Sunday Message: THE MODERN JEDI FARMER

This week’s Sunday Message is all about the transformation in our thinking that HAS to take place BEFORE, DURING and AFTER we set out to change the world. One example is from Michael Pollan’s book, The Botany of Desire, and that’s the idea that “The grass is USING us to keep back the forests…” In NLP we call it a “reframe.”

Are we using farm animals? Or are the farm animals using US?

(probably both :o)

But what I’m getting at is the ability to shift our thinking in ways that empower us exponentially.

My training in Neuro Linguistics has helped me to run my own thinking and emotions better than I used to. While I’m far from “done,” the fact that I’m living out two of my major life long dreams, to record and share my music as well as to create a sustainable, regenerative farm, is confirmation that all the “modern Jedi” stuff that I spent decades on learning and practicing is actually paying off…

As I write this, we are having some pretty intense WIND! Yesterday the temps were in the balmy 60’s (F) while today the temps are in the frigid teens. Most of us spend our lives walking against the “wind” of old patterns of thought and behavior. We often dread change and do our best to not rock the boat in many areas of our lives. But ultimately we have to be AWARE of the emotional winds that threaten to knock us down. And with a little bit of adjustment, we can USE the wind to fly.

Just sayin’

Peace, Love & Groovyness!
