forget paris -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Good Morning. Three O Clock in the morning in los angeles. Twelve O Clock in the afternoon in paris... I think I’m somewhere right in-between. We go home in two days, and I thought it might be nice to try to sleep for a couple more hours today so that I have an easier time adjusting back to LA time. Living for the future is kind of hard to avoid. And I am awake anyway, so I might as well open the blinds and embrace the day. Hmmm... it’s a gloomy sky... and I was expecting sunshine. I even whistled that Grieg piece, Peter Gynt Suite... you know it.... you’ve heard it in movies when something beautiful happens early in the morning... But I was greeted by a rain streaked window and grey skies... I pulled the curtains shut quickly, and decided to imagine it being sunny and blue skied outside... then I sang the grieg thing even louder and really whipped open the curtains... and for a split second I thought that I had changed my perception of reality so completely that it was a blazingly sunny day... that’s how it hit my eyes for just a second... and then I snapped back into believing it was gloomy... Sigh... I guess I’m still learning about how to create my own destiny. Nevertheless... I do believe that that’s what we have to do everyday... carve out our own realities, and find the light perfection in every moment. Because every moment is perfect, and it either allows us to play around and enjoy it, or it teaches us something... or hopefully a little bit of both. Paris is a beautiful city... it think today we’ll go deep underground to the catacombs and look at hundreds of years of dead peoples’ bones stacked in gigantic caves. Or maybe we’ll go to the Louvre museum and steal the mona lisa... I like the idea that art gets housed in a building and contained there... So silly... art is everywhere... I like to visit a little museum every once in a while called the Universe... it’s free... and there are some serious masterpieces there... security is pretty tight, but you can learn how to bend the rules, and you can even step across the velvet rope and put your hands on the canvas... you can even dive into the canvas actually. That’s what I’m going to go do right now... it’s called Taking a Bath. My name is Jesse... People call me Jesse... I am called Jesse... I am Jesse... Jesse am I. Jesse Jesse Jesse. J. E. S. S. E. I just had a very strange moment looking at that word... it suddenly didn’t make any sense to me... Who am I really? I know what my name IS... and I know that people call me that and I respond... sometimes... but hmmm... I have this body... and this spirit... no... I AM this body and this spirit. I can have a thought and then my hands can make that thought happen and my eyes can verify that the thought is being carried out and my brain can double check the work the eyes are doing... even though the eyes aren’t really necessary... all you have to do is focus what you can see for a second... then close your eyes and notice that it’s all still right there in front of you... it hasn’t changed a bit.. it’s like you pulled a clear gauze over your vision when you close your eyelids... your brain is still perceiving everything... Go ahead... close your eyes and move your hand in front of your face... can’t you SEE it? By the way, are you still reading this with your eyes closed? YES... you’ve GOT IT!!! OK... keep going. Enjoy. Practice a little longer before you go driving like this. Love JESSE. P.S. if there’s a new way to explore what we can “see” with our eyes closed, there’s gotta be a new way to explore what we see with our eyes open. Let the spirit world in.
