Be Enlightened, Naturally!


To be enlightened is simply to be absolutely, unconditionally intimate with this moment. No more. No less.

It's simple, and much harder than it sounds.
Also ...

"Don’t try to be spiritual. That is only a word in the dictionary. Make it your goal to become a normally functioning individual. Let these principles shape you according to your real nature of a simple, decent, honest, unafraid human being."

~ Vernon Howard from Mystic Path to Cosmic Power


That is my goal for 2009.
To be as aware and available in the present moment as I can, without 'trying.'

"I'm Going to Jackson ..."


Sweet Victory ...




I'm done training for the year and I'm ready to party and relax.
Life is good and I have exceeded my goals for the year. 
I'm heading to Jackson ... look out Jackson Town.


In these crazy times, remember the simple things are the most important.
The good things in life are free...
I want to say thank you to Kelli and my boys especially for supporting me this year on my mighty adventure. Thank you, thank you, Thank you.



I will continue posting once a week about what's going on in Kelli, the boys and my life if you want to stay connected.
Thank you for all your support and remember, keep triing ...



Happy Holidays and I love you all and miss you all.
Eric
