Rudy, in his inimitable way, comments on one of the more confounding aspects of  ‘this modern world.’

“Whooshing has to do with speed, what many of the societies of your world are so enamored with. Well, when we “whoosh” excessively, we cannot hear, neither can we see effectively and, as a result, opportunities go by the wayside. Now there are natural whooshes too, like when we fall asleep and leave the physical body, whether to nap or for the eve. Whoosh is also the sound made by munitions, portending misfortune, and a state of being which can easily be applied to the human condition, the wrinkle in time that is each incarnation. To not whoosh, we have to be more aware of when we are, and at least slow it down a little. Whooshing is sometimes equivalent to being fully ‘in the flow.’ Surprising enough, but we are not always served when we move, in some cases, too quickly.” ~ Rudolph Valentino

“What a lovely concept and a very clever twist on a familiar word! Elation:  being elated, elevated too. Our feelings are heightened when we are elated and that is exactly when breakthroughs occur, walls crumble. Elation equals elastic. There is something fun there that expands consciousness, knowledge, whatever the case may be. This applies not only to relationships with people but also with your ‘drivers’ ~ in other words, what inspires you. These are the things that promote elation. You, for example, (speaking to the author) experience it when we work together ~ always exciting as you never know what will issue forth from my/our pen. But I digress here, just a little. Elation, etheric thing that it is, can easily be achieved in your world ~ something to aspire to. [Read more…]

“A quality that should never be strained. Do not attempt, therefore, to corner or dole it out. Like hope, patience must always spring eternal. Heaven-like, we see it reflected in the Nature that surrounds us. Flowers bloom in their time, plants do not force their little buds. Trees do not even drop their leaves all of a sudden. The rub is that on some level we remember our lives in the Astral, and the instantaneous manifestations we all so proudly wrought. Now, what seems like ‘time’ must pass far too often before we get to taste the fruits of our labors. Know that you are not more worthy than the Creator! He/She is patient, so should you be, thus no lusting after outcomes. Simply steer your thoughts in the appropriate direction (where you want them to go) and then begin to allow. Children are actually far more patient than adults and, generally speaking, as one’s age increases patience tends to decrease. Reverse that trend and you will have drunk from the fountain of youth! Patience wears well too, so much better than haste.

When you find yourself desperately wanting to have that which you seek without further delay, go outside in the eve and gaze upon a star, the best example of patience there ever was! Evolutionary tales, never any kind of travail; everything in its time!” ~ Rudolph Valentino

“I was really introduced to this word as Rudy. Actually, someone applied it to me, to my physicality, and I did have a certain ‘savoir faire’ in terms of having a look and how I presented myself, and that is what I want to stress for all of you. Adapt yourselves! Create jauntiness, a ‘désinvolture’ that works for you. Everyone may exhibit pulchritude, and on many different levels. Kindness, too, is a form of it, and an unguent, a balm for the unknowing and unaware. You are not, however, by embracing this concept, making yourself into a chameleon. Rather, you are adapting your “Source” resources, playing with them, actively. Looking good is only a part of that, and everyone can look good!

This is what to remember: no downers please, about gray hair, or aging. Make them instead your crowning glory ~ glory = glorious. Farm yourselves out, thusly, with your own special twist. My smile was a part of it too, of the whole package. When my face broke out in rainbows, people took notice. Don’t be sour, friends, no sucking on lemons! Garb that stops traffic, which does not mean alarming or red necessarily, is also advisable. Good bones, I was blessed with them and so were you! We are all pretty much the same under the skin.” ~ Rudolph Valentino
