"Keep pursuing knowledge and keep changing the balance of lack and abundance in your mind. Carefully select the thoughts that you prefer to think about people, and know that when your thoughts about each person in your life remains stable and full of light, then external forces no longer have a hold on you. And once you are free from the pressure of external forces, then you are zooming along in your path of positive manifestation. Until then these external forces all have the power to shift you from your path. Anchor your mind safely in the energy of Joyful Manifestation."

"MAN'S REACH SHOULD EXCEED HIS GRASP!!!"
From lying in the gutters:
"Travis Charest has been dropped from Alejandro Jodorowski's long-awaited DREAMSHIFTERS graphic novel, with artwork being taken over by Zoran Janjetov, for publication later this year. Why?"
"Travis states, 'I started working on this book over six years ago, the original idea was for me to do the pages in pen and ink and have them colored. I got it in my head that although I wasn't a painter and hadn't ever painted a comic, I would paint this one. Big mistake, a disaster. It took forever to get a page finished, I was redoing pages, changing the paints, a nightmare, by the time I'd left Paris and moved back to the USA I only had a dozen pages to show for nearly two years work. Since coming back, the pages haven't really come any faster, and after all this time, I've only produced 30 pages of 'DREAMSHIFTERS.' It wasn't a case of screwing the pooch or anything like that, I've always worked hard, I just had a laborious process and a dismal understanding of how to really paint. I haven't had any new script for a year or so and I figured something like this was happening, but I found out like you did, someone mentioned the article to me and I asked my editors about it. I can't blame them, if the book ends up being around 48-52 pages, then at the pace I was going, they'd be waiting another 4 years for this to be finished. If anything they should be applauded for being as patient as they were, especially Jodo, a wonderful, generous man who only wants to see his book finished and deserves more than I've been able to give him. I've wanted to talk about all this for a long time but wasn't able to. I may still do more pages and the cover, but other than that I'm not sure. Now you know everything I know.:)'"
I find this incredibly inspiring and can't wait to get DREAMSHIFTERS! I believe this is the trait of a true artist. Everything is in the reaching. The fact that Charest, a man at the top of his game, decided to foresake all the big-time easy money and paint a comic he was supposed to pencil, taking 3 months to complete one page, and doing so for 6 years is astonishing. He literally is a Michael Jackson of the artworld. He goes from selling hundreds of thousands of issues a month to completely disappearing for 6 years from the entire scene. He must have really grown.
EXCITING!!!

"I was going to ask, 'So when will you start?' But it just dawned on me, there's nothing to start. All you need to do is feel. So the more appropriate question is, 'When will you feel happiness, connection, etc?' If you find yourself beginning to answer with 'When such-and-such happens', it's a misguided answer - take a moment, and think about it again.
"There is nothing important outside yourself you don't already possess."
