AN OLD DOG TEACHING NEW TRICKS
THE FIRST TRICK
Old Dog says,
“Experience is experience. Whatever, we think or say about the experience is a story. “
“There is truth to your story, but your story is never all of truth. Your story is never the only truth. Your story isn’t the only story. And your story is never, ever the experience.”
This trick and concept is a foundation to many things. It offers us the path to the realization of choice. It is an opportunity and path to the fulfillment of knowing that you are truly the "author" of your life. But, how we perceive our experiences and how we portray ourselves creates the reality of our relationships with self and others. By accepting this as a belief and a daily practice, we open ourselves to "authentic authorship".
CURRENT MOMENT WITH OLD DOG
Explore Unique Thoughts, Concepts, Perspectives And Visions
People may try to interfere and challenge your authorship and creating reality. Their world and story is based what they may consider to be facts, rules and their construct of reality. For many, the only way that they can feel right is to prove others wrong.
This ability to fully own what one thinks and says as one’s own story is why this trick is a foundation to thinking differently.
It is Old Dog’s sincere belief that we are all making things up all the time. This idea seems to disturb many people. It may be an indication of how some are more comfortable with rigid definitions of what we call fiction and non-fiction or a fact and belief. What Old Dog offers here are thoughts which affirm and emphasize that each of has a specific perspective and point of view.
The main difference in life is that some of us are willing to admit that we are making things up and others are not. It becomes more of an issue of whether one is willing to accept a level of responsibility for one’s life in more authentic and vital ways.
If, you don’t realize or admit you are making things up then Old Dog says that you are either fooling yourself (which can be fun) or you are lying.
For Those Who Feel Reading Is Just Too Much Exercise
Listen To Old Dog
Many Ask....
Who Is Old Dog Anyway ?
-
Some suggest that Old Dog is an Ancient Animal Spirit related to the Trickster Coyote Spirit. One that offers an expression of practical absurdity, useful chaos and just possibly playful wisdom.
Some even believe that Old Dog is heyoka.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia…
“Among the Lakota people, the heyoka is a contrarian, jester, satirist or sacred clown. The heyoka speaks, moves and reacts in an opposite fashion to the people around them.”
Others, even wonder if Old Dog is a "time traveler" bringing insight and entertaining distractions from both the Past and the Future.
Yet, there are those who say Old Dog is simply just a persona manifested by David Mueller when he chooses to mouth off about something and not take complete credit or responsibility for it. Who knows what is truth and reality ?
Old Dog Says....
Who Is David Mueller Anyway ?
-
Some say, that this Man is a massage therapist, bodyworker, healer, healing & arts wellness center/spa owner. Others suggest, he is a teacher, husband, joker, author, fool, grandfather, great grandfather, songwriter, photographer and infamous T-shirt author. Still there are those who make accusations that he is a heretic preacher’s kid, bad influence, current translator/channel for Old Dog Spirit and a general know it all who is substantially a consistently and uniquely a weird human being.
Old Dog says…
This Man may seem to be a lot of things. Honestly, the Boy may have been confused in grade school when they said, “You can be anything you want to be when you grow up. He thought they said, “You can be everything you want to be. So, that may be why He obviously believes he has the “big box of crayons”.
He claims to be a fully credentialed, certified Human Being (which he believes is a verb).
Some suggest that he is just certifiable.
Old Dog has heard rumors that this Man says that when he looks in the Mirror, he at times sees himself as Old Dog.
Well, Old Dog neither confirms or denies that from time to time when he looks into the Mirror and that he sees himself as that Man.
I guess it just depends on which side of the Mirror you are standing.
