What does a celebrity chef do after he’s helped others launch and promote countless restaurants? He takes his own new concept to the place he’s from – the streets! CPM caught up with Chef Hesse to see what’s been cookin’.

“I’m currently having a food truck built out. It’s going to offer artisanal style, gourmet grilled cheese.” Chef calls his new creation Fo’ Cheezy Twisted Meltz. “It’s not yo momma’s grilled cheese. I’m going to make chef aggressive melts that mash up different cultures and flavors.” And, with crazy melts like the Cuban War Pig, the Mac Daddy Roll, Buffalo Mother Clucker and The Lick Back, we know it’s going to be off the hook. “Originally I’d planned on a brick and mortar restaurant with a different name but I wanted my food to be more accessible to people. I want the guy who’s never tasted duck to try…

Pāli Word a Day for July 06, 2019 — sukhādhivahaṃ — brings happiness, bliss

Yogā ve jāyatī bhūri,
ayogā bhūrisaṅkhayo.
Etaṃ dvedhāpathaṃ ñatvā bhavāya vibhavāya ca,
tathāttānaṃ niveseyya yathā bhūri pavaḍḍhati.

Wisdom springs from meditation;
without meditation wisdom wanes.
Having known these two paths of progress and decline,
let one so conduct oneself that one’s wisdom may increase.

In Observance of America’s Day of Independence – July 4, 2019

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

May we think of freedom, not as the right to do as we please, but as the opportunity to do what is right.
— Peter Marshall

Don’t forget what made America one of the greatest and most tolerant places on earth.

America was no accident.  Did you know that it was born under a secret Masonic constellation called “MERICA” and gets it name from “Amaruca” or “Land of the Plumèd Serpent”. It was the product of a Great Plan for religious liberty and self-governance, launched by a hidden order of ancient philosophers and secret societies that goes back to Egypt. The ideals of the American people were born from the law and language that came out of the Renaissance period.

The spirit of the American people includes the Native Americans who have been the custodians of these great lands since the end of the last ice age. There have many hardships, innovations and challenges along the way, but today we celebrate the likes of Walt Disney, Martin Luther King, our favorite Hollywood movies, The iPhone, and dreams of a brighter tomorrow.

In Manly P. Hall’s book, The Secret Destiny of America, he describes a rousing speech delivered by a mysterious “unknown speaker” before the signing of the Declaration of Independence. The “strange man,” wrote Hall, invisibly entered and exited the locked doors of the statehouse in Philadelphia on July 4, 1776, delivering an oration that bolstered the wavering spirits of the delegates.

“God has given America to be free!” commanded the mysterious speaker, urging the men to overcome their fears of being hanged or beheaded, and to seal destiny by signing the great document. Newly emboldened, the delegates rushed forward to add their names. They looked to thank the stranger only to discover that he had vanished from the locked room. Was this, Hall wondered, “one of the agents of the secret Order, guarding and directing the destiny of America?”

Or, perhaps, was it an angel or an ET?  Either way, we should all be grateful for the geniuses that signed and wrote the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence.

These great documents gave us such principles as Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. God bless America!

July 2019 Energy Update: Surfing the Extremes – Lee Harris

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

Those of you who have followed my updates for a while may have heard me speak about how the times of the extremes are definitely upon us. Extreme speed, extreme transformation and extreme happenings in our lives. And as we go through July and August, that unexpected and that extreme energy is going to come into very sharp focus – for individuals and for us as a collective.

As I was tuning in on what are the specific messages for July, I was given three things:

– Alignment and Rejection

– Elevation and Depletion

– Realization and Reflection

 

Have a great month everyone!

Big love, Lee x

Energy Update | July 2, 2019

Take back what is yours. You have a choice to decide what you give your mental and emotional energy to. You decide to tune in and allow it to live within you when you can just be an observer of the situations that test your patience. You might be working on yourself and evolving past the dramas that once pulled you in.

There’s certain situations that return to test your evolution, but it’s not about anyone else. It’s about how much you have worked on yourself and how much it no longer affects you. When we’re learning to master our inner self we can see clearly what triggers us and those situations are the ones that require us to grow. So be thankful when things come up because you now know how to work through it instead of overreacting and overthinking it.

Mastering yourself is an everyday experience that helps you get better at being the best you. You’ll realize you no longer have the energy to play along or react so easily. You find yourself investing your time in what adds value into your life. Your focus becomes about living a more enriched life because anything else is draining your precious life force. Ask yourself is it even worth giving my precious life force to something that happened in the past? To someone who doesn’t deserve it? To a situation you outgrew? Remember, your attention and your focus is your power.

The scenarios you overthink and constantly replay aren’t evolving you. Stop the self-judgment and just forgive yourself. Decide now that you’re going to better manage your energy. You’re going to think, feel, and do what evolves you. You’re going to make peace with what has happened and what you can’t change.

Starting today you’re going to take your power back by consciously deciding what you feed your energy. Don’t allow anyone to thrive off of you feeling low or down about yourself. You have the power to manage your mental and inner world which will reflect how you handle everyday life. Be very patient with yourself. You’re evolving and learning. Things will get more clear for you.

Pāli Word a Day for July 02, 2019 — titikkhati — to bear, endure, stand

Paṇḍito sīlasampanno
jalaṃ aggīva bhāsati;
bhoge saṃharamānassa

One who is virtuous and wise
shines forth like a blazing fire;
like a bee collecting nectar

Buddhism | What Is Sunyata As It Relates To Samsara and Nirvana?

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

“Whatever can be conceptualized is therefore relative, and whatever is relative is Sunya, empty. Since absolute inconceivable truth is also Sunya, Sunyata or the void is shared by both Samsara and Nirvana. Ultimately, Nirvana truly realized is Samsara properly understood.”  — Nagarjuna
