A rebel with a cause...and effect!

Greetings, and well being all, a new week is upon me here in beautiful Southern California, hope some of you readers experienced the perigee moon yesterday, not only was it a new moon, but an amazing celestial event as well, whenever a new full moon presents itself I try to set new intentions, it gives them power, even though they may be small intentions, it's fun nonetheless. I've grown up a rebellous child by nature, this was probably around my early teens, I guess most of us, at this stage do so, around 14, 15, years old, of course nowadays rebellion is a little different than in my time, I'm a baby boomer, we live in a completely different world today, and things lean more towards technology, social networks, and reality television. Even though my rebellous teens have long passed I've still held on to my rebellous nature, being an Aquarian could possibly have something to do with this, but there are things that define us, and rebellion is one of them for me. As I've practiced deliberate creation these past three years, I've cleared and let go of alot of the old conditioning that no longer served me, but for some reason my rebellous nature would'nt leave my new and improved habitual thinking ''house'', like a drunk uncle overstaying his welcome. Since pondering this a little, I've decided to keep my rebellous nature, it seems it'll come in real handy on my journey, how so?, while the rebel in me ''has'' gotten me into trouble many times in my past, there were some hard lessons to learn, and believe me, I learned them, but now I can harness this rebellous nature for my greater good, and keeping my rebel alive in me is still fun, and I'm using it to full effect. While being a middle aged teenager, I've found new things to rebel against, and no, I am no punk rocker by any means, I've just re-discovered my rebel side in a whole new non-resistant way, and I now use it to move forward, marching towards excellence!  I am now rebelling against things that no longer serve me, for example, I never liked  watching the news or hearing politiician's empty promises, still don't, I never liked being told what to do, still don't, I never liked being told I can never have this or that, still don't, and I never liked being told what I'll never be, still don't! And even

when someone meant well, they too were told the same things while they grew up, beliefs are handed down from generation to generation, until the cycle gets broken, and we can thank the new awareness for that. We all , I think, have that inner rebel in us to some degree, I don't think it really goes away, we may feel we outgrow it but sometimes It'll come from nowhere and surprise us, maybe when someone or something touches a nerve or says something that goes against what we believe. I'm learning that some of my old ways can still hang out in my new ''house'', it might be surprising that these very ''old ways'' are there to serve us in the bigger scheme of things in ways we otherwise would not see. After we've cleared the clutter in our thinking, some of our old habits may stick around for a good reason, although we may not know why, it's nice to know we can keep some of the cool stuff within  us, now, this new rebel believes in his cause, to not let anyone or any thing stand in the way of his dreams, to defend them unwaveringly, and teach others to tap into their ''inner rebel'' and do the same, for that greater good!  It's true, some older habits never die.           Until next post friends!
