I just got home from work for the second night in a row after 10:00 PM. I was so fired up about two hours ago, I couldn't wait to write this down.
I wanted to tell my customer on the 370-z that her "idea" of being a Christian was "Bass Ackwards, instead I bit my tongue and sent her loving energy. I still think she is full of shit , but she got some of my positive loving energy anyway. Maybe she will wake up someday. I guess it's really not my place to worry about that.
So here's how it went down.
Yesterday afternoon, my very best female friend, confidant, former colleague when I was a parole officer, angel, Monika called me to let me know her mom needed a car. We chatted a bit about her wants and needs, and I told her we would regroup in the morning.
This morning she called me and we got it all ironed out. I spent a few hours finding the right car, getting to the right price, and agreeing to figures over the phone. Monika, and Paul (her husband) have purchased four vehicles from me since I started in this business, this one for her mom makes number five. I try and make sure their car buying experiences are as painless as possible. If thats possible
So at about 6:45 PM Monika and Paul, their two kids, and Linda (Monika's Mom) showed up at my work. My "plan" was to get Linda in and out of my business office before my 370-Z customers showed up. I have heard the saying that "God laughs at us when we make plans." This case was no different.
It was the first time I have met Monika's Mom, and when I saw her we locked eyes. She took my hand and said, "I prayed for you alot." I almost started to cry. She was sincere, her voice was that of a caring, humble, kind, person. We sat down at my desk and she told me she prayed for me because she knew my daughter and son needed a father.
Not more than ten minutes of their arrival my 370-Z customers pulled up. They got out of their loaded H-2 Hummer. They went over to the Z and were looking it over. I gave them a few minutes to look the car over and got up to head outside.
I told Monika and her mom I was going to have to juggle two things at once and asked them for their patience, which they willingly gave me.
I walked outside and greeted them with a warm smile. She didn't even really acknowledge me. She immediately went into a tirade about the kick plate on the driver door having a scuff on it. She said it wasn't a "new car." She asked how come it had 260 miles on it, and I again explained we had to send a driver to Bellingham to get it. She quickly took out her I-Phone and calculated it was only 160 miles to Bellinghan and where did the other 90 miles come from. I thought back to her comment in my sales office two nights ago about how "Christian" she was, and her voicemail ends with "God Bless You." and I wanted to say something to her about her being completely confused about what it is to be Christ-Like. In my book its about humility, and grace, and warmth, and kindness, and selflessness....things like that.
In the seven years of doing this business, this woman was the most boastful, arrogant, seflish, pompous, un-christlike person I have ever met...bar none....hands down....and I am here to tell you I deal with some "PEACHES."
The night before, before signing papers (that they were late for) I had to calm her down because she had to wait 15 minutes.
I will tell you this however. The key tag from the Nissan store in Bellingham had this car as stock #1919, and his birthday was 11-19...so i'm sure the interaction was purposeful. I think I have already figured out the "why."
So as all this is going on, and now they are ranting because I can't find the big "window sticker" because they think we are trying to pull a fast one on them...because that's what all car dealerships do right...? (found it balled up in the trash can in my detail department)
I go into my sales managers office and my finance manager and my ex-roomate ask me if I told Monika to have her mom buy a warranty for the car. I always have Monika and Paul purchase extended protection because I think its a good idea on a used car.
But in this case, I told her the car had unlimited powertrain warranty, and it was her choice. Keith and my finance manager looked at each other and them looked at me and said no it doesn't. It wasn't that benign...it was more like, you are fu$@ing crazy.
I purposely called my Chrysler service writer this afternoon to find out what the exact warranty on it was, and his exact words..."Bumper to bumper good for 36k miles or till 3-11-11, and unlimited powertrain." I even asked him twice because it sounded too good to be true.
By this time I have an arrogant customer I don't even really want to deal with, and a dear friend who I care deeply for that was told something that I thought was truth about a car thats not, and my blood pressure is beginning to rise. My Chrysler service writer threw me in the "trick bag" and now i'm going to piss off one of my friends and her mom, lose that customer, and my "Z" lady isn't going to buy the car because it has a scuff mark on a piece of plastic....ArrrgGGGGG.
So I just let it all go.
I walked outside and told the arrogant "Z" lady that if she didn't want to buy the car, we wouldn't hold her feet to the fire if she wanted to back out of the contract, because they are a premium car, and we could probably find someone off the street who would be willing to pay a profit. The net profit to my dealership was 400.00 on a $42,000.00 sports car, and in the end they really thought they didn't get enough discount. She was unkind and demanding through the entire process. In the car business we call them "mootches." The ones that have money, yet don't think they should pay a profit to a car dealership, even though they pay markup and profit everywhere else they spend money. I don't think they probably argue over the dinner bill, but probably are shitty tippers, because the meal was too much...or the service was bad. I doubt they argue their costco bill, or their food bill, or their furniture bill, etc...etc..etc. I mean don't get me wrong, ask for a little discount, thats good business. I do it wherever I can But be willing to pay a fair profit. I do.
I walked back inside and told Monika what had happened with the warranty after I had calmed myself. I told her we would discount the car more if we had too, but instead they sold her a "wrap" warranty at cost, which in the end was a better deal. While Monika and her mom were in the finance office, my British ex-roommate Keith explained to me that the Chrysler "unlimited" powertrain warranty wasn't worth the paper it was printed on. In effect it covers only "defect's", not normal wear and tear. I guess it's always good to read the fine print. A wrap warranty is a bumber to bumper warranty to 100,000 miles. If anything happens, she is covered, and she will have a car to drive while we are fixing it.
So heres where the contrast comes in if you haven't already figured it out.
My Z lady. She and her husband make about $500.000.00 a year. He drives a loaded up H2 and now she drives a 370-Z. They probably look out their windows to see if passing cars are looking at them with "envy." As she was explaining why she was picking apart the car we got for her, she made it clear she had just had a "fiasco" with a $300,000 motor home they had purchased, because there was some damage to it when they delivered it. She wanted to make sure she told me the price. She was over demanding, yet unwilling to pay any profit on the car. She was not friendly, nor kind, nor humble, nor anything else I would equate with someone who's Christ-Like. I did my best to give her warmth. I wanted to hand them the keys, and very poetically and politically correctly let her know she was clueless what it is to be Christlike. What struck me the most during the 72 hours or so that I was graced with her presence, was the amount of time she spent on telling me how "Christian" she was. I'm shaking my head still trying to figure out how come she doesn't get it.
Monika's Mom. Prayed for me while I was sick, and I told her thank you because it worked and I meant it. Looked me in the eyes and I could feel her warmth and kindness. She has been working for The State of Washington for the past 20 years taking care of seriously developmentally delayed folks...at the same place, and comparatively speaking makes "nothing" financially compared to my "Z" lady and her husband. The car was on the lot for 12,999.00 on , 11,999 on the internet, and I got it discounted to 10,699 for her, because she needed to be at a specific payment, she was Monikas mom, and because Tony and Marshall were reminded we sold them them two other cars. She didn't try to haggle any more price, she didn't get upset when I screwed up, and she gave me a hug before she left. The dealership made a little profit, I can put a few meals on my table, maybe share with someone else, and she was happy yet a little sad. The car she had been driving before she decided to get a new one was a 1988 Ford Festiva. I told her she definitely deserved a new car. She has some sentimental value attached to the car. I told her to keep it around for a second car, but Monika said they are out of room in the driveway.
She never once told me how "christian" she was...but I could tell just by hanging out with her she got it. I'm pretty sure I will be seeing her more.
If I see my "Z" lady come back i'm going to head the other way.....LOL
I had numerical phenomena going on simultaneously. When I went to put gas in Linda's car it was 1:11. One of my phone calls with Monika was 1:11 long. I hopped in Linda's car when I got back from lunch to make sure it was cleaned up it was 4:44 on my cell phone. That's a short list.
Crazy couple of days. I'm smiling right now wondering what tomorrow holds. When it's like this its very dreamlike.
Present Moment Awareness. I highly recommend it. Magical moments await.
Peace and thanks for reading!

Synchronicity, Contrast, and 1111 Phenomena
The past five days have been unique to say the least. The first 12 days of July have been difficult for me financially speaking.
This past Saturday and Sunday my customers birthdays were 9-10, followed by 9-11 about a half hour later. 3-31, 2-21, and 6-11 and 7-17. All of these customers were very dificult to deal with and not one bought a car.
On Saturday night, Sunday morning I was awoken at 1:11. Sunday morning I was awoken by thunder and lightning at 8:08. I love the 808 time prompts because that is the area code for the Hawaian Islands. In fact, looking vack through my notes, I left work last Friday evening and on the one block ride from my dealership to the entrance to the auto-mall I saw two vehicles. One had a plate that began with 811-#$% and the other was 611-#$%. When I looked at my digital clock it read 8:08. This all happened in a 15 second time frame.
Last night I got home from work physically and emotionally exhausted. I hadn't made any money yet this month, and I was feeling fear. I got in the shower and started crying. I asked God what he wanted from me.
Sometimes I feel like I want to go back in time to before 7-1-07 before any of this "craziness" started happening to me. Sometimes its very overwhelming.
This morning I woke up and decided to work a day off to try and make some money to support my family. I knew I had an appointment coming in to buy a new 370-z sometime later in the evening.
At about 6:30 a young couple in an older Nissan Altima pulled on the lot. After speaking to them for about 5 minutes I knew I was meant to meet them. I knew that divine timing and purpose paired us.
I wasn't with them for more than about a half hour when my appointment showed up.
Here is where the contrast came in.
The younger couple made about $4,500 a month. They were very happy, upbeat, and fun to deal with. They had never financed a nice car. They drove a 1995 Nissan Altima to trade, and were overjoyed to be able to finance a nice car that fit in their budget. They didn't question the price. As long as it fit within the payment they had budgeted, they were happy. When he was taking the Nissan Murano out for the test drive I looked at the digital clock in the Murano and it was 7:17. When I walked them into the finance office to sign paperwork, I looked at the time on my finance managers desk clock, it was 9:19. They were happy to pay a profit. They were just happy to be treated with respect, and to be able to buy a car. They had a 15 month old son who was getting cranky waiting, and they were apologizing because he was crying in the dealership
The second customers were in their mid-fifties. His birthday was 9-11. She kept talking about how much of a "Christian" she was. However, in the end, they paid about 800.00 over our cost on a $37,000 car. They made about $450,000 a year as business owners. To be honest she wasn't very kind. She was demanding, and wanted to let everyone know just how important she was. She had to wait for about an hour before going into our finance office, because it got really busy this evening, and four deals got "closed" within about 15 minutes of each other. She let me, my sales manager, and my finance manager know how she was being inconvenienced by having to wait. She was supposed to have shown up at 5:00 PM, and she would have been in and out. She was late, and didn't call to let us know she was going to be late. We are sending a driver to pick up her new car at a dealership about 250 miles north, and she was concerned her car was going to have 260 miles on it. Her complaints went on and on. I thought t myself, "Christian."? Humility? Selfless Service? Loving? Giving? Caring? Understanding?....Hmmm?
At any rate...a synchronistic few days nonetheless...Some good...some bad....all very purposeful i'm sure .
Thanks for reading. Thanks for letting me share.

1:11
Last night I finished writing about my experiences in Seattle, re-living some not so pleasant past, renewing my purpose of speaking my truth about what is happening to us globally right now, and how I think we can go about fixing it, and making some new memories with a 4 1/2 year old who's face lit up in delight many times throughout the evening prior.
I sat down on the couch and tried to make sense of it all for a while. It was a crystal clear starry evening in Olympia last night, so after a few minutes of "pondering" I took a few sleeping bags outside, and made a bed under the stars. I grabbed Lexi (my two year old long hair Dachshound), tried to pry Tehya from Shanna's arms for extra body heat and failed, and instead, headed outside with just a dog to keep me warm.
It was a full moon last night. There is something more magical to me about a full moon since my awakening. Early on in my awakening I remember meditating on a full moon one night. My ears started ringing, and my head started tingling. I felt my vibrational level raise. It was the oddest feeling. So every time there is a full moon, I like to meditate and see what happens.
I remember laying there with Lexi. She was doing her best at keeping me warm and I was almost asleep. I was startled and raised my upper torso out of bed when I heard a little girls scream, very loud! At one point she screamed "I don't want to" It went on for about 10 seconds, then a car door slammed, and I didn't hear her again. Moments later I heard what sounded like a truck drive off. I was sleeping in the backyard on the deck, and my street is off the front yard, but it was all very real and very vivid. At first I thought I was just dreaming, but all of my five senses knew it wasn't a dream.
My mind raced. Had Tehya gottten up and came outside to get in bed with me. Had she wandered out front and gotten snatched. The fear was only there for a second, then I remembered about a little 10 year old girl that had gone missing in a the tiny logging/lumber town of McLeary about a week ago, and just because I live in the "country" a little bit...doesn't mean there aren't crazies out here. I quickly put it out of my mind, got up to reassure myself and walked in the back door. I looked at the clock on the microwave and it read 1:11. I smiled, feeling reassured already.
I walked down the hallway and turned on the light. I opened up the door to my bedroom, and on the bed my daughter lay sprawled out on her back, with one of her feet in the middle of Shanna's back.
I decided to come inside because I was still a bit startled. I pushed Tehya over and hopped in. I wrapped my arms around her and fell asleep. My sleep was disrupted again. Once at 3:13, and again at 4:44.
Today was another very synchronistic day. All day long I kept telling myself, "In the midst of chaos, have faith and trust in the process," and in many cases both professionally and personally, thats exactly what happened today.
Sometimes I get caught up in everything changing for the betterment/enlightenment of humanity NEEDING to happen today, instead of setting my intention, and allowing the universe to respond.
I find the more I just get out of the way and allow, the more my visions start unfolding before my very eyes. I know it may sound wierd, or "'woo-wooish" or perhaps to good to be true. Believe me it's not, and I get tangible proof each day.
So what was the girl screaming at 1:11 about? I'm still not sure
I have an intense feeling that somthing interesting is about to happen in my life, but then again, I have been getting those constant feelings for the past few years. I guess I will sit back, relax, and watch the universe respond.
If there are any authors, publishers, visionaries, etc,..out there who have any ideas about how to collaborate in moving this planet in the direction of peace and harmony, I would love to hear from you.
Once again thanks for reading, thanks for commenting, and thanks for being the change.

Synchronicity in Seattle
Yesterday I took my partner Shanna and my daughter Tehya to Seattle, to go see a Mariners Game, and spend the night in the Emerald City.
From the moment we got in the car, Shanna immediately began pointing out numerical synchronicity. It's reassuring to have someone close to me experiencing the same things I am experiencing. Although the "meaning" may differ between her and I, she is experiencing it nonetheless.
We decided to go through "Priceline" and allow that service to basically pick where we would spend the night. The last time we went through this service was in Washington D.C. after my brothers wedding at West Point. There was so much synchronicity that happened during that day and night in D.C., along with unexplainable "paranormal phenomena" in the hotel, I knew I would be blessed with something unique on this trip too.
Shanna gave me the address to the Hotel, I programmed it in the Navigation system, and off we went. She thought it was somewhere near The Pike Place Market.
When we pulled up to the hotel parking garage I knew I had been there before. The first time my brother Ford flew Kate (his wife) into Seattle, before they got married, I picked them up at this hotel. I recognized it immediately. This might not be that big of a deal to the reader, but there are TONS of motel/hotel's in the Seattle area. Priceline could have picked any one of them for us.
I told Shanna the story of meeting Kate for the first time in the lobby of this place. I also told Shanna that our room number would be "synchronistic." Sure enough, our room was 917. That particular number pattern pops up everywhere in my life. After seeing our room number I knew it would be an interesting evening.
While Shanna and Tehya were getting ready, I went across the street to the United States Courthouse to look at the fountain I had noticed out of my 9th story hotel room window. I sat down by the fountain waiting to see what was next? I turned to the right and my jaw dropped open as I saw the opening lines to the Declaration of Independance engraved in a granite wall. I started to read. As I was reading it was clear to me why this hotel was chosen for me. In the opening lines I felt myself getting angry, yet at the same time a motivation swept over me to "be the change" that I haven't felt since this journey began for me two years ago. Here is what I read..."That whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute a new government..."
After reading these words, I knew EXACTLY why this place had been chosen for me. I was so excited, I saw Shanna and Tehya coming across the street to greet me, I grabbed Shanna by the arm and guided her to the etched stone wall. We both read the words in silence. Shanna didn't say a word, she knew exactly what I was thinking.
We were trying to figure out how we were going to get from the hotel to Safeco Field for the game. My 4 1/2 year old daughter has an affinity for public transportation, and blurted out "Lets Take The Bus Daddy!!!"
So off we went. We hopped on a Seatttle Metro City Bus and headed south to Safeco Field. Just as soon as I sat down I realized that the ONLY other time I had been on a Seattle City Bus was almost four years ago when I was at the most miserable place/space in my life, right before I walked up the hill to Harborview Medical Center, eventually leading to getting into my final drug and alcohol treatment, and eventually my awakening.
The spot I sat down on the bus was the exact same spot I had been sitting some four years ago, and the route we were on was the same route I had taken some four years ago. When the bus passed the stop I got off at that night on July 19th 2005 at about 1:00 AM in the morning, a chill went up my spine.
Here I was, almost four years later, excited to be going to watch Griffey and Ichiro play baseball, with my beautiful family by my side.
I shared the synchronicity with Shanna, and we agreed this bus trip was much more enjoyable, and under much more peaceful circumstances
The game was awesome. The Pitcher, pitched a "one hitter," the first in Safeco Field's history i'm told.
About midway through the game I stepped outside to smoke a cigar purely on intuition. Two young ladies were sitting on the sidewalk. One was singing, while the other played guitar. The song was by a band called Blind Melon. Their lead singer, Shannon Hune, died of a heroin overdose several years ago...which again brought me back to my brush with death as a result of my own addiction.
I noticed on the ground in front of the girls were braided hemp necklaces, bracelets, beadwork, and several patches with a peculiar symbol I had never seen before. On the bottom of the "patch" was a "peace-sign" and on top a "mushroom cloud." I threw a dollar bill in her guitar case after listening to her sing, and asked what the symbol meant. She said it meant, "Peace or Annihilation," and the fact we are at a crossroads right now where we either attain global peace and harmony, or we destroy ourselves.
I knew I was meant to be speaking with this woman of no more than 25 years old. After speaking to her for about five minutes about the injustice we are witnessing globally, I asked her what the answer was, and the first word out of her mouth that resonated with me completely was "Revolution."
After the game we took a bus back to the hotel and we all fell asleep very quickly. It had been a long exciting day for all of us.
I had a dream last night about Eggs Benedict!!! I was eating breakfast at a restaurant, and ordered Eggs Benedict, one of my all time favorite breakfast meals!!
This morning we woke up and decided to go get breakfast. We found a Bistro near Pike Place Market that Shanna and I had never been to before. Printed on a very small readerboard in the front of the Bistro were the words "Eggs All Day." Once again, I knew we were in the right place. I ordered my Eggs Benedict, and it was yummy. After we were finished, Shanna decided she wanted to go wander around the market. My stomach was on "tilt," so Tehya and I decided to go relax in bed and watch some T.V. at the hotel.
As we were walking back to the hotel, I was drawn to a set of "portable" newspaper stands. You know, the type you put a few quarters in and grab a newspaper. There were several "stands" next to each other. I was drawn to a monthly free Seattle publication called, "The Stranger." I reached in the machine and grabbed one, folded it in half, and tucked it under my arm.
We arrived back at the room and Tehya and I layed down on the bed. I turned the TV on to The Disney Channel. "Hannah Montana" was on, and Tehya was in "seventh heaven." I reached over to the night stand where I had placed the copy of The Stranger, and grabbed it. Lying back on a few pillows, I opened the paper to the center section and this is what I read as an advertisement for Levi's Jeans. "In Congress July 4th 2009. WANTED: Independent Minds For a Small Writing Project With Long Term Publishing Possibilities. Must Have Talent For Revolutionary Thinking. Rabble-Rousing Experience a Plus." On the opposite page, was a copy of The Declaration of Independance, in it's original format, complete with signatures. My jaw dropped open in disbelief.
The synchronicity I experienced these past 24 hours couldn't be more clear to me. I am very concerned with what is currently going on in these United States and globally right now. Since my awakening began just over two years ago now, I have felt it is my responsibility to bring what is and has been happening under our noses and behind our backs into the light. The path humanity is being led down right now goes completely against what our fore-fathers spoke of when they drafted The Declaration of Independence and The Constitution of the United States, and I believe it is all of our responsibility to call BS on it and demand change now!!
Each day that passes us by, our Civil Liberty and Freedom becomes more eroded, in the name of SECURITY. Quite frankly what is happening right now frightens me. What frightens me most is that the majority of the population in the United States doesn't know it's happening, and how it could potentially affect them, their families, and generations to come. Our's is a closing society folks....The Writing is On The Wall!!!!
What can you do? Simple! Talk about it. Research it. Make changes at home. In order to achieve peace globally, you must first "be" peace at home. Don't take the MEDIA's word for anything. READ BOOKS!!! Kill Your Television!!! Learn Self-Sustainability!!! Love your enemies!! Get to know someone from Iran, Iraq, North Korea, Afghanistan, Russia, Pakistan, etc...What you will find in getting to know these people is they want the exact same things we want for our families. Its pretty simple. They want Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness, JUST LIKE US!!!! Read about Ghandi, Dr. Martin Luther King, Einstein, etc. Read some Eckhart Tolle, Don Miguel Ruiz, Neale Donald Walsch, Dan Millman, Wayne Dyer, Jerry and Esther Hicks, Og Mandino,. etc.etc. Read a book called "Above All Be Kind." Watch the movie, "The Secret." Listen to "conspiracy theorists." Check out what Alex Jones and David Icke have to say. Do some research on Freemasonry and The Illuminati. Instead of judging others by the color of their skin, or the religion they practice, learn of their culture, and look for the beauty and truth in their beliefs. Educate yourself on what is happening and what has happened to your freedom, in the false name of "security" since September 11th. 2001. Question the motives of your government. Do so in the name of peace and the highest good for all, not just a select few. Wake up to your divinity. You are nothing more than "pure potential," or "energy." Focus your intention on what you wish to do, be and have, again keeping peace and the highest good at the forefront of your mind.
Don't take my word for any of this. I started my awakening/enlightenment when I decided to think for myself. When I started researching and allowing my intuition to guide me, I was amazed at just how "un-awake" I was for the first 40 years of my life, and just how much there was to learn.
Once again, thank you for taking the time for reading this and for allowing me to share. I hope these words inspire you to take action in some form.

From the moment we got in the car, Shanna immediately began pointing out numerical synchronicity. It's reassuring to have someone close to me experiencing the same things I am experiencing. Although the "meaning" may differ between her and I, she is experiencing it nonetheless.
We decided to go through "Priceline" and allow that service to basically pick where we would spend the night. The last time we went through this service was in Washington D.C. after my brothers wedding at West Point. There was so much synchronicity that happened during that day and night in D.C., along with unexplainable "paranormal phenomena" in the hotel, I knew I would be blessed with something unique on this trip too.
Shanna gave me the address to the Hotel, I programmed it in the Navigation system, and off we went. She thought it was somewhere near The Pike Place Market.
When we pulled up to the hotel parking garage I knew I had been there before. The first time my brother Ford flew Kate (his wife) into Seattle, before they got married, I picked them up at this hotel. I recognized it immediately. This might not be that big of a deal to the reader, but there are TONS of motel/hotel's in the Seattle area. Priceline could have picked any one of them for us.
I told Shanna the story of meeting Kate for the first time in the lobby of this place. I also told Shanna that our room number would be "synchronistic." Sure enough, our room was 917. That particular number pattern pops up everywhere in my life. After seeing our room number I knew it would be an interesting evening.
While Shanna and Tehya were getting ready, I went across the street to the United States Courthouse to look at the fountain I had noticed out of my 9th story hotel room window. I sat down by the fountain waiting to see what was next? I turned to the right and my jaw dropped open as I saw the opening lines to the Declaration of Independance engraved in a granite wall. I started to read. As I was reading it was clear to me why this hotel was chosen for me. In the opening lines I felt myself getting angry, yet at the same time a motivation swept over me to "be the change" that I haven't felt since this journey began for me two years ago. Here is what I read..."That whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute a new government..."
After reading these words, I knew EXACTLY why this place had been chosen for me. I was so excited, I saw Shanna and Tehya coming across the street to greet me, I grabbed Shanna by the arm and guided her to the etched stone wall. We both read the words in silence. Shanna didn't say a word, she knew exactly what I was thinking.
We were trying to figure out how we were going to get from the hotel to Safeco Field for the game. My 4 1/2 year old daughter has an affinity for public transportation, and blurted out "Lets Take The Bus Daddy!!!"
So off we went. We hopped on a Seatttle Metro City Bus and headed south to Safeco Field. Just as soon as I sat down I realized that the ONLY other time I had been on a Seattle City Bus was almost four years ago when I was at the most miserable place/space in my life, right before I walked up the hill to Harborview Medical Center, eventually leading to getting into my final drug and alcohol treatment, and eventually my awakening.
The spot I sat down on the bus was the exact same spot I had been sitting some four years ago, and the route we were on was the same route I had taken some four years ago. When the bus passed the stop I got off at that night on July 19th 2005 at about 1:00 AM in the morning, a chill went up my spine.
Here I was, almost four years later, excited to be going to watch Griffey and Ichiro play baseball, with my beautiful family by my side.
I shared the synchronicity with Shanna, and we agreed this bus trip was much more enjoyable, and under much more peaceful circumstances
The game was awesome. The Pitcher, pitched a "one hitter," the first in Safeco Field's history i'm told.
About midway through the game I stepped outside to smoke a cigar purely on intuition. Two young ladies were sitting on the sidewalk. One was singing, while the other played guitar. The song was by a band called Blind Melon. Their lead singer, Shannon Hune, died of a heroin overdose several years ago...which again brought me back to my brush with death as a result of my own addiction.
I noticed on the ground in front of the girls were braided hemp necklaces, bracelets, beadwork, and several patches with a peculiar symbol I had never seen before. On the bottom of the "patch" was a "peace-sign" and on top a "mushroom cloud." I threw a dollar bill in her guitar case after listening to her sing, and asked what the symbol meant. She said it meant, "Peace or Annihilation," and the fact we are at a crossroads right now where we either attain global peace and harmony, or we destroy ourselves.
I knew I was meant to be speaking with this woman of no more than 25 years old. After speaking to her for about five minutes about the injustice we are witnessing globally, I asked her what the answer was, and the first word out of her mouth that resonated with me completely was "Revolution."
After the game we took a bus back to the hotel and we all fell asleep very quickly. It had been a long exciting day for all of us.
I had a dream last night about Eggs Benedict!!! I was eating breakfast at a restaurant, and ordered Eggs Benedict, one of my all time favorite breakfast meals!!
This morning we woke up and decided to go get breakfast. We found a Bistro near Pike Place Market that Shanna and I had never been to before. Printed on a very small readerboard in the front of the Bistro were the words "Eggs All Day." Once again, I knew we were in the right place. I ordered my Eggs Benedict, and it was yummy. After we were finished, Shanna decided she wanted to go wander around the market. My stomach was on "tilt," so Tehya and I decided to go relax in bed and watch some T.V. at the hotel.
As we were walking back to the hotel, I was drawn to a set of "portable" newspaper stands. You know, the type you put a few quarters in and grab a newspaper. There were several "stands" next to each other. I was drawn to a monthly free Seattle publication called, "The Stranger." I reached in the machine and grabbed one, folded it in half, and tucked it under my arm.
We arrived back at the room and Tehya and I layed down on the bed. I turned the TV on to The Disney Channel. "Hannah Montana" was on, and Tehya was in "seventh heaven." I reached over to the night stand where I had placed the copy of The Stranger, and grabbed it.

The Hero Next Door.
I woke up this morning wondering if something major was going to happen, synchronistically speaking, that would finally allow me to pursue my goals and dreams full-time. Today is the second anniversary of the beginning of my spiritual enlightenment. I waited with eager anticipation for something magical to occur. Sometimes I set myself up for dissapointment when I envision a call from a publisher, or filmmaker, or I just picked up 113 Million on the Lotto, or something cool like that..that would jumpstart what I believe i am supposed to be doing on this spec of dirt in the cosmos, outside of selling cars.
I went throughout the day and it was pretty much business as usual. I saw lots of numbers, and did my best to deal with difficult people. There are alot of stressed out people right now. I am so greatful to have this awareness. The timing was perfect.
I didn't have alot of energy to deal with people today, so I did alot of follow-up, and made a plan for next month.
In the early evening I walked over to the service department to get some cold water. It was about 90 degrees in Olympia today, and I spend alot of time outside, chasing after people. It sounds kind of funny, but its true. I was tired and dehydrated and needed water.
While I was standing at the water cooler, I turned around 180* and saw an old neighbor from our last house. I hadn't seen her in almost two years. She was forced to move out of her home of over 30 years by the Internal Revenue Service, after her husband died. It seems her husband, a well known dentist in the area and a wonderful man and human being, known for doing a TON of pro-bono work in the Olympia area for people who couldn't afford to see a dentist, and giving his time and skills to the community on a more than regular basis, hadn't paid taxes in several years. When he died she was contacted by the IRS, and in the end they seized her home because he didn't pay his taxes. Nice people. Makes me sick to my stomach. Stories like those make me look forward to a complete crash and restructuring of the "goods and services" system.
Anyway, Tehya spent the first 3 years of her life getting to know "Gramma Helana." Shanna and I got to know her well too. During the time I was struggling with cocaine addiction, I would disappear for a few days at a time. Helana was a huge support many times for Shanna when I was completely out of my mind. Helana never "judged" me when I was going through my insanity. I remember her being very encouraging, and told me not to give up many times.
After I had my awakening, and decided I wanted to be a philanthropist, I wrote a list down of who I would help, given the opportunity. The list has evolved over the past few years, but certain individuals are all still there.
Helana was at the top of one of my very first lists. I am sure I have it stuffed away somewhere. I remember writing that I wanted to be able to give Helana enough money to have fun for the rest of her life. Shanna told me her and her husband never really had an opportunity to do alot of "stuff", because they were "broke" because he did alot of charity work. I really would like to have the resources to send her on the trip of a lifetime to someplace she has always wanted to go, and to make sure she is taken care of.
As I turned to walk toward her to say hi, I instinctivelly opened my cell phone cover to see the time. It read 5:15. I walked over, said hello and sat down next to her. She smiled widely and we started catching up. We dont have alot in common because there is about a 30 year age difference. She asked me how I was doing, and she meant it. Alot of people ask "how are you doing" and really don't even hear your response. She asked about Shanna and Tehya, and I showed her a picture of Tehya. We both agreed that time feels like its speeding up.
The topic of career came up and I told her that Shanna was almost done with grad school, then it was my turn. Then we are going to open a private practice and help change the world to be a kinder place one person at a time.
I told her Shanna was doing her internship at Madigan Army Medical Center at Ft. Lewis in an intensive outpatient PTSD program with soldiers.
What I know, and what we agreed on is this war has hurt so many people. Not just casualty rates, but how it has affected families, relationships, children etc. The "ripple effect" is endless.
About 5 minutes into the conversation, she picked up a book she had been reading and turned it over. The title of the book was " The Hero Next Door." I immedialtely understood the synchronicity. I have always wanted to be her "hero next door" and she was there to show me I am well on the path. What a poignant message from the Universe to "keep on keepin on!"
We spoke for a few minutes more and Tehya called. Tehya and I spoke for a few minutes. I put Tehya and Shanna on the phone with Helana. I went on with some follow up and left her there in the waiting area talking on my cell phone.
I returned a while later and she was off the phone. The ladies had exchanged phone numbers and agreed to get together so she could see Tehya. My daughter is an "Indigo" and is very smart and outgoing. She is charismatic and attracts people. Its neat to watch. For some reason Helana and Tehya are smitten with one another.
I had work to get done so I said goodbye to her. I grabbed my phone back and instinctively looked at the call timer. I smiled once more when I saw the timer was 12:13...WOW.
What more could I ask for on this momentous day. Synchronicity and tangible proof that all is well, albeit difficult circumstances at the present time. The more I surrender to it all and get out of the way, the more peace I have. I know to continue to walking my path, exactly as I am doing it, and things will work out exactly as they were meant too.
Thanks again for reading.

What An Amazing, Magical, Mystical, Enlightened, Aware, Two Years It Has Been
Tomorrow, 7-1-09 marks the two year anniversary of my spiritual enlightenment. One year and eleven months ago I was certain by now I would be a published author, sharing my story on the world stage, teaching Peace, Law of Attraction, Present Moment Awareness, Synchronicity, whats wrong with our current approach, how to fix it, and helping others awaken to their own Divinity and life purpose.
I would be living half the year in a modest house on a few acres of land in the Yelm/Rainier area of Washington. The home would be completely self-sustainable. Well water, septic, wood heat, and solar power coupled with the traditional power sources when the need arises. I would garden and farm to supply food for my family and others in the community. Good, organic vegetables and fruits, and non steriod fed, organic animals. I'm talking about a few cows, a goat or two, and some chickens. The cows and goats would be used primarily for milk and cheese, the chickens for eggs of course. Since I read the book, "above all be kind" a year and 10 months ago, It has become increasingly difficult for me to eat alot of meat. I have considered cutting out most meat products entirely, and in fact have decreased my meat intake by half overall.
If the dream of owning and operating an entirely organic restuarant ever materializes, I would use as much product out of my farm and garden as possible in the operation of the restuarant.
The other half of the year I would be in another modest rental house on the North Shore of Oahu. I envision it at the base of the Kahuku Mountain Range about 10 minutes drive to Sunset Beach and the "Banzai Pipleline." I have been being called back to that island for some specific reason since my awakening. From this place is where I would like to write.
My consulting/counseling business would take me around the globe, and I would expect to be "on the road" about three months a year.
The rest of my "work" time would be spent cooking in my restuarant, or writing from my rental house on Oahu.
My "play" time would be filled with helping my family and friends experience as much "flavor" in life as possible. I would like my children to be able to experience as many cultures, people and countries as possible. Travel to India, Africa, Tibet, and South America would be first. The Pyramids of Giza, Macchu Picchu, The Mayan Ruins, The Great Sphinx, Stonehenge, and The Himalayas are the particular places I am being drawn too. I believe there is something I am to learn there.
Philanthrophy is at the top of my list.!!!
The Universe had/has a different idea. September of last year when the bottom fell out, my life has gotten more stressful and difficult, instead of more peaceful and bliss filled. In the end, although its painful at times to deal with, i'm certain it's happening and timing is very purposeful. Maybe i'm not ready for the great responsibility I believe I am about to undertake. I guess we will see what the Universe has planned as time unfolds
This was a very odd week synchronistically and numerical phenomena speaking. Whenever this "stuff" happens to me, I feel like something "MAJOR" is about to happen in my life.
I will start with 6-26-09. I had two customers that day. The first had a birthday of 11-13, and the other 3-31. One customer eventually bought a Hyundai for 11K somewhere else. The other guy is looking for something I don't have, but is still willing to wait until one comes in or I find it.
On 6-28-09 I dealt with twoo customers. The first had a birthday of 3-11, and the other had a birthday of 11-3. Nothing "financially" productive came of either of these two.
Yesterday it started out with a husband and wife looking for a 3/4 ton Chevy Suburban. She was very specific in her wants and needs. We didn't have anything on the lot, but I agreed to try and find her something. The vehicle they needed is something thats really hard to find in the market. They actually left my dealership to go look at one in North Seattle which is about 1 1/2 hours away. When they left, I really didn't expect to ever hear from them again.
The day went on, I saw 1:11 on my digital clock. I hopped in a car to move it for someone, and it was 2:22, and so on. Once again, I wished I had someone following me around with a movie camera, documenting all of this as it happens.
About 3:30 a middle aged guy in a Honda Civic SI pulled in and got out of his car and was looking at a used 350-Z we have. Nice car, well taken car of....blah...blah...yada...yada..He was in good shape. He was wearing a tank top. When he got out of his car, he kinda flexed when he walked. Short guy with a big ego i thought, as I chuckled to myself.
He was very standoffish at first...told me he didn't want to "play the two hour back and forth game." I assured him I wasn't that guy. He stressed he needed 16k for his car, and he had for sale signs all over it backing up his "theory." I finally got him to agree to drive the car and let me try to work out the rest. I tried my best to put him at ease, but he was a hard nut to crack. I'm sure he has been told by everyone in his life that you have to "watch out" for car salesman. Standing out on the lot with my co-workers, I have even been called a "vulture" a few times. Thats alot of fun.
Right after he left, my general manager's son came out and told me that my customer was his former wrestling coach. I told my general manager who my customer was, and he agreed to sit down with the guy. With what seemed like all the stars aligned perfectly, I approaced him with a smile after the test drive. I informed him my general manager wanted to work with him directly as a thank you gesture for doing such a good job with both of his kids in high school. My GM even went out to talk to him. The customer suddenly came up with, "I have to be at an appointment in fifteen minutes, call me if we can give him 16k for his car." What he was really saying, based on my years in the business was, "i'm too scared that you guys will actually sell me a car I like face to face, so we need to negotiate over the phone."
I have been in the auto industry for 7 years and I have been told "I will be back" thousands of times. Statistics show us that about 90% of customers who say they will "be back" are lying through their teeth.
Here is a short list of the BS I have heard. I am going to lunch to think about it; I have a Doctor/ Dentist appointment in 10 minutes; my kid has a birthday party to go to; I am late to an appointment; I need to get your best "numbers" to go home and think about it. I am getting a "settlement" in 30 days, then I will come buy the car.. etc...etc..etc...AD INFINITUM
This is a VERY SHORT LIST. When a customer says, "I need your best "numbers" to go think about it overnight." What he/she TRULY means is I need your best numbers, so I can call three other dealerships, and if they beat your price by $100 I am going to go there and buy it becuase I lack any integrity, and your time as a 100% commissioned salesperson means nothing to me.
When I go look for a car, I go look for a car. I don't book dental appointments on the same day I am looking to buy a car.
We have a term in the car business that says, "buyers are liars." The more i'm in the business the more I agree with the statement. In fact I would go as far as saying most "car guys" I know are pretty "stand-up" people. Don't get me wrong, if the opportunity is there to make the most money possible, I will do it everytime. Customers should know what cars are worth before they go out to buy them.
So I sit down with my GM to work up some "numbers." His Civic was worth 13K , and I knew it was going to be close to that. Kelley Blue book backed that figure up and the customer even knew what the trade value was. I knew there was between 3-4k markup in the 350-z, so I knew I was sitting on a very small deal if the GM agreed to take it. He punched a few keys and the keyboard and wrote down some numders with a black sharpie on a plain sheet of white paper.
He came back at full price ($23,999) on ours and $15,275 for his. I knew it was a very small deal, but my GM wanted to do the guy a favor, and it was a deal nonetheless. I called the customer at home. I spelled it all out for him. He said "thanks" but he was going to have to pass. So I asked him exactly what we would have to do to sell him the car. In the end we agreed on $23,000 for ours and $16,000 for his. He said if we met those numbers he would come buy the car. I told him I thought we were "eons" away, but I would take the proposal to the GM, to see what he would say.
I sat down with the GM again, and after a few more punches of the keyboard, he said, "call the guy up and get him in here." Which means, yea we will take the deal. He turned the screen and showed me a net profit of about $600.00 on a premuim car that we could sell for alot more. Quite frankly I was shocked, and moreover I didn't really want to sell the car that cheap.
I called the customer with the great news to find out what time he would be in to complete the transaction, to which he replied, "can I think about it overnight." I looked at my GM, shaking my head and smiling, and asked my GM if he could think about it overnight. My GM, knowing what "I need to think about it overnight" really means said, "Thats fine.
The customer didn't buy the car today, and i'm pretty certain he never really had any intention of buying the car. I'm still not certain what his motive was for even looking at a car or being at a dealership. These are the customers I have difficulty finding the higher meaning and purpose in the interaction.
Later in the afternooon, my customer who went to look at the big suburban up north callled me back to let me know that they wanted me to find them the right car, because the one they went to look at had been completely misrepresented. I immediately went to work. My GM and used car manager began calling wholesalers in the area, and scouring the auction reports. In two hours of digging they were able to find two vehicles in a 300 mile raduis that fit these folks criteria. As I was putting together the paperwork to structure a deal to send to a few potential lenders I smiled when I noticed their birthdays were 10-13, and 3-31. Once again I saw all the stars in the Universe all alligning for me.
During the course of a four hour process, we found the vehicle, secured it, arranged how we were going to get it here from Oregon, showed them pictures, explained everything that was on the vehicle, and they went through my business office, signing and in effect purchasing a vehicle without even seeing it.
I explained to them in detail this was the process we had to go through, because my dealership wasn't going to buy and stock one of these vehicles because there is very little market for them, they tie up alot of money, they burn gas at the rate of about 8-10mpg and no one wants them. The only way they were going to get the vehicle was if they agreed to purchase it sight unseen, because in the event they backed out of it, we would be the proud owners of a gas guzzler that we wouldn't be able to "give away."
They were told it would be in good running condition, look good, etc. The only right of recission they were given, was if the vehicle showed up not equipped as promised. I had them sign a piece of paper last night that outlined all the features. His credit was good enough, he was most likely an "auto approval," which means at the click a a mouse, a bank would have electronically agreed to fund this loan without looking at anything.
I left the dealership at about 10PM last night after spending hours finding these folks a car that didn't exist and they couldn't find anywhere and were desperate and motivated to buy. About 3/4 of the way through the process my customers told me I was the "nicest" salesperson they had ever dealt with.
It seems they had purchased a huge camper trailer and with the big 4th of July weekend coming up, they had nothing to pull it with yet.
In the 7 years of doing this work, I have sold a handful of cars "sight unseen." Each and every one has been alot of work. This particular project was no different. Between my GM, my used car manager, a slew of wholesalers, and myself, we have about 20 hours total invested to this point.
So when I got up at 9:30 ready to enjoy my one day off this week, and listened to my voicemail hearing my customers voice in a tone I knew wasn't "good" asking me to call her back, I wasn't excited anymore.
My plan was to get up and head to a waterpark in Seattle for a day o' fun with my daughter who has never been there.
I called my customer, knowing that what she was going to tell me wasn't going to be what I wanted to hear.
It sounded something like this. It was late, I really want an 07 or newer because I like the body style better, you didn't tell us it was the old body style (her husband and I had a 5 minute conversation about it beeing an old body style), my husband is finding 07's for about the same price as you sold us the 06 for (we had to inflate numbers for bank structure because they were NINE THOUSAND DOLLARS "Upside Down" in their van", I felt obligated to sign papers even though I wasn't comfortable signing papers because you were so nice and patient with us, I am a "flake" (exact words), I really don't want this suburban, etc.
By this time, I get a text from my GM that says "whats up with your lady," and I knew she had already talked to the dealership.
So I do my best in keeping calm and professional, but let her know that I was frustrated, because I put my nose out there for them, I didn't lie, misrepresent, or anything, and I was certain her husband, her and I spoke about the different body style. She responded with the fact she was frustrated at the process too. I wondered why, when the night before, I was the "best" salesperson she had ever dealt with. She said she wished she had "gone home to think about it, " and I told her that I wished she would have too.
As I was ending my 15 minute conversation with her, frustrated and upset, I pulled into my bank parking lot to get cash to go to the waterpark. As I was pulling in I was almost hit by a big car. I looked at the license plate and it began with 666-#$%. I knew I was focusing too much on the material world and money, and that financial abundance will be provided if I get out of the way, and just allow.
In the final analysis I believe she thought she paid to much for the car after consulting a "car expert" friend, or the internet. What most "car experts" and the internet can't and don't take into account is market availability. I can say with 100% integrity and candor what she is needing/wanting is like finding a needle in the haystack.
After my trip to the bank I stopped by work to speak to my GM. I was dreading the conversation. It wasn't pleasant. I took it in stride, with a knowing that everything was perfect. I told him we would find them a vehicle that they will like, in the year range they actually want, and we will have customers for life.
I called back my customer and did my best to make sure I didn't offend her by telling her I was frustrated with her. I told her I was just being honest. I told her that if the dealership really wanted too, they could "hold their feet to the fire," byt making them take the vehicle. After speaking to both her and her husband a few times today, I'm not sure if they will come back to me to buy the vehicle. I hope they do, but I am done trying to figure out why people do the things they do.
I have manifested an overabundance of folks that have been very difficult to deal with this month. Some very unkind, some lied to my face, and some backed out last moment. I sit here and try to figure out the higher purpose of it all and wonder?
Shanna, Tehya, and I spent five hours at the waterpark today. It was glorious and fun. We all got a bit sunburned. It was Tehya's first time there, and she had a ball. I love seeing my kids enjoy life. At 42 years young, it was fun for me to slide down water slides too. On the way there and back Shanna and I both were inundated with "numbers." We now point out numerical synchronicity to one another like most people talk about current news and weather. Its pretty cool
I save and date drivers licenses on "demo permits" of my customers, with little notes about the synchronicity surrounding the interaction. I often wonder what the mathematical odds for the phenomena I experience is, I'm sure its huge. I expect to actually have to prove this stuff is happening to me at some point. Saving this stuff, and taking pictures is tangible proof.
Once again for my readers, followers, and for anyone who stumbled upon this blog. Thanks for taking the time to read it. I hope it inspires you to look for the synchronicity, and magic that is your life....moment to moment.
There are no coincidences or "random occurrance." Everything, down to the smallest most minute detail is placed in your path day to day...moment to moment... with complete purpose. Your job is to figure out "what for."
As I sit here, I ponder with guarded optimism, and anticipation what wonders I will experience this upcoming year. If it is anything similar to the past few years, I have the feeling it should be very interesting.
I wish you all Peace, Abundance, and Joy
and...a yearning to discover TRUTH.

I would be living half the year in a modest house on a few acres of land in the Yelm/Rainier area of Washington. The home would be completely self-sustainable. Well water, septic, wood heat, and solar power coupled with the traditional power sources when the need arises. I would garden and farm to supply food for my family and others in the community. Good, organic vegetables and fruits, and non steriod fed, organic animals. I'm talking about a few cows, a goat or two, and some chickens. The cows and goats would be used primarily for milk and cheese, the chickens for eggs of course. Since I read the book, "above all be kind" a year and 10 months ago, It has become increasingly difficult for me to eat alot of meat. I have considered cutting out most meat products entirely, and in fact have decreased my meat intake by half overall.
If the dream of owning and operating an entirely organic restuarant ever materializes, I would use as much product out of my farm and garden as possible in the operation of the restuarant.
The other half of the year I would be in another modest rental house on the North Shore of Oahu. I envision it at the base of the Kahuku Mountain Range about 10 minutes drive to Sunset Beach and the "Banzai Pipleline." I have been being called back to that island for some specific reason since my awakening. From this place is where I would like to write.
My consulting/counseling business would take me around the globe, and I would expect to be "on the road" about three months a year.
The rest of my "work" time would be spent cooking in my restuarant, or writing from my rental house on Oahu.
My "play" time would be filled with helping my family and friends experience as much "flavor" in life as possible. I would like my children to be able to experience as many cultures, people and countries as possible. Travel to India, Africa, Tibet, and South America would be first. The Pyramids of Giza, Macchu Picchu, The Mayan Ruins, The Great Sphinx, Stonehenge, and The Himalayas are the particular places I am being drawn too. I believe there is something I am to learn there.
Philanthrophy is at the top of my list.!!!
The Universe had/has a different idea. September of last year when the bottom fell out, my life has gotten more stressful and difficult, instead of more peaceful and bliss filled. In the end, although its painful at times to deal with, i'm certain it's happening and timing is very purposeful. Maybe i'm not ready for the great responsibility I believe I am about to undertake. I guess we will see what the Universe has planned as time unfolds
This was a very odd week synchronistically and numerical phenomena speaking. Whenever this "stuff" happens to me, I feel like something "MAJOR" is about to happen in my life.
I will start with 6-26-09. I had two customers that day. The first had a birthday of 11-13, and the other 3-31. One customer eventually bought a Hyundai for 11K somewhere else. The other guy is looking for something I don't have, but is still willing to wait until one comes in or I find it.
On 6-28-09 I dealt with twoo customers. The first had a birthday of 3-11, and the other had a birthday of 11-3. Nothing "financially" productive came of either of these two.
Yesterday it started out with a husband and wife looking for a 3/4 ton Chevy Suburban. She was very specific in her wants and needs. We didn't have anything on the lot, but I agreed to try and find her something. The vehicle they needed is something thats really hard to find in the market. They actually left my dealership to go look at one in North Seattle which is about 1 1/2 hours away. When they left, I really didn't expect to ever hear from them again.
The day went on, I saw 1:11 on my digital clock. I hopped in a car to move it for someone, and it was 2:22, and so on. Once again, I wished I had someone following me around with a movie camera, documenting all of this as it happens.
About 3:30 a middle aged guy in a Honda Civic SI pulled in and got out of his car and was looking at a used 350-Z we have. Nice car, well taken car of....blah...blah...yada...yada..He was in good shape. He was wearing a tank top. When he got out of his car, he kinda flexed when he walked. Short guy with a big ego i thought, as I chuckled to myself.
He was very standoffish at first...told me he didn't want to "play the two hour back and forth game." I assured him I wasn't that guy. He stressed he needed 16k for his car, and he had for sale signs all over it backing up his "theory." I finally got him to agree to drive the car and let me try to work out the rest. I tried my best to put him at ease, but he was a hard nut to crack. I'm sure he has been told by everyone in his life that you have to "watch out" for car salesman. Standing out on the lot with my co-workers, I have even been called a "vulture" a few times. Thats alot of fun.
Right after he left, my general manager's son came out and told me that my customer was his former wrestling coach. I told my general manager who my customer was, and he agreed to sit down with the guy. With what seemed like all the stars aligned perfectly, I approaced him with a smile after the test drive. I informed him my general manager wanted to work with him directly as a thank you gesture for doing such a good job with both of his kids in high school. My GM even went out to talk to him. The customer suddenly came up with, "I have to be at an appointment in fifteen minutes, call me if we can give him 16k for his car." What he was really saying, based on my years in the business was, "i'm too scared that you guys will actually sell me a car I like face to face, so we need to negotiate over the phone."
I have been in the auto industry for 7 years and I have been told "I will be back" thousands of times. Statistics show us that about 90% of customers who say they will "be back" are lying through their teeth.
Here is a short list of the BS I have heard. I am going to lunch to think about it; I have a Doctor/ Dentist appointment in 10 minutes; my kid has a birthday party to go to; I am late to an appointment; I need to get your best "numbers" to go home and think about it. I am getting a "settlement" in 30 days, then I will come buy the car.. etc...etc..etc...AD INFINITUM
This is a VERY SHORT LIST. When a customer says, "I need your best "numbers" to go think about it overnight." What he/she TRULY means is I need your best numbers, so I can call three other dealerships, and if they beat your price by $100 I am going to go there and buy it becuase I lack any integrity, and your time as a 100% commissioned salesperson means nothing to me.
When I go look for a car, I go look for a car. I don't book dental appointments on the same day I am looking to buy a car.
We have a term in the car business that says, "buyers are liars." The more i'm in the business the more I agree with the statement. In fact I would go as far as saying most "car guys" I know are pretty "stand-up" people. Don't get me wrong, if the opportunity is there to make the most money possible, I will do it everytime. Customers should know what cars are worth before they go out to buy them.
So I sit down with my GM to work up some "numbers." His Civic was worth 13K , and I knew it was going to be close to that. Kelley Blue book backed that figure up and the customer even knew what the trade value was. I knew there was between 3-4k markup in the 350-z, so I knew I was sitting on a very small deal if the GM agreed to take it. He punched a few keys and the keyboard and wrote down some numders with a black sharpie on a plain sheet of white paper.
He came back at full price ($23,999) on ours and $15,275 for his. I knew it was a very small deal, but my GM wanted to do the guy a favor, and it was a deal nonetheless. I called the customer at home. I spelled it all out for him. He said "thanks" but he was going to have to pass. So I asked him exactly what we would have to do to sell him the car. In the end we agreed on $23,000 for ours and $16,000 for his. He said if we met those numbers he would come buy the car. I told him I thought we were "eons" away, but I would take the proposal to the GM, to see what he would say.
I sat down with the GM again, and after a few more punches of the keyboard, he said, "call the guy up and get him in here." Which means, yea we will take the deal. He turned the screen and showed me a net profit of about $600.00 on a premuim car that we could sell for alot more. Quite frankly I was shocked, and moreover I didn't really want to sell the car that cheap.
I called the customer with the great news to find out what time he would be in to complete the transaction, to which he replied, "can I think about it overnight." I looked at my GM, shaking my head and smiling, and asked my GM if he could think about it overnight. My GM, knowing what "I need to think about it overnight" really means said, "Thats fine.

Once again I saw all the stars in the Universe all alligning for me.

I had them sign a piece of paper last night that outlined all the features. His credit was good enough, he was most likely an "auto approval," which means at the click a a mouse, a bank would have electronically agreed to fund this loan without looking at anything.

Dreams, Synchronicity, and the New World Order.
Very early in my awakening I was led down a path of discovery/awareness about The Illumaniti and other secret societies, as well as the catch phrase "A New World Order."
I had many dreams early on involving Freemason and Illumaniti symbology. In one, President John F. Kennedy said to me "Its all a lie." His lips were moving, and he was speaking directly to me in my dream
I have completed HOURS of research on 2012, The New World Order, The Illumaniti, The Freemasons, The Bilderberg Group, The Federal Reserve, 9-11-2001, FEMA, United States Tax Code, The Department of Homeland Security, the assassinations of J.F.K, R.F.K, M.L.K., John Lennon, and Ghandi, and others. Further, I have completed research on NASA, "UFO's and other "cover-ups" thoughout history.
What I have been discovering is shocking, and what is "happening" to humanity globally backs up what those "wacko" conspiracy theorists have been saying for decades.
Since my awakening that began on 7-1-07, intuition has led me down many paths of discovery. What used to sound like "crazy talk" now resonates deep within me, and I have felt a distinct yearning to bring all of this "stuff" into the light.
Whats more is my sincere belief that I was awoken to share the truth of "who we really are" with anyone who will listen. Along with creating a world filled with Peace, Harmony, and Abundance for all, not just a select few.
Before I sat down to approach this subject I thought about the potential ramifications of putting these words on paper. It has been knawing at me for quite some time, but I haven't written about it yet out of fear. That time is over.
Two years ago I didn't care about much, outside of my little circle of influence. I looked at people speaking out against the Iraq War as liberal sissies. My pro-military mindset thought the answer was to wipe Iraq off the map. I believed my government's intention was pure, to rid the world of the "evil" Sadaam Hussein, and to rid the country of Iraq of it's weapons of mass destruction.
Today and everyday for the past 24 months, I wonder what I can do to help awaken the core of humanity to whats really going on. It seems that the core of humanity would rather turn a blind eye, and bury it's head in the sand. When I have attempted to approach these touchy subjects with my family and friends, the response is that of apathy, or I get "the deer in the headlights" look.
Alot of folks have been trying to do just that for many years. David Icke is the first person who comes to mind. Naomi Wolf, Alex Jones, Ron Paul, Aaron Russo, and others are doing and saying the exact same things. This is a very short list. Two years ago I would have listened to what these folks had to say and then said they were either crazy, dillusional, or traitors. I now see these folks as pure PATRIOTS, standing up for the freedoms we were guarenteed in our Constitution. These individuals see the writing on the wall, and they are speaking out. I believe it's time for the rest of "us" to get educated, to listen and learn with an open heart and mind, and to start doing something about it.
RIGHT NOW, under our noses, our FREEDOM is slowly being eroded, and taken away from us. Some people have even likened it to pre-World War II Nazi Germany. Our's is a closing society, and most of us are to busy voting for the next American Idol to be concerned about it. What's happening in my country and globally frighten me to the core of my being.
Here is what I know for sure. Just because NBC, CBS, ABC and others report it, doesn't mean its real. Remember when this war in Iraq first started, and Iraq's Minister of Information kept going on Al jazeera TV, telling the Iraqi Citizens the United States Military was being easilly defeated, while US tanks were rolling down the outskirts of Baghdad. Its kind of the same principle for me with "network and cable news." Two years ago, in my perpetual state of "un-consciousness" I believed anything the news media and government told me, because I KNEW my government would NEVER lie to me. I'm not so certain of that anymore. In fact, i'm quite concerned about how much I am deceived, misled, and lied too by all of those people I used to trust unconditionally.
Here is something else I know. Less than 250 Bankers control almost 50% of the global economy. Poverty, Starvation, Violence, War, Corruption, and alot of other EVIL keep the majority of this planet in fear, while the ELITE Unseen pull the strings like that of a master puppeteer.
Those "kind" people who orchestrate all the chaos and misery globally are responsible for the current state of affairs in this world. They do so without any thought or remorse for a family starving in Africa, or an eighteen year old kid with his chest blown apart in Iraq.
There is so much injustice in the world, and what I know to be TRUTH since my awakening, is that it was NEVER intended to be this way. God abhors war, poverty, and violence in any form.
The good news is this. People like me are being awoken all over this great big planet. WE are concerned, and we are motivated to see and be change. We know the only way to Peace is through Peace.
Here's how I see it. We can continue sitting idly by, while our freedom slowly erodes around us, or we can stand up and speak out. I prefer the latter
The synchronicity that surrounds me day in and day out led me down these various and multiple paths of discovery. I believe I was led down these paths of discovery with complete purpose in mind. I believe it's my responsibility to share this truth with humanity before its too late to do anything to stop it.

I had many dreams early on involving Freemason and Illumaniti symbology. In one, President John F. Kennedy said to me "Its all a lie." His lips were moving, and he was speaking directly to me in my dream
I have completed HOURS of research on 2012, The New World Order, The Illumaniti, The Freemasons, The Bilderberg Group, The Federal Reserve, 9-11-2001, FEMA, United States Tax Code, The Department of Homeland Security, the assassinations of J.F.K, R.F.K, M.L.K., John Lennon, and Ghandi, and others. Further, I have completed research on NASA, "UFO's and other "cover-ups" thoughout history.
What I have been discovering is shocking, and what is "happening" to humanity globally backs up what those "wacko" conspiracy theorists have been saying for decades.
Since my awakening that began on 7-1-07, intuition has led me down many paths of discovery. What used to sound like "crazy talk" now resonates deep within me, and I have felt a distinct yearning to bring all of this "stuff" into the light.
Whats more is my sincere belief that I was awoken to share the truth of "who we really are" with anyone who will listen. Along with creating a world filled with Peace, Harmony, and Abundance for all, not just a select few.
Before I sat down to approach this subject I thought about the potential ramifications of putting these words on paper. It has been knawing at me for quite some time, but I haven't written about it yet out of fear. That time is over.
Two years ago I didn't care about much, outside of my little circle of influence. I looked at people speaking out against the Iraq War as liberal sissies. My pro-military mindset thought the answer was to wipe Iraq off the map. I believed my government's intention was pure, to rid the world of the "evil" Sadaam Hussein, and to rid the country of Iraq of it's weapons of mass destruction.
Today and everyday for the past 24 months, I wonder what I can do to help awaken the core of humanity to whats really going on. It seems that the core of humanity would rather turn a blind eye, and bury it's head in the sand. When I have attempted to approach these touchy subjects with my family and friends, the response is that of apathy, or I get "the deer in the headlights" look.
Alot of folks have been trying to do just that for many years. David Icke is the first person who comes to mind. Naomi Wolf, Alex Jones, Ron Paul, Aaron Russo, and others are doing and saying the exact same things. This is a very short list. Two years ago I would have listened to what these folks had to say and then said they were either crazy, dillusional, or traitors. I now see these folks as pure PATRIOTS, standing up for the freedoms we were guarenteed in our Constitution. These individuals see the writing on the wall, and they are speaking out. I believe it's time for the rest of "us" to get educated, to listen and learn with an open heart and mind, and to start doing something about it.
RIGHT NOW, under our noses, our FREEDOM is slowly being eroded, and taken away from us. Some people have even likened it to pre-World War II Nazi Germany. Our's is a closing society, and most of us are to busy voting for the next American Idol to be concerned about it. What's happening in my country and globally frighten me to the core of my being.
Here is what I know for sure. Just because NBC, CBS, ABC and others report it, doesn't mean its real. Remember when this war in Iraq first started, and Iraq's Minister of Information kept going on Al jazeera TV, telling the Iraqi Citizens the United States Military was being easilly defeated, while US tanks were rolling down the outskirts of Baghdad. Its kind of the same principle for me with "network and cable news." Two years ago, in my perpetual state of "un-consciousness" I believed anything the news media and government told me, because I KNEW my government would NEVER lie to me. I'm not so certain of that anymore. In fact, i'm quite concerned about how much I am deceived, misled, and lied too by all of those people I used to trust unconditionally.
Here is something else I know. Less than 250 Bankers control almost 50% of the global economy. Poverty, Starvation, Violence, War, Corruption, and alot of other EVIL keep the majority of this planet in fear, while the ELITE Unseen pull the strings like that of a master puppeteer.
Those "kind" people who orchestrate all the chaos and misery globally are responsible for the current state of affairs in this world. They do so without any thought or remorse for a family starving in Africa, or an eighteen year old kid with his chest blown apart in Iraq.
There is so much injustice in the world, and what I know to be TRUTH since my awakening, is that it was NEVER intended to be this way. God abhors war, poverty, and violence in any form.
The good news is this. People like me are being awoken all over this great big planet. WE are concerned, and we are motivated to see and be change. We know the only way to Peace is through Peace.
Here's how I see it. We can continue sitting idly by, while our freedom slowly erodes around us, or we can stand up and speak out. I prefer the latter
The synchronicity that surrounds me day in and day out led me down these various and multiple paths of discovery. I believe I was led down these paths of discovery with complete purpose in mind. I believe it's my responsibility to share this truth with humanity before its too late to do anything to stop it.
