I grew up near Princeton New Jersey where the famed Albert Einstein resided, researched and taught. As a child my favorite playmate was destined to study at the town's renowned university.
He came from a long line of graduates. In those early years I became fascinated with the institution listening to his father tell stories about it. Everyday my friend told me he would go to college there.
This led me to think about the great scientist Albert Einstein. I pondered his theories and wished I could have been his student.
I imagined what it would be like to sit in his study, listen to him play violin and discuss the early ideas of Quantum Physics.
Years later, my family moved north of the suburbs of Philadelphia, even closer to that area of New Jersey.
When I was old enough to drive, I set out on a journey to Princeton. I wanted to stand under Einstein's window, sit on a bench outside his study and walk the paths where his feet had strolled.
I imagined I could speak with him and absorb his wisdom. I put my ear and hands upon the stone wall of his building and listened to the ancient echo of his laughter and felt the vibrations of his wisdom. I debated with him about God and the Universe, thinking I could convince him that the colorful spirit world is right here, right now...
...and that if we just look at this from a different angle or in a another direction as taught by the lesson of the Hanged Man Tarot card...
...rather than causing pain or grief, we can reach enlightenment.
So, I invite you joyful Jedi, to wipe away the smoggy clouds of your mind...
...and practice meditation.
This truly is the key to unlock the passageway to
your dharma path.
This is where you can experience the entire Universe for it is already you. Thinking otherwise is insane!
Albert once said this regarding the definition of insanity:
It is important to look at the methods we use to navigate life. Are we grinding down the same path over and over expecting to find ourselves at a completely different destination?
The way to easily find ourselves in the right place at the right time is by letting go of control.
Perhaps this takes us in a completely different direction! Just as the Tarot card and the wise ones taught.
I have an opportunity for you to learn specific methods and invite you to simply stop and have a few minutes of time out. Give the mind a rest.
For those of you in the Tampa Bay area of Florida, join me next weekend on February 7, 2016 for a tangible experience of doing just this.

I'll leave you with one more pearl of wisdom from the great Albert Einstein,
“A
person experiences life as something separated from the rest – a kind
of optical delusion of consciousness. Our task must be to free ourselves
from this self-imposed prison, and through compassion, to find the
reality of Oneness.”
