relationship there, either.

Once you have done the legwork, then the rest is about letting God and Spirit lead you to the right person. I spent a lot of time looking at profiles and people. I sent a few letters to some men I thought would be right for me. However, what you don’t know about most of these dating sites is that many of them keep the profiles online long after the person has exited the dating process. So, you may send 10 letters and only one person may be currently, actively looking. Make sure you look at the last time that person you are interested in logged on. I saw a person on Match.com whom, I know, has been in a 3-year committed relationship and has moved to Atlanta, still in the actively-looking section of Nashville. The problems with dating sites part of the experience is not fun. But the more you put yourself out there, the more responses you will receive.

Be careful and ask a lot of questions of the people you talk to. Make sure the person is real and the person he/she claims to be. Ask for more pictures. Ask questions about life and past relationships as it becomes appropriate. This is called vetting a person. You want to be sure you’re on the same page before you waste time meeting for coffee, first. If a short date goes well, then take it to the next level for dinner. Make some Room in your Inn!

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

#Possessions: You Can’t Take Them with You

#Possessions: You Can’t Take Them with You

As I lay on the couch, my puppy perched above me on a pillow, a blanket nestled around me, the wind lashed at the trees outside. Without reason a wind tunnel swept under my carport and blew the roof right off. In one second, much of my roof was destroyed, my car had shingles and drainpipes on it, and everything in my storage shed got drenched from the torrential rain. In 5 second, everything in the front of my house was gone.

Ten years before that, I sat in my front room playing the piano. Again the wind lashed out at my windows. I could feel the pressure almost break them. I opened the curtain to see outside. Porch chairs, trees, and plants swirled in funnels swiftly down the street. I rushed to the bathtub. In about a minute, all became silent. As I walked outside, everything from my side of the street had mangled the opposite side of the street. Roofs were blown off, houses damaged, trees uprooted, and devastation lay waste all around. I just a minute.

Children have a tendency to take possession of all the gifts you give them. At some ages they simply won’t share. “Mine!” they say.

Adults tend to want to help them understand that the toy is for sharing, even though it may have been given to you. But, it is from the deepest part of the ego that the soul longs to take possession of objects.

When you buy a brand new car, your biggest fear becomes the first ding or dent. You park it in remote places to protect your new ego pride. Yet, you go to your doctor’s appointment and park on the street. While the doctor treats you a hailstorm passes through. You come back to your brand new car with it now looking like it has a bad case of the mumps. Nothing keeps us from maintaining the personal possession law. Spirit will always show us that what appears to be ours on this earth, we truly borrow from God.

If this remains true, then why do we hold so tightly to the possessions we work hard for and the accolades and honors we achieve? I remember a time, when I first began in the performing arts, how much I enjoyed getting applause and standing ovations. The ego thrives in this environment, which is often why artists can become egotistical. But it doesn’t take long for anyone to know that possessions are just things. They hold no spiritual value, only worldly value, and simply can’t buy you peace. If you want peace, you have to let go of the value you put on your ego life and take complete possession of your spiritual life and goals.

23And Jesus said to His disciples, "Truly I say to you, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24"Again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God." 25When the disciples heard this, they were very astonished and said, "Then who can be saved?"…

#Commitment? Love Is My Decision

Commitment? Love Is My Decision

My path keeps crossing people I have dated. Last night I ran into a man whom I dated, which ended up with him going back to a younger guy, because the dude had trouble with him saying “I Love You.” When the younger guy realized my old date loved him back, they got back together, and alas, we stopped our dance.

I speak about this because I asked him if his relationship was going well. He rolled his eyes. “I don’t know. I don’t ask for commitments,” he said, basically.

I actually shook him. “What? Love is a commitment—a good one. One that expects the best from each other.” I thought of Allen sitting close by and the kind of love I appreciate without even asking for. And also the kind of love I ask for and, because of commitment and respect, get in return.

My old friend looked at me like I was crazy. Can you imagine what intimate love would look like without the unsaid words of commitment we expect from those who nurture our hearts? From anyone who loves me, I commit to:

Balancing his/her needs with mine;

Listening intently with a compassionate heart;

Praying for the goals that would bring them hope, joy, and prosperity;

Helping when he or she is down; and mostly

Representing what the world doesn’t in relationship—being the crystal in the chaos.

If love can’t provide my life with some or most of the above, why even love? I know that the scriptures teach us to love without condition, but I’m not talking about brotherly love. I speak of committed love. The love we don’t HAVE to give. This is the intimate love that we CHOOSE to give, such as in friendships and intimate partners. Without commitment we would be living in the exact chaos the world has to offer.

And what of that?

Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. (1 Cor. 13: 4-7 NASB)

Finding Peace in #Organizedchaos

Finding Peace in Organized Chaos

A butterfly crawls on the earth on a multitude of legs, then finds its home wrapped tightly in a cocoon to create a magical metamorphosis that creates colorful wings and the ability to fly. Is the butterfly’s path mere chance, or is chaos, actually, the painter’s palate on which God creates?

In the Blog “Facts so Romantic,” Brandon Keim writes a story of the organized chaos that makes the beauty of a butterfly. He remarks that what looks to be demarcations of colors in monarch butterflies, actually is gradient color changed by chance. Each butterfly at its cellular beginning has random colors choices it could express. Out of what seems to be cellular chaos perfect beauty expresses.

I believe the world manifest a great deal of chaos. In fact, should we try to make sense of much of our lives, we would stand in utter disbelief and confusion. But to sit outside the chaos in the subconscious, observer mind, God allows us to see the intricate work of a creator who defies confusion to bring authentic life change to each of us.

Last night I sat with my partner at a bar with a couple of dear friends. In the bar were two people I could have had a relationship with. Enough attraction existed for me to have pursued each connection, but something went amiss, and nothing came of either relationship. I stood next to my partner in amazement, wondering had chaos brought us together or had it taken chance away, so that we would meet and destiny would be fulfilled?

Allen and I talked about it this morning. Allen gave me the title to this blog. I love when he speaks of something passionate and allows me to use his idea for something to share with my readers. Life often takes a village. The more I live, the more I realize I would have no joy if it were not for my partner, friends, and family helping my life take shape and beautiful form. But my personal shape came from a horrible past. Also, many friends have fallen by the wayside to take me to this moment in life.

I am exactly where I am supposed to be. We all are. However, your predicament and mine doesn’t mean we have no choices in this world of chaos. In fact, we have many choices. Just understanding you have many steps forward in your life to create the perfect scenario for peace and love, give you hope and faith that life can change on a dime. Many friends have often asked me how I have the moxie to continue on from so many disparaging moments in my life.

I know that deeply seated in my heart lays the idea that Spirit has a personal goal for the world and I. My life is intricately weaved into the fabric of creation. I have a purpose, as do you. When we step into this spiritual purpose, we ignite the fires of change and forge a path of peace in the chaos that makes life appear like a synchronistic loom weaving all of our paths together for the good of Spirit who chose us to be here—in this moment—right now.

Let us rejoice in it!
