HOW TO OVERCOME FEAR, STRESS AND WORRY ~ CELEBRITY IN AMERICA ~ THE LUST FOR FAME

Every morning when you wake up, immediately think of something to be grateful for. My friend lost her eyesight and has no vision, so she created an inner vision: a second vision radio show to find the lost dream inside her. 
List 5 things to be grateful for. Add a new one each day and really feel how lucky you are. 
You can see what the power of focused energy can do in an emergency: if someone is stressed, send her love and light in a quiet, caring way. It comes from your own thought about the person. You have to see them as whole, relaxed, healthy and resilient. Within minutes the person begins to relax, her face brightens up, she is becoming lighter. This is what some call ‘energy materializing.’

Enthusiasm and courage actually change your brain waves, which means you can be attractive even if you’re not good looking because if you radiate love you attract people! (That’s a joke I wrote.) Scientists have discovered that brain activity produces waves that are measurable according to your level of serenity or agitation. And Einstein said, “No problem can be solved on the same level it was created on.” In other words, you can't fight fire with fire; you can't cure alcoholism with more alcohol; you can’t start a war to create peace — you have to go to a higher level — a spiritual or diplomatic solution. Or as George Carlin put it, “Fighting for peace is like screwing for virginity.”

After my TV series ended, I dropped out of acting to avoid the terror of auditioning. But every now and then a juicy role like Howard Stern’s “The Phantom Dildo” would come along. I was furious with my agent for submitting me for such a sleazy MTV pilot, but then I thought, “I better hurry and get ready.” When I didn’t get the part, I was crushed. Nothing is worse than not getting a part you don’t want, that's beneath you."

There was an agent at APA who wouldn’t represent me unless I was dating someone famous. “Are you dating anyone cool who can make you hot?” he asked.

“Just Nicolas Cage,” I replied. 

“Okay, that will work,” he said. “But if he dumps you, we dump you.”

METAPHYSICS: THE LAW OF LIFE

Anonymous left a comment saying that all was well with my marriage, and at home. Anonymous: I thank you for reminding me of the Law of Life. That good is the only reality. You must be a metaphysician (which is the way of Christ) -- seeing reality as the opposite of the limited, negative mortal view.

You are correct and this is how I should be seeing my formerly "gloomy" situation — for I am a student of metaphysics. There are no problems, only challenges that show me what needs to be healed. I am seeing the opposite of love in our arguments, and these are all fear-based concerns. Fear of death, loss, abandonment... fear of being out of control, of not having enough, of losing what we have, of not getting what we want. All this fear makes us live in the future or the past, but never in the present reality — where everything is fine. Now, this actual very moment is all there really is. There is no guarantee we'll be here tomorrow.  The Haitian earthquake, and that car accident proved to me that life can be over in an instant.  My precious brother's death showed me how fragile and temporal life is.  And all that remains are the good memories. Only love and goodness are real.

There is lovely teacher/angel sleeping on our couch and my teenagers do use the "F" word. But they are using it less and less, the higher I hold them up.
