Everything is energy

Something that I wish to share with you today relates to the fact that everything is made up of energy. Energy is endless and will never die. It constantly transfers between different hosts as one host dies, a new one is created and birthed.

This relates to everything in the universe. Stars, planets, solar systems, suns are all born out of energy. This energy is the lifeblood of the whole universe and everything that lives within.

It is one of the laws of the universe. Here on earth, the same process is constantly in play. An embryo is formed and created from its mother’s energy.

It creates a new human being. Exactly the same process happens with all animals and indeed in insects and snakes and fish and plants and trees.

Everything is formed out of energy. This energy gives life to its host. When the host can no longer sustain it for whatever reason, old age, under nourished, accident etc, then the energy leaves the host and moves on and creates a new host to live in and give life to, leaving its former host in a lifeless state.

This energy is limitless and we understand by now that the universe is limitless by its nature. And so, we can be safe and comforted by the knowledge that when a loved one dies their energy has simply moved on to another host which it will give life to.

This energy will be timeless and endless as it repeats this cycle again and again. This is happening throughout the universe, constantly.

Trees die and a new one takes its place. Plants die and return to the soil from whence they came but a new plant is formed from the energy of the original plant.

Everything on earth and within the universe is in constant flow and rebirth. Endlessly and timelessly. This is the basic premises of an ecosystem, constantly feeding itself and rebirthing it’s energy to create new life.

So do not be disheartened when a close, loved one dies for the reality is, they simply cannot die. They may no longer exist in your immediate reality but they are still around, just in a different host, in a different place, living and loving and full of energy.

Climate Change

In the ancient times the climate was ever changing, to the point that mankind often lived in fear. They assumed that crazy weather like high winds or torrential rain, lightning and thunder was all related to the Gods and that they must be angry.

They would often build temples to worship the Gods and pray for good weather. They would also do many sacrifices of animals and even people in order to try and appease the Gods.

The reality was firstly, that a very dynamic climate was normal in those times. In fact, in today’s world, the climate is very dynamic and changeable however, it doesn’t affect us as much as it used to because we have strong houses that can withstand most weather types.

When we do have extreme weather, we once again assume that we have done something wrong. The reality is, this ever changing climate is a natural part of the earth we live on.

As humans, we think in very short time frames. In fact, almost down to months or a year. The reality is, that the earth is billions of years old and has evolved during this time in many different ways, both in the climate, the landscape and the animals and other various organisms that live here.

These shifts in weather and landscapes all happen over many hundreds and thousands of years. We may think that two weeks of rain and some flooding is really terrible but can you imagine that the ice age lasted for over 600 years.

About ten thousand years ago we had a 1000 years of heavy rainfall. As humans, we are constantly thinking small and short term.

If you ever look up at the sky when there is no light pollution, you will see the billions of stars in the night sky. They are literally impossible to count because they are limitless.

Limitlessness is the true nature of the earth and the universe. If we can think like the universe as we were intended to then we will discover that our imaginations are limitless.

We can have everything in limitless if we allow ourselves to think this way. Limitless resources in many different forms, especially love.

Can you imagine for a moment if you simply allowed yourself to feel love for everything around you. People, insects, the grass, the trees, water, animals, shrubs, the list is endless and limitless.

Try this out and feel how love is the human super power and embrace this gift you have been given. This exercise expands your heart exponentially. It allows you to receive more love than ever before. It allows your heart to heal your physical body.

It changes your vibration and frequency at which you operate. It makes it incredibly positive and light and playful and fun. You appreciate everything around you.

You appreciate the limitless abundance of nature. You look around and see some trees, and then you notice the leaves, you see some squirrels playing in the branches, you see some ivy wrapped around the tree.

You continue to look and notice the smaller trees, growing slowly over many years until they are big and strong like the trees they are growing right next to.

A bird flies overhead. Beautiful and strong, flapping its powerful wings in the wind. Imagine if you could fly, what would you see, where would you go, how would it feel.

What would you love to do first. Limitless is part of our human nature but we are conditioned to think small, to think only of our immediate surroundings, to not allow ourselves to see the big picture.

We don’t allow ourselves to love everything or let our imagination run unchecked. Imagine being able to fly through space and travel to different solar systems and planets.

What would you see. When you come across another earth, just like ours, what will it look like. What will the humans living there look like.

Will they be exactly the same as us. Will they be more or less advanced in their civilisations. What types of animals will live there. As you read this, just get the sense of limitless and how it can effect everything around you and change your perspective.

What would you create in your life if your options were limitless. Would you find yourself getting scared and stopping or would you really go for it and fully allow your imagination to have no limits.

Try this now and write down what you would create for yourself.

Limitless World

In a limitless world, there would be an abundance of food, trees, animals, water and other resources. The truth is, this is exactly how the world was many thousands of years ago.
Everything was limitless. You could walk over the mountains and the plains endlessly. When you came across the ocean, it would stretch endlessly into the horizon.
A range of mountains like the Andes or the Alps would appear to be endless. You would come across a herd of wildebeest, a million strong that would cover the whole plain and it would appear limitless.
This was actually the reality of early man. All the man made technology we have created as a species has actually had the opposite effect, it has created limits for us.
We have built roads so that we can travel quickly across vast distances. Built aeroplanes which have allowed us to travel to the other side of the world in only a few hours. The reality is, this has made our world very small and limited.
It may be great that we can travel to all these amazing places but the reality is, it goes against the laws of nature. By making everything smaller, it has changed our mindsets.
Suddenly, the world is not limitless anymore because we can fly all the way around it in a day or so. The country we live in is not limitless anymore because we can travel in a car from one side to the other in a handful of hours.
The question is, did we expand our thinking and our imaginations to make all of this travel possible or did it cause us to retract and think of how small the world is that we can travel around the whole thing in a day.
In a limitless world we can walk endlessly, we can sail and swim endlessly. By being desperate to reach the edge of the world, we ended up making it smaller.
This has shrunk our brains to the point that if it is easy to fly or drive anywhere we want, then there is always an end. And yet, when we look up into the night sky and see all the stars and plants, there is no end.
There is no edge of the universe. And so this gives us the perspective that we can have everything in abundance because it will never run out.
We had limitless tress in which to build our houses and our fires. There were limitless animals to hunt and fish to catch. But human technology and greed actually reversed this natural way of how things are meant to be.
Not satisfied with having everything in abundance, humans saw it more of a challenge to see what lay at the edge of the world, to build machines that could cut down all the trees, kill all the animals, catch all the fish.
Now, satisfied with his achievement of proving that limitless no longer exists, he has destroyed his world and he complains. He complains because he lacks many things.
Having broken the laws of nature and the ecosystem, his mind shrinks, he puts limits on everything, he loses his sense of fun and excitement and wonder and he suffers.
Ironically he discovers his capacity to endlessly suffer and complain throughout his limited lifetime. Unable to appreciate the beauty of nature around him, he has to create distractions, TV, phones, apps, games, drugs, alcohol, practically endless distractions, all keeping him small and confined.
We admire what we have created and the amazing technology we have but the truth is it works against our human nature. It has not created a better life for us, it has defied our human nature and created zombies.
We need to find our love of nature once more and appreciate it’s beauty. Appreciate its limitless and allow our world to become limitless once more, even if it is only in our thinking to begin with. This is our natural state.
This is how we thrive and get the best human experience. We live off what the earth has to offer us, taking just what we need and no more.
Have we have come too far to turn back and so what does our future hold, considering that we have reversed how the world is meant to be.
We can individually find that limitless once more, go into nature and appreciate her beauty. Even her danger. And we can focus on loving and appreciating everything around us.

Our Connection to Nature

Our connection to nature is food for our soul. It connects us back to the earth. We may have moved into comfortable houses with everything on tap but the reality is we have not really evolved hugely from beings that once lived and thrived in the forests and wilderness.

This is where we came from, this is what gives us a deep connection, it opens our hearts and helps us feel love in many different forms. It gives us peace and tranquility. It makes us feel fulfilled.

No man-made building can give us this feeling. We are at our most natural when we are in the wild. Embracing our true nature and our ancestors.

Embracing where we came from. We can imagine sitting in the middle of nowhere around a camp fire with close friends and family.

No need for TV or phones or even books. For when we are in nature, we not do not yearn for distraction for there is so much going on around us.

There is so much life when we are out in nature, there is so much to see and feel and hear. We can use our imaginations to imagine the fish swimming in the lake looking for food, the ducks and swans swimming around, interacting with each other.

Looking out for danger, looking for food and looking after one another. We can feel the ecosystem in full swing. Everything working together.

The trees growing tall and strong, the bushes and shrubs holding the soil together. Getting and giving nutrients and life to other plants and insects and animals all around it. Everything working in harmony.

Everything working as intended. This is our real environment where we thrive and feel connected and feel love for the earth. It is how we ground ourselves once more after living our busy lives in towns and cities.

With so much to do and so much to focus on, most of which is actually meaningless and simply trying to meet our unresolved needs.

Trying to survive instead of thrive. Come back to nature with me and get grounded and embrace that feeling of being fully submerged in nature once more where you have nothing to worry about but your immediate surroundings.

Where your only job is to simply notice what is going on around you and feel that natural connection you have with the earth.

This gives you the space to think and to build a vision of what you will truly love to create in your life for the next 6 or 12 months.

Ancient Society’s

In ancient times, the people in power were always rotated. They would only be in power for about one calendar year and then they would go back to their old life.

Being a leader was an act of service. It was a job to lead your tribe or your people and guide them and look after their welfare. To make sure everyone was fed and make sure there was progress with the village or town itself.

Like building better roads and better buildings. Buildings were maintained and improved all the time. Living at one with nature and maintaining the ecosystem around them.

There were also strict laws around controlled people who sinned against the tribe. The punishment was always exile. Once someone killed another person or even a sacred animal (because animals and humans are equal and have the same rights to live) then they forfeit their right to live.

It is still up to the leader at the time as to what to do with them. They may have executed in extreme circumstances but mostly they would have exiled them from the village or town.

In these ancient times, it was very dangerous to live outside the protection of the village and so only the very strongest and clever could survive on their own.

If they could prove that they had changed, one year from being ousted then they would be allowed back in. They would have to serve their community for another year to prove their commitment to being a food fellow citizen and abiding by the laws that made the village successful and created a safe and abundant place for everyone who lived there.

Often, when someone was exiled, they would leave gifts of food and building materials at the village gates to prove themselves worthy.

They had to show remorse and a willing to serve others if they wish to be let back into the society. If they could even survive in the dangerous environment outside.

There were many large predators that were always looking for a meal. Anyone on the outside would have to have very acute survival skills and be able to hunt and forage for themselves as well as find water and build fire.

These skills were taught to everyone but not everyone became a survival expert simply because they had the knowledge. And so it is today, we may be taught a lot of things but it does not make us an expert or even mean that we fully understand what we are being taught.

One thing to note is that when we have the knowledge and understanding but do not use it, then that in itself is a crime against the village.

To be a genius but to deny your village your gifts and talents was heresy. To deny this God given skills and talents was to deny God and to deny serving your fellow people at your highest self.

People would be exiled for different periods of time but if they showed love and compassion, it would be shown back to them. The door was always open but there had to be a willingness from the person to show that they had changed.

While there was a leader of the village that changed every year, there were also the elders who had the skills and experience of what they had learnt throughout their lives to share with the village. They would guide and mentor the leader if necessary and when she required it.

The leader was always a woman because the men had other more physical jobs to do like hunting and protecting the village. Women were seen as the givers of life and love.

Their role was to bear children and nurse and educate them in the ways of the village. Everyone was equal, even the leader or elders were not beyond reproach or punishment.

Any punishment was carried out with compassion and understanding that mistakes happen. Understanding that we are effected by events in our lives that may mean we act a certain way that is not helpful.

The first action to any crime committed was understanding and compassion and education. It was only if this didn’t have any effect that more drastic action was taken like exile.

Some boys (especially) needed this in order to grow up and learn to be a man and take responsibility for their life. It was this way of being that made society’s work well in the ancient times.

It is only when these society’s would break down due to greed of power and other resources by the few that everything started to go wrong.

When there was no discipline and a disregard for the laws. When people closed their hearts and instead chose to be jealous and hateful then things would not work.

And it is in this type of society that we now find ourselves. We need to find a way to return to the ancient ways that worked very successfully.

A continual change in leadership, a dedication to serving one another, an understanding of equality amongst all of us living together.

And dedication to maintaining the ecosystem around us so that we may all thrive together today and in the future.

How to deal with adversity

What I would love to talk to you today is about how your ancient ancestors dealt with adversity. In these times, many thousands of years ago, they did not have the luxury of sitting around and complaining about their hard life or what they were missing or a family member that had been savagely killed by a sabre tooth tiger.

There was no time to sit around for a start and secondly, while they were sitting in their victim mode, feeling sorry for themselves and complaining about this and that, they would be savagely killed by another large predator who would make them their dinner.

You had to be sharp and you had to really want to survive in the ancient world for there was danger all around you. However, this was not all bad, for those that wanted to survive, thrived in this environment. They understood that they just had to get on with it.

They learnt from any mistakes (if they didn’t kill them) and did things differently next time. They had a deep connection to their surroundings and to nature and to the earth. They even had a deep connection to all animals so that when their senses were heightened, they could easily sense danger coming.

If they were not focused and feeling sorry for themselves, then it would not be long before they became food for a predator. In the world we live in today, there are still many dangers out there but most of the time, we are relaxed and not paying attention.

You may fall for a scam or have a car accident because you’re not paying attention or something much worse may happen. This all comes down to paying attention and being aware of what is going on around you and being responsible for yourself and for your family.

When we relinquish this responsibility and make it someone else’s problem or we sit there complaining about anything and everything, then bad things are likely to happen. You are responsible for yourself and for your family members. Do not be a victim, ever.

You can be a target but never a victim. Embrace the beauty around you, be aware of love and danger. Choose only important things to focus on. Don’t focus and worry about things that you cannot change, it will suck your energy and put you in victim mode where things happen to you.

Be a creator where you specifically go after things that you would love in your life. Don’t get distracted by the news and media talking about things that are firstly probably false and secondly you can’t change. You have a responsibility to your immediate circle.

Put your focus on them and on yourself. Be responsible for your own health and wealth. Take action towards what you would love. Use your energy and time wisely. They are limitless when used in the right way but both disappear very quickly when wasted.

Don’t waste your gifts and talents. Bring them to the world as intended and create abundance for yourself by serving the world. Be the genius you were born to be and create a magical life for you and your family.

Focus on your end result

Every day is full of little struggles and hiccups but the little wins you get along the way bring joy and pleasure. Keep your focus on these little wins and keep your focus on making those wins happen.

Those little wins are your end result. Have a clear expectation of your end result and what you want to achieve. When you hit a hurdle or a problem, don’t forget to maintain your focus on the end result and do not lose hope.

Do not give your subconscious the wrong message that your end result doesn’t matter anymore and you’d rather just turn into a victim and complain about not getting what you want.

Magicians know that even when faced with the biggest mountains in the way of their end result that they have the power to practically manifest their end result.

The how doesn’t matter, what matters is that you don’t give up. You sit with the tension and know, deep down that you will achieve your end result regardless of your circumstances.

When you achieve your end result and get what you want, it will give you confidence to practice this the next time you come across a problem or a mountain in your way.

Maintain your focus, don’t deviate and imagine that you already have what you want. It is just a matter of time catching up and you getting what your heart desires.

New Year?

What has changed today, compared to yesterday apart from a bunch of manmade numbers. You know you have the power to make any change you would love to in a heartbeat.

You do not have to wait for a day or month or year to change. These are just manmade measurements of time. Notice how quickly you forget what day it is when you are on holiday?

It’s because the day is largely irrelevant, apart from leaving day and going back to your old life. At no point does time ever stand still and wait for the new year to arrive so that you can begin doing whatever it is you have decided you should do or would love to do.

Day and night is relentless as it moves onwards and you lose time waiting for the perfect moment to start. The perfect time to start is always right now, not when everything is perfect, not on the first of the month or the first day of the new year.

As soon as you wait for the perfect time or perfect date, you have told your subconscious that you are not serious, you are happy to wait because it is not actually that important to you.

If it was important, you’d already be doing it. It is important to give your subconscious the right message. This is important to me, I want to focus on this and achieve it and so let’s start right now.

Be aware of when your ego wishes to make conditions perfect before you start because this is self-sabotage. Remember as well to make anything you wish to do, easy and playful and joyful.

One of the rules of the universe is that it wants you to thrive and have a great human experience. If you get too serious and whatever it is you’d love to create in your life becomes a burden to you, then you are unlikely to follow through on it.

Enjoy whatever it is you wish to create in your life. Be playful and be aware of when you become serious and put pressure on yourself. Remember, magical creations that come from the heart are just that.

Magical creations and they have no conditions attached to them. For example, if you write a book because it is what your heart would love to create then that is the creation. The creation is not having millions of people buying your book, that is a different creation.

The problem comes when you seek validation or acknowledgement from whatever it is you have created. Then it doesn’t come from a pure place and so, it will generally not work out. Just listen and follow what your heart would love to create for you and keep it simple and pure. No conditions.

Do things for the love of doing them, not because you feel you have to. If you have this feeling of having to do something then it becomes heavy and it is not joyful or fun or from a pure place.

Create a vision for yourself of what you would love to create in your life and then put all your focus and energy into creating that. Do not get sucked into distractions.

Give your subconscious the right messages and don’t fall foul of believing you’re not good enough, or the time isn’t perfect or you are not perfect.

Everything is perfect, the universe is simply waiting for you to take action and lead a more fulfilled life that you deserve.
