Now more than ever, its time to Live in Joy!

There is so much to be Joyful about! Celebrate your many blessings!

(I’m alive, I can breath, I have a computer I have internet I can see I can read I am self-aware etc etc etc)

I’ve had an amazing stay here in Amsterdam. Its been a beautiful adventure; I’ve written a lot, started a new website (www.DolphinWhisperer.org – still under construction) and gotten inspired to live even simpler and more joyfully! How? By letting my heart lead the way, and the heart always leads with joy…

Seriously! Joy is the path of Tao, life, flow!

I’m headed back to Florida tomorrow, then over to beloved Bimini. I’ve got three upcoming opportunities for you to CELEBRATE This Most AMAZING TIME In HUMAN HISTORY!

SURFING the SHIFT with PLAYFULNESS & JOY!

Amanda meets Spiral!

The dolphins have increased the intensity of their interactions with us tremendously – this summer I’ve had some of the most playful and transformational swims with them in my 16 years of bringing people here.

Earlier this month I was swimming with my friends Spiral and Swoop and the gang, playing an intense game of seaweed tag. We were passing the seaweed back and forth, me with my hands and Spiral and Swoop with their mouths, pec fins, dorsal fins and tails. We were having a blast, and it seemed a god time to bring up the question I’d brought with me.

"NOW is always a great time to play!"

“I’ve been guided to bring a couple more groups out to play with you this fall. How does that feel?”

“Bring ‘em!” was the immediate reply. “We will have fun with them, and will assist them in opening further!”

“Its good to have more people holding a focus of joy”, they said. “The world is changing on every level, and those who channel joy and playfulness make a powerful contribution to the process.”

“Is it safe” I asked, having had a wave of dire predictions directed to me by family and friends.

I felt the smile of their reply… “We are all eternally safe, here to leap and play across all creation. Relax, my friend, all is well. Everything is handled by a Loving Creator grander than all of us combined. Trust your joy, for it will guide you to what is truest and best for you.”

I was shown the image of parallel realities lined up alongside each other, each a bit unique from the one next to it. They went from scary to beautiful, so beautiful that I forgot to breath…

“There are infinite realities that share this planet, each with its own degree of fear and love. The question is always the same; which will you choose in this moment?”

I felt the warmth of love flood my being, felt the release of tensions held out of loyalty to others whom I love, others who continue to see a cloudy future… a big sigh came out of me, I felt at home and relaxed, allowing myself to enjoy the beauty that calls so clearly.

“Some will experience separation, others will be filled with joy. To each his own. For us it is an easy choice, one made long ago when we decided to be born into these bodies so beautifully designed to play and love life.”

Who was I to argue? I sure was having a blast playing with them. Then Spiral dropped the seaweed in front of me, and as I kicked hard to grab it, Swoop swept in and beat me to it, squealing and blowing a stream of bubbles out his blowhole (See the photos below – you’ll see us in action when I get the video posted!).

We played for a long time, and pure exuberance filled me many times over. I felt the joy, the relief and the excitement of remembering that all is well, and its being handled by a loving creator much older and wiser than us. I felt the excitement of knowing that every drop of joy and playfulness we feel is a direct contribution to the frequency of this planet.

Joy is our nature, our divine inheritance, and there is no end to how much fun we can have. As many saints and spiritual guides have said throughout history, joy is the unmistakable sign of the presence of God.

How much joy do you want in your life?

Giving you an Ocean of Hugs,

Joe

“Joy is the most infallible sign of the presence of God” Tielhard de Chardin

(Caveat: If you read this post and feel like there is something wrong or needs fixing, I invite you to sink deeper… :)

Its been over a month since I returned from India… and I see now more than ever the profound effect my experiences there have had on me…

Spending 6 weeks in a process of divine inquiry has ignited my desire for complete immersion with the Divine… Now, back into ‘my life’, while I have great appreciation for the joy and beauty and abundance, I also find myself restless and unsettled…

In the past four weeks I’ve had profound connections, joyful abundance, deep insights, beautiful romance, ongoing discovery, miracles galore, but strangely, I do not stay satisfied…

I go in and out, up and down… in the moment, immersed in Life’s beauty, I am happy and ecstatic… then the clouds roll in, the tide shifts, and I find myself profoundly restless and lonely, filled with a yearning that promises to overwhelm me completely…

In India they spoke of ‘God Realization’. I read Yogananda’s ‘Autobiography of a Yogi’ as a teenager, and I’ve read it at least once a decade since. I know what they’re talking about… a depth of intimacy with God, a closeness that beckons and taunts, calls out to us from some heavenly place within, a depth of intimacy that is so dear that tears start rolling down my face when I even think about it… (yes, they’re rolling now…)

This is what we all want; this is the original yearning… to be One with the Divine, Immersed with the Beloved, Totally Merged with the One True Soulmate…

I’m in an apartment by myself in Bimini, spending my mornings in contemplation/distraction/prayer and my afternoons out on my little rubber boat enjoying the magnificence of the ocean I love so much… I have beautiful friends here and yet I am isolating myself; last night was dance night and I stayed out on the water by myself; something yearning, gnawing within me, daring me to let this gnawing dig deeper, burn a hole straight into the ugly stinky yearning for God that has festered since the moment we agreed to play the game of ‘other’ infinite eons ago…

There are many ways I avoid this emptiness; read, watch TV, immerse myself in any number of projects that await me… I have coaching clients waiting for me to resume, my voicemail says I’m still in India, and somehow I have changed none of this, preferring instead to just be with this emptiness, this yearning…

‘Get a Life’ the mind says, ‘Jump back in the stream’ it encourages… but my heart, it says stop and feel, and so I feel and in the feeling, I allow the suffering and yearning I’ve run from forever to overtake me…

Yesterday, amidst another wave of feeling helpless and uncertain of what the hell I’m doing, of thinking I’m friggin’ crazy and need to get a life, I pull one of my Course in Miracles cards. It said:

“Nothing can prevail against a Son of God who commends his spirit into the Hands of his Father.”

Reading it triggers grief, hopelessness and relief; relief at the possibility that this yearning has an end…

I have reprieves… yesterday while looking for my dinner out on the sea a big grouper dared me to catch him… I chased him into a ledge, we played hide and seek for an hour, and my attention was solely on bringing him home to feed me and my friends. I say prayers, talk to him as we do our hunter/gatherer dance, invite him home, but in the end he splits and a beautiful Spanish mackerel swims over to me and takes his place.

I clean my catch out on the ocean in my little boat, watching the sun drop lower in the sky… I don’t want to clean the fish at the dock, preferring the solitude of the sea instead… while cleaning, I give thanks to the fish, his life feeding my own, feeling the dichotomy of life and death, give and take, the seeming polarities this world is ripe with…

The emptiness returns and I feel the yearning for company, of friends and laughter and conversation… If I hurry, I can still make it over to south island and join in the fun… But I know that the joy of this is temporary and soon enough I will again be faced with this loneliness, this aching…

I turn again to the yearning for God, feel it alive within me… I nurture it like a hot coal from which to make the evening’s fire… maybe tonight, maybe next time you will burn clean through me…

Back at the dock I’m hailed by two friends, it is great to see them… we share fresh sashimi, I cut up the mackerel right on the dock, and between bites of raw fish and oranges, we appreciate our dinner and the ocean’s offering. Eating the fish while standing in the water a crab scuttles across my foot, demanding his share of the booty… I cut off a piece and hand it to him happily; there is more than enough for everyone… Several more friends stop by, check out my catch, and then I’m on my bike, pedaling home in the dark, to my cave and refuge…

My internet connection is gone, there is no web for me to distract myself with… I turn on the TV for a bit, surf endless dramas and realities with a flick of a finger, knowing I am distracting myself from diving into this yearning.…

Finally, restlessly, I flop onto the bed, give space for this yearning to rise up within me… my heart center, my whole chest expands, the breath becoming softer, wider… I feel myself rising in love…

I am the vessel, a cup, the water level rising higher, higher…

Gently, easily, under its own power and grace the tide of love comes in… As beautiful as it feels, waves of discomfort come with it, discomfort in many forms; physical discomfort (my shoulder’s sore, I ought to roll over), resistance (its late, I ought to get some sleep), tensions from other places and lifetimes…

But the love, it surrounds me, holding me where I am in pain… I vacillate between simply feeling and the mind’s litany of reasons to run…

The scariest of all is the voice of hopelessness, the voice that said “I cannot, I dare not, go any further, because to dive into this yearning further and not have total union with you will completely break my heart… the grief of coming this close and then falling back again, I cannot… “

But I have pulled away from this grief too many times, and somehow, through an act of grace or surrender I know not, ‘I’ stay…

Awareness comes and goes, I’m floating in a sea of bliss, my breath coming naturally of its own accord… I marvel at the effortlessness of it and the pure joy of expansion…

And then the energy shifts, the grace pulls back… I try to ‘pick it up’, try to re-ignite, but the tide is falling…

In India the Guides and Bhagwan speak about the illusion of self effort and the grace of helplessness. Self effort will only slow the process, they say, and so I surrender again and again. Helplessness allows the Divine to step in, so I pray for helplessness…

Remembering all this I give up, roll over and sadly go to sleep, wanting that hot coal to burn completely through me… I pray that maybe it will happen in my sleep, but I have strange dreams, poking around in old dark places… we have traveled many paths on this journey of life…

I wake today, start again, and pull another card… it says:

“It takes great learning to understand that all things,

events, encounters and circumstances are helpful.”

I give thanks for all of this, ALL of it…

And decide to write down this yearning… its been a month since I posted a blog. I’ve started many beautiful posts, but always end up in a pause… I have been in too deep an inner inquiry to share much…

Writing this, typing out and reading the honesty of these words, tears come to my face… they flow easily, tumbling down my cheeks… much healing had happened since India, I have given myself full permission to seek the greatest relationship, the greatest path, the greatest adventure I could ever dream of; complete Union with the Divine… nothing else can come close, and yet everything and everyone IS this relationship… the mind scurries, flitting from one viewpoint to another as I surrender to this process, knowing that the Union I seek is inevitable, the Oneness we yearn for never left, and even this ‘search’ is an illusion…

India, Bhagwan, the Guides, they remind, inspire and awaken within me the passion to go for the greatest ride this world has to offer; complete God Realization… I am present to the game and up for the task… I am doing everything and nothing, and I have the hem of Her robe in my grasp… I am hanging on, hopefully and helplessly, lonely and happily, totally ecstatically…

The grief and the yearning has become strangely comforting, it brings God back into my awareness, back into my life, into me… I choose this over not feeling, I choose this over boredom, I am supremely thankful…

There are many days I am full and complete, I am hugely blessed in how much I feel Life coursing through this body… its just that somehow, I know to allow this yearning its due, to fully surrender and feel it, will only bring me greater, richer rewards…

I feel it creeping closer, closer… “You are mine” the Divine whispers… “Soon you will have me completely…” And so I let this fire rage, let it burn itself through me however it may, give myself utterly to it… grief and joy leap forth…I am ready to be swallowed, spit out into a wholeness where the rest of me awaits, watching my every step, cheering me on with total equanimity…

We are all awakening, giving permission to feel a depth of calling and oneness so deep that our knees buckle and we swoon at its presence… we spontaneously break into tears, overcome with the beauty, tragedy and magic of being human at this most precious time in our evolution…

This yearning has become so sweet, I almost don’t want it to pass… for it focuses me completely on the Beloved… do I want to be completely merged? Do I want to become fully One? A part of me is not sure, not ready to give up being a drop to join the ocean, for the love of Other, the Beloved, is so incredibly sweet it makes this whole journey a blessing…

All I know is I know not… there is no longer any choice, only the full surrendering to this amazing grace…

There is nowhere else I’d rather be…

This is my day, this is my week, this is my life… I get up and move forward; smiling, breathing, trembling…

*       *       *       *       *       *      *

I will be returning to India for another 4 week Deepening retreat this October 23rd to November 21st with a group of fellow Oneness Trainers and Blessing Givers.

Finally! A video for my dolphin trips! Check it out and let me know how you like it!

My friend Amanda Morton did an amazing job on this video… she’s masterfully woven film and music together in a way that gives me goosebumps!

My June 5 – 11th Bimini trip has two spots left, and there’s a few spots in my June 18 -22nd trip with my son Mark. The focus of the trip is Living from the Heart & Embodying our Passion!

The focus of this trip is living from the heart and embodying our passion and greatness. If you are interested, check out the website!

And if June is to soon for you, I’m returning to Bimini with my friend Malaena Mullen for a Oneness trip August 1 – 6th. The name of this trip is ‘Oneness, Deeksha & Dolphins’. Both Malaena and I are Oneness Trainers and we’ll be facilitating some pretty powerful processes of Awakening! You can check out that trip here!

Sending you Love & Blessings from India, the Land of Saints & God Realization! (I just realized that! ;)

Love,

Joe

I got a Facebook invite from my friends Matthew and Brad, the Gratidudes, to do the Gratitude Dance this Friday, April 22nd, at 3:33 pm (Its Earth Day! ;)

The Gratidudes are emissaries of joy, and they’re inviting us to dance our gratitude for life on such a global occasion. I invite you to join us!

I love synchronicity in numbers, and within 2 hours of accepting their invite and posting it on my FB page, the number 333 showed up two more times!

I sent out an email that I’d spent a week thinking about…. it was an invitation to share my community teambuilding process with the Oneness community… I cc’d myself, and when I saw a copy in my inbox, was surprised and delighted to see that I’d sent it at exactly 3:33 am! Sweet! What a beautiful affirmation of the timing of my intent! (and I’d thought I should have sent the email a week ago – huh! ;)

Then, I sat down to write a short story about a dolphin friend of mine. Again, I’d ‘put off’ writing this story for the past several weeks, and my attitude as I ‘finally’ sat down to write was that I was way behind and playing catch up…

The story came out of me in about five minutes…. the words flowed effortlessly, without a pause… Everything was there, it flowed seamlessly…

I was shooting for a 300 word story, and when I was done, looked at the bottom of the page…. the word count was 333…

We… are… such… channels… of… grace…

Without even knowing it! Even when we think we’re ‘late’, or ‘behind’ or whatever… we… are… right… on.. time!

XOXOXO!

“Joy is the most infallible sign of the presence of God” Tielhard de Chardin

There’s nothing like a flow of kundalini energy going up your spine to get your attention!

That’s exactly what happened to me last week, and as I lay there, feeling the most incredible warmth snaking its way up my body, I was giggling in delight!

Not too much, less I somehow engage the mind and somehow try to control, understand or ‘maintain’ the moment…

I have learned so much about the mind here at Oneness University; it has given me new ways of understanding consciousness and ego.

Most of us on the path of awakening know that we are not our mind… but its still so easy to identify with it. Here at Oneness they teach that the mind that so many of us think is us is not even ‘our’ mind; its one collective, ancient thought process that is running on its own. And it will continue to run, with or without us… and there’s nothing, repeat NOTHING, that we can do about it…

Pretty radical teaching for me! Radical and well, enlightening! ;)

So, as I lay there, this infinitely intimate, sensual, loving warmth moving up my body, part of me giggling in excitement, I just experienced…. and as I experienced, it continued to climb…

I’ve had kundalini experiences before, all the way thru the crown chakra, but this was different…. it moved so slow and graceful, I watched/felt with reverence and awe…

The perspective of these teachings is that we can’t even surrender, for there is no ‘me’ to do the act of surrendering… its just that surrendering happens, and consciousness is there to witness it…

Bring it on! :)

Sending you love & Blessings from India,

Joe

“Joy is the most infallible sign of the presence of God” Tielhard de Chardin

If there’s a phrase that sums up for me the grand ‘AHA!’ of my retreat here in India, it is the above comment…

The quote is on the calender of the Oneness University, and comes from Amma Bhagavan. The perspective here is that, until we realize that we are not the mind, and that we cannot change the mind, we will suffer. And as soon as we realize that the thoughts, beliefs, emotions that come from the mind have nothing to do with us and that we can do nothing about them, we become helpless…

And helplessness is exactly the condition wherein the indwelling Divine can reach, embrace, transform and awaken us…

Its a radical departure from what I have lived. And while I have resisted this perspective for decades, (including the belief that we cannot awaken ourselves, and that awakening can only come as an act of grace), I have fully embraced it during my time here.

The results are transformational… ‘I’ watch this mind’s endless habit of creating meanding and significance and judgment upon every action. We did an hour of gardening seva the other morning. I grabbed a hoe and began weeding. The thought stream was endless…

“I’m good at this, I worked on a farm as a kid”

“Look how well I can swing this hoe!”

“I’m doing a great job, better than anyone else”

With blisters forming on my palms, ‘I’ think “Look at what a passionate worker I am!”

“I’m one tough guy!”

“I’m no sissy, I’m rugged, but I won’t tell anyone about these blisters (that’ll make me even more rugged!)”

I set down the hoe and start weeding around a rose bush… the mind narrates; “I’m very good at this, I learned how to do this as a child”

“I am faster and better at this than anyone here!”

“I love nature, I have a unique relationship with nature. My relationship with nature is special”

The endless commentary is laughable… The more I just witness the thoughts, realizing they are not ‘me’, the more I am aware of a profound sense of peace and quiet…And the subjects and topics and triggers of the past, the alarms and hot buttons and painful judgments, are somehow gracefully losing their importance… and the simple joy of swinging a hoe,  pulling a weed and washing my clothes is more and more evident…

This morning, as the sun rose into the humid Indian sky, I walked the grounds, enjoying the feeling of absolute helplessness…. celebrating the truth that I am helpless and that I know nothing!

Namaste from India!

Joe

I love the ocean, and when I heard that the Japanese were dumping highly radioactive water into her, I got inspired…

I’m in India in the middle of a 28 day Deepening Course at the Oneness University, and amidst this immersion, the idea of us sending blessings (deeksha) to neutralize the radiation kept jumping into my meditations… my retreat-mates were a unanimous ‘YES!’… and I recorded it. Check it out, its FILLED with love!  (Thank you Amma Bhagavan)

“Joy is the most infallible sign of the presence of God” Tielhard de Chardin

Merry Christmas to you!

Merry Christmas from Bimini!

I’m in Bimini, the Bahamas, leading a dolphin trip for a wonderful family of Canadians that drove 24 hours from Toronto to be here for 5 days.

In the past few days, they’ve become my family too…

Jen’s here wth me, helping me out big time! And Nan from Calgary has joined us!

Today, Christmas Day, we went out and swam with a pod of wild dolphins.. it was, well WILD!

They rubbed up next to Shannon and me… it was so magical, they came so close…

I got a great quote about Christmas… it distilled the essence of the season for me; cut thru the fluff right to the stuff!

“Before Santa and presents and shopping, this holiday was enshrined to commemorate a guy who got nailed to a tree for daring to tell people to be kind to one another. If you have two cloaks, He said, give one away. Remember those who have less than you, be charitable, be good, be merciful.” William Rivers Pitt

Sending you Love & Blessings for your Christmas!!!

Joe

10 year old Shannon (the one driving the golf cart at 30 mph over the speed bumps!) said of her first day in Bimini; "I have a 1000 new colors"

I was working on the computer, got a ‘hunch’ to go to the beach…

Cool! Maybe its the manta ray! Maybe I’ll be able to free her up this time! I grab my dive knife and camera, just in case… (there’s no way I’m going to miss showing you the cutting of her fishing lines!)

I grab a dry towel, put on my swimsuit, then the phone rings and I get sidetracked…

The hunch comes back, “Get to the beach now!” Grabbing my still-drying wetsuit off the clothesline, I race for the car and hit the gas…

There’s several places I park… which one? What the heck, I head for the south lot…

Unloading my gear, I start talking with a group of divers who’ve just gotten out of the water (The ocean looks awesome!) Suddenly one of them points toward the water, “What’s that?”

My neck snaps into position… every sense on alert, I scan, excitement building… Is it the manta ray? Am I finally going to be able to free her of the fishing line?

A dark black blob, eighty feet from shore, moving slowly south… Manatees!

I’m off in a flash… running down the beach to get ahead of them, carrying my dive flag and buoy, heart pounding…

I’m five years old… singleminded… totally excited, racing for the sheer fun of it!

A few hundred yards and I stop, panting… I unravel my floatline, tie it to my gear, wade into the water (brrrr!), put on my mask and fins and kick away from shore… I want to get into position far enough ahead of them so my heart rate is calmed down by the time they arrive…

(If you cannot see the video, click here)

I used to lead manatee trips… its been a few years, but I’m re-inspired after today! If you’re interested in finding out more info, join the email list at www.PlanetaryPartners.com
