Your Resistance to Experiencing Life

/0 Comments/in /by

Audio version is here – https://open.substack.com/pub/colindurrant/p/your-resistance-to-experiencing-life

As humans we fear change more than anything. We would rather stay in suffering and pain than imagine a world that is different to our current reality.

We have to know how it is so that we think we have stability. And yet, those that embrace change have a totally different human experience.

In a world that is ever changing, we have to evolve or risk losing everything we have. Sometimes we know what is available to us.

We know that our life could be better and yet still, we resist it. We still fear the changes we have to make.

It is only when we understand that we are responsible for what we have created in our past. The good and the bad.

That we start to understand that we have the power to create a different life in our future.

If only we can embrace change and acknowledge our resistance.

Our resistance will always be there but it is when we go ahead anyway that we can often have the best experiences.

Our fear keeps us small. We believe that we are safe when everything stays the same but we are not.

Imagine for a moment that we live in our house in a village at the bottom of a mountain. Our life is ok.

It is nothing special, nothing spectacular, nothing exciting. But we are ok in our little house and our simple life.

Our adventurous friends tell us how they moved to another village, away from the mountain.

For the mountain is a volcano and one day it may erupt and destroy our home. In this new village, our friends tell us how great everything is.

They get up at 5am every day. They go for a swim in the cold sea. They go hiking together and they learn lessons from a wise man.

They have never been so happy and full of life. To you, this all sounds dangerous and way outside your comfort zone.

You would rather stay cozy in your bed for as long as possible. Avoiding the outside world until you have to face it.

Your little house is safe and warm. You can hide away from the world there. This different life and the potential danger of the volcano isn’t something that you can contemplate.

Getting up at 5am is a hard no. And everyone just says the volcano will erupt but it probably never will.

It is just something that people say to try and get you to move. You strongly resist any change. It actually sounds dangerous to you.

But yes, one day the volcano does erupt a great plume of hot lava. It shoots hundreds of feet into the air and covers the mountain side.

Racing towards the village at the bottom. The whole village is in terror and everyone is running around screaming.

Everyone is leaving with whatever they can take with them. But you shut yourself away in your small house, knowing that you are safe.

People bang on your door and tell you to leave with them but you refuse. You are safe in your little house.

You do not want a life where you have to do all those dangerous things. You want your reality to remain the same.

As you sit there, resisting change, suddenly, your house that you thought was safe and sound is surrounded by larva.

The heat is unbearable as it catches fire. It is at this moment that you realise that by resisting change, you have lost.

Your fear of moving and having a different, better life was too great. Your thought you were safe here.

In the same token, you may reach 80 years old and realise the same thing. It is too late to have a different life because now you are too old.

You are too old to change and your resistance won and you have lost. Do not perish or get too old before you understand that a different reality is available to all those that do not resist change.

To realise that you have the responsibility of creating a different life for yourself. Do not tell your grandchildren that you almost had a great life.

You almost went on amazing adventures. But you didn’t and no, you don’t have any exciting stories for them.

You don’t have any lessons for them because you did not fully experience life. You cannot play with them because you are not fit and healthy.

You thought that by doing nothing you would be safe and yet here you are. You lose what you don’t use.

So use your imagination to inspire yourself to take massive action, acknowledge and ignore your resistance.

To create a magical life that you can recite to your grandchildren endlessly. To fill them with excitement as to what is possible in their own lives.

Create a life for yourself that inspires others.

The Universe

/0 Comments/in /by

Audio version available here – https://colindurrant.substack.com/p/the-universe

The fabric of time and space bends in ways you cannot even imagine. As humans, everything we believe has to be seen with our own two eyes.

We have to see it to believe that it is possible. However, in space and the universe which lies outside of earth, everything is very different.

Our telescopes show us the planets and stars and the sun. Show us our small solar system endlessly circling. Floating in a limitless universe.

What they don’t show is different lifeforms that exist beyond our consciousness.

It is impossible for earth to be on the only planet amongst trillions of others to have some form of life on it.

It is our own lack of vision and understanding that limits us to this belief. For in fact, the universe is full of other life forms that have been living for millions of years.

Some are so highly advanced that they have powers to create whatever they wish. Some are beings similar to us but many are completely different.

Translucent as they have adapted to their various environments. Able to exist in atmospheres hostile to humans.

Not hindered by their beliefs and small thoughts of how their world is supposed to be. They don’t expect to find replicas of themselves in galaxies billions of miles away.

The universe is completely diverse in many different forms. Different beings, planets, different reasons for existing.

They can bend time and travel to make seemingly vast distances to be covered in a second rather than an entire lifetime.

But because all this exists outside of our vison and our reality, we cannot comprehend it. Species exist to thrive in the vast expanse of the universe.

Planet hopping for exploration and adventure. A normal activity possible for all but impossible for us to even comprehend.

Impossible for us to imagine. The key being we don’t understand how and because of this, we believe it is impossible.

If it can’t be explained or seen then it is not possible. This is how the human brain works.

So much so that your governments and many others create false and fake videos and information that everyone believes them endlessly.

Gullible by their own weakness of believing what they see in front of them is real but not believing what they don’t see in front of them but yet it is significantly more plausible and real.

This limiting way of humans is what keeps you small and attached to your home planet.

Curious about the universe but not fully engaged and open to new possibilities. Not fully committed to fully exploring other worlds.

So much so that rather than combing all their efforts between their countries, they compete against one another so limiting themselves.

Rather than operating as one for the greater good of all mankind, you limit yourselves subconsciously to make sure that new possibilities are out of your reach.

So limited that they can’t even be imagined let alone achieved.  So limited that we squabble amongst ourselves over small and petty situations that have been created out of fear created by the human mind.

Fear that is not real and yet unaware of a danger so vastly in comprehendible that we pretend it doesn’t exist.

The whole species is limited by your few leaders that take control and yet these leaders are limited by their own weakness, fear and self-limiting beliefs.

But you give them power and it is with this power that they bend others to their will.

They laugh as they take advantage of the masses of human population that are too self-limited to take action and fight back.

Instead, they forlornly hang their heads and accept their fate.

Knowing deep down, that their whole planet is being destroyed slowly but surely by these weak leaders and yet too weak themselves to do anything about it.

Too fearful of losing what little they have but unaware that they stand to lose it all instead.

It’s like fighting for a piece of bread and to ensure you have more bread than everyone else and yet the bread factory has already been shut down.

You see everything so small and only what is In front of you rather than seeing new possibilities and seeing the big picture.

The very big picture of the survival of the entire planet. The funniest thing to the species outside your planet, watching you intently, is how your leaders are aware of your impending doom.

And their answer is to find a way to profit from it. To give themselves even more money than they know what to do with.

More money than they could spend in 10 lifetimes. All for the sake of believing that money is the answer to all their problems.

But as we know and as I have told you, when enough is never enough then it comes from a limiting belief.

It is not fulfilling and it does not serve the rest of your species. It eats away at them, creates resentment and hate and anger.

All low vibrational energy that keeps you small and insignificant in the grand scheme of things. The time to take action was about a 100 years ago in your time.

Instead you sit there, waiting for some else to take action. And when they do, you ridicule them and shout at them that it is not possible.

You laugh at them unaware that the rest of the universe is laughing at you incredulously.

You have to expand your thinking and your minds and your imaginations to see what is really going on.

With this expansion and understanding and empathy and love will come solutions. And then, shedding your self-limiting beliefs and your fear of the unknown, you can take action.

For it is in this way, that these small steps can lead you to a whole different existence and truly start to tap into what is available to your species.

And most importantly, above all else, to save your planet and all life forms living on it from going extinct.

Fulfilment

Audio version – https://open.substack.com/pub/colindurrant/p/fulfilment

 

In the endless pursuit of happiness in our lives. We are often distracted but what we think will bring us happiness but actually brings the opposite.

For example, we believe that with lots of money, we can do anything we want, whenever we want.

And to a degree that is true if the system is set up correctly.

However, if we chase money in order to simply satisfy a belief system of ours then we have a very different experience.

If we go after what we would love in this world for the wrong reasons, then we don’t get happiness.

Fulfilment comes from doing what we love. No amount of money can buy fulfilment.

We can chase it. Sex, holidays, parties, travelling but none of this will bring true fulfilment because it is not in our truth.

What lies in our truth is those things that we love to do without conditions.

Things we would happily do for free rather than being paid for them.

Although, it is ideal to get paid for doing what you love doing. It is ideal to get abundance from doing what we love.

What I mean by doing what we love is perhaps helping people who are struggling in some form in their life.

Perhaps it is looking after animals. Or it could be teaching young children. It could be bringing medical aid to remote villages throughout the world.

It is different for each of us. There is no right or wrong answer. There is no judgement from others.

There is just doing what you love doing that brings you fulfilment.

Doing something that helps you thrive in this world and brings joy and happiness to others.

Doing something that serves your community. That helps raise the vibration and frequency of others.

Brings love to people who are struggling and suffering with their own demons.

Struggling with their mindset as they feel like a victim in their life. Its bringing hope to these people.

Its changing them for the better that makes a big difference. If we consider that we are all connected and some of us are in a dark place.

Then it brings down all of us as a whole.

The more joy, peace and fulfilment that we can bring to as many people as we can, the more it raises the vibration of the whole human species.

All of us benefit. All of feel a little better, a little more positive, a little more hopeful. The world becomes a little bit better to live in.

Dark Days

/0 Comments/in /by

As rain clouds sweep across the earth, bringing new life. There is an element of suffering because it is wet and dark and miserable.

But this is really a metaphor for life on earth. For after every dark thunderstorm, there is always light and bright sunshine afterwards.

However long it takes for it to shine through, it will always come. And in that new light and sunshine, there is hope.

The ground is wet, new shoots thirstily drink the life giving water and they spring into life.

A small mouse drinks greedily from the droplets of water on a big leaf.

While the thunderstorm was scary and even dangerous with falling debris in the high winds.

There is light and love coming afterwards. In the same way in your life.

No matter how dark and gloomy the days you are experiencing. It is always temporary.

There is always light and sunshine coming around the corner. So never despair on these dark days.

Do not sit in a low vibration of energy. Sulking and feeling sorry for yourself. Instead, focus on what the darkness and the storm is bringing to you and the world.

The new life that it creates. In those darkest days when you cannot face going on. Know that there is always hope.

Know that it is a game of patience. It is a game of the mind. For one day, there will only be light and no dark days.

And eventually, you will begin to miss the dark days. For you know that these dark days bring new life and hope.

When you are struggling with your thoughts, know that lighter days are always around the corner.

Be present and embrace whatever is given to you in this moment. Everything in life is a lesson, not a condemnation. Not a punishment.

And while you sit there wishing for lightness. Someone on the other side of your earth is wishing for darkness.

Dark and light are both needed. They are both necessary in life. They both stimulate growth.

They both have a lesson for you to make you grow stronger, more resilient and drive you towards being a higher self.

In an ever evolving process of growth and understanding and self-awareness.

From darkness comes light and from light comes darkness. They are both intertwined in an infinite cycle.

Like a river flowing down a mountain. Seemingly endless and constant.

Dominance

/0 Comments/in /by

There was a time, millions of years ago when earth was still evolving into a place that humans could one day be able to live.

That was very dangerous for all the creatures that lived in that time.

And yes, there was a species of human alive during those days as well.

Hiding and hunting the dinosaurs. But the biggest threat in those times was the instability of earth herself.

Her dramatic weather patterns and sudden changes in temperature. The volatility of thunderous storms and of course massive eruptions of deadly volcanos.

A world was slowly being created that would be more stable in the many years ahead.

You see, earth has always been a volatile place to live. And while in today’s time, things are a lot more stable, they are also forever changing.

This is down to the rapid expansion of the human population as well as the demise of many other species that kept the balance.

Everything is a finely tuned ecosystem. When one species begins to dominate and take over then every becomes out of balance.

Including the dominate species themselves. Things start to go wrong because there are so many of them.

They all fight for a rapidly dwindling space and resources. They squabble amongst themselves as they fight for dominance within their own species.

There is a turning point where the dominate species in any scenario begins to struggle themselves because they have become too dominate and because now the ecosystem is no longer in balance.

The dominate species begins to split into small sub sections and then these subsections fight for control and dominance over the others.

This continues for a long time. And now, instead of working with the power of many, their subsections fight against each other.

They do not strive to be better as a whole but just better than the other subsections.

And so this weakens them overall. They do not strive to be the best they can be, just slightly better than those next to them.

They do not strive to stand out and be the greatest , just slightly greater than those around them.

The key is that they do not thrive as they used to which made them dominate in the first place.

There is infighting and struggle. It is very difficult to stand out and be dominate with such vast numbers.

You can imagine, in Africa, if the lions outnumbered their prey. They would run out of food very quickly.

Perhaps they would start to find different food to eat but this would not make them as strong as it used to.

They would have to live in bigger groups which meant they would have to find more food.

They would not be unique anymore. They would fight amongst themselves as it is their nature to show who is the strongest.

The females only mate with the strongest, dominate males. This ensures the healthiest and strongest young to continue on the species.

If there is now too many males lions then none of them are dominate.

The females have to choose any male lion. And so gradually, the strong blood line that once existed slowly diminishes.

While, they still remain dominate due to their numbers, they are in reality becoming weaker.

They become lazy because others will bring the food into the pride so they don’t have to hunt as often.

The weak will get fed regardless. Worst of all, they get bored and so they have to find others ways to entertain themselves.

You see, the job of a lion is to protect its small pride. When it no longer needs protecting due to the large numbers of them, then he no longer has a purpose in life.

And so, he becomes weaker and wayward. He gets fat because he doesn’t have to run around and be strong anymore.

He slows down. He can barely do his other job and mate with the females. The females become disillusioned.

The big strong, dominate males that fought off all other contenders in order to mate with the females is a thing of the past.

Now she has to settle for any male lion. Weak, lazy and out of shape. Miserable because he has lost his purpose in life.

The point is that when a dominate species takes over. At some point there will be a big change.

They will become weaker as a species overall. Life will not be as it once was. The only way to make life exciting once more is to take control.

Individuals need to take control, get fit and strong and healthy once more. Go off by themselves and find their purpose.

Find excitement and joy and happiness. They will not find it living day to day amongst all the others.

There, they will just watch their life ebb away into nothingness. And when another species comes to take over their dominance, they will put up no resistance for they have grown weak, fat and disillusioned.

And suddenly, just as it was with the earth, millions of years ago. A big change happens and the dominate species vanishes without a trace.

What Choices Are You Making?

/0 Comments/in /by

There is a way of being that is available to all of us. However, we all choose our own way of being.

We can be a victim in this gift of life that is proffered to us. We can feel resentful, confused and unhappy.

Or we can recognise what a gift life really is and understand that it is a game to be played.

There is understanding and skill required in order to play this game. And yes, there is a time limit which is different for each of us.

In this game we play, it is important to learn the lessons as we move along so that we don’t repeat them.

Repeating mistakes and repeating patterns of self-destruction really is a massive waste of precious time.

You are responsible for yourself and how you play the game. You are not responsible for others and how they play.

You can teach them and guide them but you cannot do more than that. It is up to each individual to make their own choices and take their own actions.

I can tell you that there is a better way to play the game. That there is a lot more available to you than you can imagine.

And that there are forces in this world that are unseen and yet powerful beyond comprehension. It is not possible to be the only species and planet in a vast, limitless universe.

In fact, it is arrogant for humans to even believe this in the first place. Your ancients that used to dwell upon this earth many thousands of years ago.

Before the ice age. Had a lot more knowledge about their plant than you do now. You have withdrawn from your earth and her power and knowledge.

You seek distraction and you seek instant validation and wealth beyond anything than you could actually spend in ten lifetimes.

You become obsessed over small things which do not serve you.

You cause upset and unhappiness to those around you and when confronted, you become a victim of your own choices and decisions.

You do not take responsibility for these choices and decisions you make.

You struggle to say sorry. You struggle to raise your vibration to one of powerful love in the understanding that it changes everything around you.

For in this vibration of love, everything is ok. Like your Russian friends say about Vodka.

It is so easy and instant to access this power and change your state. In a low vibration, you are a victim of circumstance.

You dwell in your past memories and you torment yourself by your past decisions, actions and choices.

Remember that your past is complete. It is over. The only thing to take from your past is the lessons so that you can play the game better moving forwards.

Living in presence and in the moment is very empowering to humans.

For it is in this state that you are aware of what is going on. You are consciously making decisions about what to do next.

You may still choose to do nothing or to distract yourself with TV, drugs, alcohol and so on but it is a conscious choice and action.

As opposed to doing everything you can to not even think. To just act like a zombie moving through your life.

Squandering your gift of life and what is available to you. Remember, every single one of you has a genius.

A skill you were sent to earth to serve humanity with. A gift that you will do good for others and in return receive abundance of love, gratitude, money, joy and happiness.

In seeking out this genius of yours, you will lead a more fulfilling live. There is no better feeling than being fulfilled.

All the money in the world will not bring you fulfilment. Creating a life you love will.

Doing things you love to do which do not harm others but brings them joy.

Doing things you love that do not have conditions attached to them. They come from a pure place.

Not from a place of seeking validation for example. Make conscious choices and take action on doing things you love doing.

Build or repair something with your hands rather than binge watching a TV show.

You will never be fulfilled because you watched TV all weekend.

Look after your house and take responsibility for your health.

All these little things make a difference to living a life that fulfils you.

War

/0 Comments/in /by

In yesteryear there was a time when all men had to go to war. They did not understand why they had to go to war apart from they were tricked into believing that they were saving their country.

They had the opportunity to become heroes and would be worshipped by their country for the rest of their lives.

They would be treated like kings and want for nothing. The reality was, they were more likely to be sent to their deaths.

And for some, that was better than when they came back injured and broken.

They were not treated as heroes or kings as they were promised. But they were abandoned and rejected.

They were looked upon disdainfully for the atrocities they were made to cause in another part of the world.

They had killed innocent citizens. Apparently, they had murdered women and children.

No, they did not get what they were promised. They were indeed just pawns for a rich man’s game of power and wealth.

Indeed, in some instances, they were sent to fight and die for many years in a foreign country and then in a blink of an eye, everything went back to as it was as if it had never happened.

Leaving behind death, destruction and trauma. The rich and powerful men had finished their game of truth and dare.

Maybe they had won or maybe they had lost. But all wars could have been prevented by the swift death of a single man.

For it is a single man that begins the path of war. It is his own ego and shadow monster that fights within him.

It is by losing the battle within himself that causes external war and destruction and a low vibration of energy that spreads throughout the world.

It is a single man that causes immense pain and suffering because another man or women will not stand up to him and give him love.

It is for when he operates from this lack of love, that hate and anger wins the day and the rest creates a terrible history for mankind.

We choose to be inspired by the wrong humans who are coming from an impure place.

They are coming from a place of pain and suffering in their own life which they wish to project on to others.

This is why it is so important to be aware of your own vibration of energy in this moment right now.

For when you are in a low vibration, you create nothing but pain and misery.

When you are in a high vibration and fueled by love then you create magic all around you.

You create happiness and joy and success and fulfilment. You all have a choice in any moment how you react to life around you.

How you react to curved balls thrown your way. And above all, it is you who needs to take responsibility for your own actions and reactions.

It is also important to see the consequences of not taking any action at all.

And when one man or women is allowed to be ruled by their shadow monster and no one around them does nothing to help or does not change that person’s vibration by sending them love.

Then a war begins and the consequences are far reaching and devastating also because one simple action was not taken in the beginning.

Imagine in this moment right now, what small action you are not taking in your own life and what far reaching consequences this is likely to cause for you and others around you.

Everything is a choice and sometimes it takes sacrifice in keep the peace and to create love in a world that can be turned so quickly and easily to a dark place.

Love and hate are on a knife edge, either can win at any moment. It takes will and your own power to choose which shall win in the moment.

Creating your own reality

/0 Comments/in /by

There was a man once, who thought he was the dogs bollocks of the village. He thought he was practically God.

He thought all the women wanted to sleep with him because he was the only one who could truly satisfy them.

Their husbands where weak and feeble. He felt he should be the leader of the village and that everyone else should worship him and tell him how great he is.

But he was not that great. In fact, he was disfigured and quite ugly.

But in order to combat his reality, he create the illusion for himself that he was the man of the village.

Even though none of the women wanted him at all, in his mind he created that they all loved and wanted him between their legs.

He created the illusion that all the other men were jealous of him. They wanted to be him.

They wanted his strength and good looks. They wanted his confidence.

They would all speak about how great he was behind his back when they went drinking.

And by creating this illusion for himself, he was happy and content. He went about his daily business with a happy smile and joy in his heart.

He was always cheerful to others when he saw them in the street.

Everyone met his enthusiasm as they felt sorry for him that he was so disfigured and ugly.

But, by creating this illusion for himself, the man had created happiness and he spread this joy and happiness with all the others that he came into contact with.

The village began to realise that here was a man who was nothing to look at but actually, he was very happy.

They realised that often they were not happy but they did not have the same excuses as this man.

They were not ugly, they had a beautiful wife or handsome husband and children.

They had the gift of life. They began to realise how this man, when they met him in the street would uplift them instantly with his smile and love.

They appreciated him. And they began to realise that they did not feel sorry for him at all.

They were almost jealous of him because he was always happy regardless of his circumstances.

They began to love him and respect him. And soon, they did not see his disfigurement but they just saw his love of life.

And in this way, the man’s illusion that he had created for himself became reality.

He did find a woman who loved him for his soul and not his looks. He did have beautiful children and a happy, loving family.

The man had been tormented as a young boy for his looks but he had created a different reality for himself and that reality came to bare.

He was fully accepted into the village, he spread joy and happiness and love to everyone he met.

He did become the dogs bollocks of the village and while all the women may not quite have desired him as much as he imagined, they did love his company and the way he made them feel.

So, the lesson is, create whatever beautiful life you would love for yourself. You have the power to make it real.
