The Power of the Sun...

Learn to harness the light and energy of the sun to flow through you like fuel for a car.  If you think about this it makes sense, we are all light and energy and what better than the greatest source of that to fuel you up.  Our bodies are the vehicle of the soul, and the soul needs energy to be at optimum performance.

This was part of the task that was given to me by "the messenger" and as i go through my journey to finding who i am, i realized things about the message.  

Speaking of the sun, it made me think of Superman; yes superman, i know that this is a fictitious character and a Hollywood movie, but the message of the movie is what i am focusing on.  Plain and simple - What makes superman so SUPER?  The light of the yellow sun. 

The following link is an article i found as i was researching the subject:

What i like about it is that it is coming from an everyday person's angle, not complicated science to try to understand, just something we can relate to.

If everything is energy and it can invoke a reaction in us, and the sun is the biggest source of energy, then why not do like superman and use it to make super versions of ourselves. Versions that once we power up from the inside out, can do more, achieve more, create more, and become self-realized.  One thing that he mentions that i really believe in is about being present, being here, and living in the moment.  I've reached a great level of understanding of this by watching my daughter experience life on a day to day basis.  Her only concern is what she is doing at that moment, because to her the only time is now and she enjoys every second of it.  We, as adults, forget about this, because we become suffocated with responsibility, work, society and fitting in.  When the reality is that we already do fit in, on a soul level, we are all the same - ENERGY.  We got to accept what and who we are, physically and spiritually, to be able to grow and a big part to growth and self-realization is being present and here in everything we do; living in the moment. 

Take this for what is worth, and let’s become the Supermans of our own lives and reach greater levels of ourselves.

Who am i today?

Today i am a grateful person, grateful to those around me and those that took the time to share with me their story.  I feel very lucky to be a part of that. 

I received some great feedback yesterday from this, my first blogging experience; one came from my sister with a very deep perspective:  

"This is a manifestation of a man within different elements, that is manifesting who he truly is by peeling back the layers using the arts as a medium"

It was a great vision of what i am trying to do and it all came about because she asked why i titled it man.e.fold? Manifold means many and varied; having many features or forms; "manifold reasons"; "our manifold failings"; "manifold intelligence"; "the multiplex opportunities ... Synonyms:assorted, complex, copious, different, diverse, diversified, diversiform, multifarious, multifold, multiform, multiple, multiplied, multitudinous, multivarious, numerous, sundry, varied, various. My interpretation of that for this blog is Man (me) .e (electronic, email, etc) .fold, and when i thought about it all, my sister is right, that's exactly what this is - a manifestation of me with-in different elements, the manifolds of me.

So now than i am on the road to finding myself, a task was given to me to by that man whom i will refer to as "the messenger": Find who you truly are through music.  For me to go to a Borders type of place and put on the headphones and find sounds that ignite something inside me. That whichever music i chose, use it to meditate and harness the light, that the energy of light will be the engine that will drive me to self-fulfillment and help me achieve all that i am meant to. 

A very interesting fact came to me yesterday about "the messenger", now keep in mind that i don't know this man and he doesn't know me and that there are human connections in life that go beyond people you can physically see on a day to day basis. That there are universal connections between souls that do not have to know each other on a physical level. The fact was that connections are about creating movement and after the first message i received, it moved me to read, research, find resources of information to make myself knowledgeable of what was being said to me.  After i received this task, it moved me to create this blog and it moved others to open up and share a little bit of them with me. So as it is, connections inspire movement.

Well, my first task was given to me and that is exactly what i will do.  Listen to music and find something that moves me.

Who am i?!

A very evolved man, and a very spiritually connected to the universe type of man, sent me a message - that when i was born my "life tape" didn't get erased...

My name is Angel and i am a 30 year old man, a son, a brother, a husband, a father, a dancer, an instructor, a choreographer, a frustrated musician, a music editor and a graphic artist.

...That man also told me that i had talents and didnt understand where they came from - so true -  i never learned how to play drums, i just picked up a set of drums sticks and started playing. He said they were past lives that were manifesting themselves in this one.  He was very clear that because my "tape" didn't get erased, the real me, who i'm suppose to be in this lifetime is getting drowned out by my past lives and that i need to to connect with my inner self to let my true self come out.

That message came to me right before i turned thirty this past February, like a wake up call, as in i better do something before its too late. What do you do with that information? How do i connect with my inner self?  How does one with many talents suppose to choose only one, create a passion and turn it into a career?  or  am i suppose to bundle everything together into one?  Its not easy trying to figure out who you really are.  All this time i've been having to do bits and pieces of my talents throughout the day, the week, the month just so that i can feel accomplished and be able to make ends meet.

So who am i?!  That is the task at hand and a road i've committed myself to take.  Lets see where i end up.
