The Wise Man and his Pack of Wolves

In the beginning of an endless time on earth, there was a wise man who lived alone in a cave upon a great mountain. He was not totally alone as he had a few outcast wolves that lived with him.
They would hunt together and look after each as one pack. Their bond was pure love. It was not based on who brought the most food or who provided the most warmth at night.
While it was nice, that the wise man could create a fire at night, it was not the reason the wolves stayed. They stayed because they were better together as a pack.
They were happy and content. They served each other and protected each other. They wanted no more than to have what they had. On occasion over the years, one of their pack would pass away.
Either from age or injury while out hunting. While it was sad to lose one of their pack and a loved one, they knew that their companion would either be reborn or would become a star in the night sky and watch over them for the rest of their days.
Other outcast wolves would join their pack. They would quickly understand how the pack worked. They would raise their vibration to unconditional love. They did not act like victims because they had been outcast of their pack.
They realised that everything happens for a reason and now the pack they belonged to was even better than before. They knew that they were loved unconditionally.
They knew they would be fulfilled by serving the rest of the pack members. They saw the wise man as their guardian. He would talk to them every night around the fire and tell them many stories.
He would teach them a new way of being.
To be creators of their lives and never to be a victim. To enjoy the beauty of nature. Enjoy the power of the stillness in nature. To understand that there was nowhere they had to be, nothing they had to do but to thrive and to love one another.
One day they knew their wise old friend would too pass away. But they knew he would be reborn or become a star in the night sky and watch over them.
Perhaps another wise man would join them. They loved their life. It was simply but fulfilling. It was still hard work to find and hunt down food to feed the whole pack but there was joy in the task when it served everyone.
For everyone was grateful for one another. It was a choice to stay every day. They would not corrupt one another but supported each other to each live in their highest self and in their power and genius.
There was no better feeling to love, be loved and live and operate at their highest self. The wise man and his wolves were to be an example to mankind of how to live and thrive.
But man was not interested in this way of life. He wanted for so much, he wanted for more than his brother. He wanted to be the over powering leader.
He wanted to seek to have his beliefs validated. He discovered that he could not love or feel love for he was so caught up in his distractions from life.
He did not see or appreciate nature and her beauty. Did not see the value and power in her stillness. And so man, following his own path began to suffer and cause suffering.
He was not content or fulfilled but he just pushed harder to try and get what he thought he wanted but was unattainable. And so there was misery and suffering.
There was chasing of great wealth to buy more distractions and fake happiness. Mankind missed everything. He was inconsolable when one of his own past away.
He would question everything at this point and lose his way. This would cause more suffering and pain. And so, this is how man choose to live. And choose to ignore the beautiful wisdom and story of the wise man and his pack of wolves.

Stop and Give Yourself Space

Change can only happen when there is space for it. It needs space to breathe and see the future. It needs the space to see how and what to change for the better. It needs the space to grow and improve.

While you are pushing yourself, day in and day out, nothing can change or grow. You may think that you are. You must be because you are working so hard but the reality is, you are not. You are simply stuck on the hamster wheel, running and running. Working and working but not actually making true progress.


You may, if you are lucky, get more financial reward but you won’t be getting any spiritual reward.

Your heart will not be expanding. You will not be growing as a human. The money reward will simply keep you distracted and on the wrong path.

You will see all the pointless toys that you can buy and you will think that everything is amazing. Yes, you will receive pleasure but it is all egotistical.

It is fake and distractive from your true purpose here on earth. Give yourself the space to breathe, to think, to feel alive, to appreciate beauty around you.

Give yourself the space to love. Imagine what you would love to do. And go forth towards the unknown, the path that has not been travelled for this is where the treasure lies.

There is no treasure on the well-trodden path for everyone has already collected it well before you. Head for the unknown. Head into the wild and just be.

Nothing to do, nowhere to be, just be present and enjoy the moment. Raise your frequency by sending out love to everyone you can think of.

Imagine yourself glowing like a bright star in the night sky. Now, what would you love. Finally, stay focused and take action. Do not live in distraction.

There is always action to take. There is always something positive to do to drive yourself forward, easily and playfully.

Are you running from your thoughts?

As you lie in bed, awake, your mind racing. What thoughts are you having. What are you thinking about apart from everything? Do your thoughts bring you pain or do you love them.

Do you wake up in the middle of the night, normally 3am and then struggle to get back to sleep. Do your thoughts scare you? Do you find ways to distract yourself in order to stop yourself thinking.

This may be alcohol, watching TV, music, reading and so on. I spent my life using exercise. I would train as hard as I could to wear myself out for then, I was too tired to think. I was calm and relaxed.

However, this meant I over trained a lot. It also hindered my athletic career for it was not about winning but more about making myself tired. It was also about punishing myself rather than trying to win races.

I could actually push myself harder than most but I wasn’t rested or fresh enough to actually perform. I remember doing a triathlon once when I was 19 years old.

I had a terrible race, came about 5th where I would normally win my age group. I actually thought I was too old. The reality was that I was exhausted.

When I was forced to rest, my resting heart rate dropped significantly because I wasn’t over fatigued and I actually got fitter by resting. However, my brain would start up again.

I did not like my brain or my thoughts that plagued me. However, through the work I have done in the last few years, I am no longer scared of my thoughts.

In fact, I embrace them, I want my thoughts to hit me with whatever they have got, the worst memories for now I can handle them. I know that can deal with them. That is very empowering and liberating.

I still love training hard but I love doing it for the right reasons. I don’t do it to simply wear myself out. I monitor all my data carefully and rest when things aren’t looking so great.

I have some rest coming up, my Garmin watch told me to rest for 40 hours after my session this evening. I still do lots of low intensity walking.

Movement is so critical for being healthy and actually helps you recover a lot quicker than sitting on the sofa. And I get to see beautiful sunrises and sunsets. It is powerful to understand why you do certain things, like working very long hours.

If you are doing it to support your compensating tendencies then it is not healthy. You can actually still do the same activity but do it for the right reasons .

Do it because you love doing it, not because you are running away from something or trying to distract yourself. Live in the moment, for it is all we really have.

Your Higher Self

As you sit and ponder my writing. How does it make you feel. Does it ever make you sad or happy or determined to understand the lesson and change your way of being.

Do you see a path for yourself evolving to live your higher self. Do you feel you have found your purpose in this world or are you still searching.

Do you believe that you have a purpose or do you think that things just are as they are meant to be. What have you created in your life that you are the most proud of.

What would you, bringing to the fore your absolute wildest imagination, love to create in your future. As in the next 6 months, not years but soon.

A lot of the things we do as a child, we forget as we grow up. But those things we did as a child were a lot closer to our true purpose and genius than you realise.

I used to write short stories and I loved it. I loved reading Wilbur Smith and I wanted to write but I never did. And now, many years later, I am writing every day. I have a few books published.

The point is, is there something you loved doing as a child that you would love to do again. What’s holding you back. We all have the same amount of time given to us every day and we choose what we do with it.

Sure, there are things we need to do but there are a lot of things we do which are simply distractions that eat up our time that we could use for doing something significantly more fulfilling.

Something that our heart would love rather than binge watching TV or going to the pub or whatever else it is you love to distract yourself with.

Yes, we get pleasure from these distractions but they do not fulfil us. They are not the reason why we were put on this earth. Imagine for a moment, if you were a caveman or women, living thousands of years ago in our ancient history.

What would you be doing right now? What would you want to do during the day? What would you be thinking about. Remember, we came into this world as people living in nature and harnessing its power and love and energy.

This is our natural state. We may have evolved into living in warm, comfortable houses, surrounded by lots of material items that we think we love.

That we buy to try and make ourselves feel better about ourselves. But we never really lose our connection to our ancient ancestors and to nature and the stars.

We lose the awareness but if we really want it, it is easy to reconnect and raise our awareness once more. Can you imagine how much time you would have on your hands if you lived as a caveman or women.

Distractions did not exist. We had to be present to stay alive. Imagine just for a moment what this would feel like. Now imagine, in this state of mind, what you would truly love to create in your life.

If there were no limits, no beliefs that you’re not worthy or good enough, no limits on money or other resources, what would you create?

What love can do for you

The power of love is immeasurable. It is healing of the physical and spiritual body. It raises your vibration to a level way beyond any other vibration.

When you are in the vibration of love. Everything is easy, you have no enemies, hate does not exist. There is just unconditional love. This means that you send out love to all around you without any expectation of getting anything in return.

The point is not to receive but simply to give. However, by giving you do receive back. It quietens the mind from any negativity especially negative self-talk.

You imagine, that you are shining like a bright star in the night sky. Your glow can be seen for millions of light years away. And in this glow, this powerful light that emits from your whole body, the is simply no room for anything dark.

Simply by imaging this will raise your vibration and change your state. And in this natural state, everything is perfect as you fly way above any meaningless problems that you perceive you have in your life.

Most importantly, when you operate from this vibration of intense, unconditional love, you operate from your genius. You operate at your highest self.

Again, this means that whatever you set your focus to, you will achieve. It could be a project at home or a project at work or it could be exercising.

It could be speaking on a stage. Imagine being at your highest self, sending love out to everyone in your audience, how incredible your message will be when you are in this state.

In your absolute power, in your truth and authentic self. Everyone will resonate with whatever you have to say, they will hang on your every word and be left wanting more.

They will be insatiable for your message. They will be drawn to your energy but have no idea why. There will just be something about you.

They will not be aware that you are in this state of your highest self and subconsciously sending them love. But they will feel amazing in your company.

They will yearn to hear what you have to say and quite frankly, they will buy anything you are selling. As long as you are living in your truth and being authentic, then you can achieve anything your heart desires.

This is so easy to try, it is simply a case of imagining it. Try it now and see what difference it makes when you interact with other people.

Your Shadow Monster

In the shadow of the moonlight and a cloudless night, there lies in waiting a monster of disproportionate size. It lurks in the shadows always, never to be seen in the light of the day.

It hides and yet is ever present. Even in the bright sunshine of a summers day, it is there, hiding in the shadows. It is cunning and smart. It is deceptive. It speaks softly, coaxing, teasing, gentle and yet devious and dark.

It conspires to cause chaos and self-sabotage. It seeks incidents and events to cause outrage and anger and fear. It seeks to cause distraction and tear away it’s owner from their goals and ambitions and purpose.

It seeks to burst forth in a rage of unimaginable force from within it’s owners own body. Taking everyone off guard, shouting with rage, dribbling with delight at its victory for causing harm and distraction.

This shadow monster lives within all of us. Lurking and waiting for an opportunity to strike. It waits for the perfect time to deliver its poisonous message.

To invoke a violent outburst before rational thought can take control once more and return to normality and serene and calmness.

If the owner is unlucky, the outburst will continue, the rage increase 100 fold, the ensuing chaos disastrous. The life ruined, the life trajectory altered, the shadow deliriously delighted with its victory, its owner in ruins.

Beware of the shadow monster. Engage thought before action. Engage calmness, peace and empathy before reaction. Do not give the shadow monster any power for he will run away with it like a hyena, running and laughing with its prize of a piece of meat.

Beware of your shadow monster who seeks to keep you distracted with anything it can, alcohol, porn, food, TV and so on. For when you are distracted, you are not living in your truth, you are not living your purpose, you are not living in your highest self, you are not in your genius.

You are barely alive, suffering, struggling, trying to cope, trying to be brave and yet weak and powerless. Overcome by the power of your shadow monster.

Be aware, see him lurking in the shadows of your mind and go the other way. Go towards your higher self, raise your vibration, fly above him and all his distraction techniques. Be the powerful creator you are and go after what you love.

The Goat

The message today is all about how you treat others. Remember, the point of being alive is to thrive and to do no harm to others. This means all living creatures, not just other humans.

If your business is to harm others and exploit them then you will pay the consequences in this life or the next. Human beings have the so called gift of being able to justify to themselves any action they feel they need to take.

A lot of humans feel their responsibility is to look after their family by any means necessary. This is not the case. You are responsible to not condemn others or prevent other from thriving.

Everyone is responsible for how they treat others. This does not mean you have to actively rescue and save everyone but it does mean you cannot take from one family to feed yours and think that is justifiable.

All creatures on earth have a right to life and a right to thrive and be happy. If you prevent this, then you will be punished at some point.

You may be the owner of a multimillion dollar company that uses your laws to systematically take advantage of vulnerable people and essentially, legally steal from them.

You may run a drugs company that gets people addicted to your drugs or forces them to spend vast amounts of money for a simple drug which keeps them out of immense pain and suffering or may even save their life.

Supply and demand is not a universal law. It is a man made one designed to exploit fellow human beings. It does not come from love, it comes from a deep and dark place.

Perhaps you will be reborn as a goat and be living in a harsh desert where you have to look all day for any tiny bit of food in oppressive heat and freezing cold nights.

The goat will just know his new reality. He will live and survive but it will not be a fun existence. He will eventually gain the awareness of his crimes in a previous life and then he will understand that this is why he is being punished for the duration of a whole other life as a goat.

So be aware of how you are and how you are being. Your crimes will always catch up to you at some point and then you will be trapped in eternity.

The punishment will feel a hundred fold compared to those that you harmed during your human life. Remember that the need to be successful above all else and at the expense of others does not come from a pure place of wanting to thrive and have abundance of many different resources in your life.

It comes from a place of trying to meet your dysfunctions and belief systems. If you do not feel good enough then you feel that you need to work hard and find a way by any means necessary in order to be successful.

Perhaps you were not validated as a young child and so you seek validation by having lots of money and being successful. But you are chasing an impossible dream for enough is never enough. That is the clue that what you are chasing will never fulfil you.

It will never make you happy and joyful. It may please you to buy a fancy sports car but it will never make you feel fulfilled and there will always be a better sports car you will want to buy.

The need can never be met. You will chase it for a life time causing much collateral damage to others in the process. And then, you will be reborn as a goat in a desert.

And with the way the human species is currently treating their fellow humans, the desert will be overrun with goats and there will be even less food and more suffering.

Past & Present Man

The original people of God were not made in his image. They were monsters. They were tall and powerful. They were 10 times stronger than the men we see in the world today.

They could walk for weeks without rest. Taking long loping strides across the plains and through dark forests. They could fight like any other ferocious beast in the world.

They needed to hunt a lot in order to maintain their large bulk of muscle. They were at least ten feet tall. Their bodies were hard and muscled like a big bodybuilder.

They mostly ate pure protein and obviously, junk food didn’t exist many thousands of years ago. They may have been very strong and ferocious fighters and killers but they needed a lot of food for they burnt a lot of energy.

There were many other large predators in those times but man was still the apex predator. He could hurl rocks at great speed with power and accuracy that will kill an animal from twenty meters away.

They were relentless hunters and fierce warriors. The biggest of them would become head of the tribe and lead the warriors on hunts and battles.

The tribes were quite widely spread but they had to protect their hunting ground, especially considering the importance of food. If another tribe tried to encroach on their hunting ground then a battle would ensue.

It would be a fight to the death including any women and children they found. They could not afford to tend to other tribes’ people for they had their own to look after and feed.

Sometimes the men would have to travel very far to find good hunting grounds. It was very dangerous for all should they come across another band of warriors.

Even in those days, there were certain tribes that began building big villages. They gained knowledge from the stars and from wandering wise men.

The bigger and stronger the village became, the more resources they needed to sustain themselves. Only the men ever went hunting and so they felt the pressure when there were a lot of women and children to feed as well.

At first, it was not too difficult but during that time period, the earth was very volatile. There would often be volcanos spitting fire and rocks into the night sky.

This would spread ash everywhere and block out the sun for days or even weeks. There would be many weeks of heavy rain or months of freezing weather and snow.

The weather was ever changing. Sometimes very hot. This early man learnt that if they built large temples and prayed to the gods then they would bring them food and make them lucky during hunting trips.

And so began the age of the Gods and worship. As with many large creatures of the time, a lot were wiped out during the ice age and great floods.

Especially when their resources were massively impacted. A thousand years later, a new man came to be. He was much smaller and lighter and didn’t require so much feeding.

This new designed man was cleverer and able to survive and thrive. In the beginning this new man was very successful and happy but soon, he wanted more and more until we reach today.

Where man is greedy and will take from his neighbor. He will gladly destroy those around him for his own accomplishment and success. And so, most struggled to survive while a few gain power and ruled the others with cunning and planning.

This caused much distress amongst all the others but they would have to be just as cunning in order to break the systems invented by the few for control and power.

They would have to band together and attack in their numbers to regain control. There would be much bloodshed and violence but it was necessary for the species to thrive once more.

For the many to thrive and not just the few, for this was how life was intended to be.

The power of the stars

The answers lie within the stars above. If you think that nature is powerful in terms of grounding you and allowing you to access your intuition and find answers that you seek, then the stars are infinitely more powerful.

They are pure and unspoilt. If you can tap into the energy of the stars then you will truly find yourself. Their magnificence is truly revealed when you can go to a secluded area with no light pollution.

You will see all the stars in their absolute magnificence. Shining brightly and in limitless abundance. When you see the universe in her limitless form, you will understand how everything was once limitless here on earth.

As an earth dweller, you have access to limitlessness for this is within our natural state. Limitless love, limitless resources, limitless oceans, sky and universe.

It is how everything was designed in the beginning and how it was meant to be. If you can imagine a small spider in a forest, to her, her world is limitless.

She can just keep walking for she will never reach the end of her world. She cannot jump in a plane or on a bus and travel as far as she likes.

She may eventually hit a river or a sea or ocean that she will not be able to pass but it is still not the end. This is how man was when we first arrived on earth.

Everything was limitless with so many undiscovered lands. Exploring and mapping out the whole world actually created limitations for us and shrunk our world and our minds.

Suddenly, the world was no longer limitless anymore and it deeply affected humans but they never realised it. When you walk in a limitless forest, there are enough trees to build a whole city and still have millions of trees left for firewood and furniture and many other things that trees can be used for.

Can you imagine, when you have limitless trees available to you, what you could create. Your mind could expand beyond anything it has imagined before because there are no limits to what you can create.

However, when man builds machines that can rapidly harvest trees by the thousands, suddenly, they are not limitless anymore. There is a big scar upon the earth where man raped and pillaged the landscape and left her barren of trees.

This in turn effects the human mind. He cannot now imagine to create something out of limitless resources because he was so greedy and determined that he managed to create limits.

So now, we do not have limitless imaginations, because the world has shrunk and so have all our resources. But, we still have the power to dream, to dream as big and limitless as we would love to.

And we have that power to bring limitlessness back into our lives as we realise that we can achieve and create literally anything we would love.

And when we take action towards this, we see just what is possible with focus and the power and energy of the stars. So this is your challenge, find a place far away from everywhere and appreciate the bright stars in the night sky.

Imagine for just a moment that you can harness their power and use it as fuel to create a life you would love. A limitless life of love, joy, happiness, fulfillment and contentment.

Ask what you should do next to achieve this life. Listen and then take action and be amazed at the magic you can create.

Brothers

Threpolis is my guide. He is my brother from many thousands of years ago. We used to fight together on the battlefield where we won many battles together.

We are bound over the many centuries by loyalty and blood. We have shared many lives together. We have protected each other’s families.

We have hunted many beasts together to feed our tribe. We have learnt many valuable lessons together. We have sought the wisdom of the ancient elders.

We have gained knowledge way beyond that of man today in his current form. We have witnessed much love and joy but also trauma and destruction.

We have witnessed many large battles and natural disasters. And not only have we survived them all but we have remained brothers through all eternity.

We are always equal regardless of if one of us is king and the other servant. We have always put our brother ahead of our own needs and wants for we know that serving our brother will be repaid a thousand fold be that in this life or the next or even the one after that.

We always find each other when the time is right in the new world that we are once more born into. If we are not born into physical form then we shall be the guide for the other throughout their life from the stars above.

We shall guide and mentor our brother through his physical human experience. We shall acknowledge his struggles and his hardships but celebrate with him as he finds love and joy and happiness once more.

We rejoice as he grows into an important leader of man, women and child. We stand by his side as he changes the path of mankind. We guide him in his battles, both physical and mental.

We are bound together from the past and into the unknown future. We fear together and cry together and celebrate our many victories together. As brothers, we are one and we are stronger. Our love and support for one another is eternal and endless.
