The toughest thing to do in the moment of a crisis or in panic and frustration and anger is to stop. To stop and trust yourself that you can and will come up with a solution if you just stop and let your intuition take over.

Your intuition has all the answers but it can only get through when the mind is quiet so that you can hear it. When you are in turmoil and your brain is going crazy, remember, that your true power in that situation, whatever it happens to be, is to quieten the mind.

This involves centring yourself, putting your focus in the centre of your head. Simply allowing yourself to focus on a single point and to let all the myriad of other thoughts and feelings wash over you. Acknowledge and let them go and keep your focus.

Let your intuition take control of the situation and find a creative way out of your predicament. This may be an emergency type of scenario or it could be losing a loved one or losing your job or just having a panic attack about something.

It is in these moments that you need to pull yourself up, swim to the surface so that you can breathe. So that you can stop drowning in all your thoughts and feelings which are essentially all made up.

They are not based on fact, they are based on your perception of the current situation. How many times have you judged a situation and think something is going on when the reality is, when you find out later, that actually, something totally different was going on.

That is because we make it all up and our reality is based on a very clever illusion. When we stop our racing mind and choose not to focus on all these thoughts and feelings flying around like a tornado in our head, then we can allow our intuition to come to the fore.

Our intuition is not logic. It is not reason. It is a part of us that answers first when we ask a question of it. It is the first response before our ego and logic trying to kick in and answer the question a different way.

A way based on our belief systems that have kept us small all our life. Belief systems that were created as a child and that we have never shed but still live by them, many years into adulthood.

Sometimes, into our seventies and eighties, we still live and act like a child. Stamping our foot to get attention, throwing our toys out our cot when we don’t get our own way.

And above all, believing that we are incapable or not worthy or not good enough and so on. It’s because we listen to these thoughts and live by our ego that we struggle in life.

We have not taken responsible for our life, we have not taken responsibility for everything that we have created in our life. We are a victim.

Everything has happened to us. Ever notice how, when people do really bad things to others and they get caught, that they are always the victim in the scenario.

They never admit and can’t even fathom that they have hurt others and even destroyed other people’s lives and their families. They did what they thought they had to survive and they hurt many others in the process.

And when they get caught with their hand in the cookie jar, oh wow. Its not their fault, life is hard, it’s me or you. The excuses will continue into eternity.

They will never take responsibility and they will feel sorry for themselves. They are firmly in victim mode. Life will be infinitely better for you when you catch yourself being a victim and switch into creator mode instead.

In creator mode, you go after what your heart would love to create. In this terrible situation right now, that you have unconsciously created, what would your heart love.

What outcome would you really love. The more clear you can be on what outcome you would love, the more you put your focus on this outcome, the more likely you are to create this for yourself.

The outcome doesn’t have to be logical but it does have to come from your heart. That’s the rule. Go for what your heart would love. Do no harm to others, be that a tree, a squirrel or another human being.

Remember always, that love is our superpower. Go for what you love regardless of our crazy or impossible it feels at the time. Step into the unknown. Look for what is unknown.

That is how you will grow and thrive. One more thing, make it easy and playful. Don’t be serious. Don’t try and force your outcome. Make it easy and playful and fun.

Have fun getting that outcome that comes from your heart.

And finally the time came for the warrior to head home to his family. He was but a young teenager, sent out by himself into the wilderness to prove that he was ready for manhood.

He had to hunt, shelter and find water for himself during the five days. He had to protect himself, not only from dangerous cats and other beasts but also his fellow brothers who were sent out on the same mission.

It was fair game if they came across one another to steal each other’s food and shelter if they could. The warrior knew that there was some animosity amongst his brothers for he was the chief’s son.

He knew, they would not just steal his food or shelter if they found him, for they would kill him to stop him becoming the new leader of the tribe when the time came.

The others wanted to prove above all else that they were worthy of being leader and that they were stronger and more resilient than him. But he knew that he was more cunning and thoughtful.

He knew the ways of the forest and the universe. He understood the rules of surviving and thriving and of love. He would send them love which would blindside them and keep him hidden from his enemies.

This was their last opportunity to get rid of him for once he was a man and back in the village, there would not be another occasion where they could challenge him.

He would be treated and respected as a man and as the son and rightful aire to his father, the powerful leader of the tribe. He also knew, deep in his heart that it was not an automatic right.

He still had to fight for those five days in the wilderness. The fathers of the other young boys vying to become men would have told them that if they ever wanted to lead the tribe, then this was their last opportunity.

They would have to hunt him down and kill him and then pretend nothing had happened and they didn’t know where he was. They would bury his body under large rocks or make sure a hungry beast would find and devour him leaving no doubt what had befallen him.

If he did not return, it would weaken his father’s position and put him in a difficult situation knowing in the face of the tribe that he had a son that was not up to the standard he should have been.

He had not proved himself to be a great teacher and had let his child die. And so, the young warrior knew what was at stake but he also knew he had all the skills he required to thrive by himself in the wild forests and mountains.

Firstly, he would run far, at least for a day. The others would not expect him to be so far away for they would stay as close to the camp as possible without being seen but for the sense of safety that it offered.

They knew that if they were attacked or things went horribly wrong and they cried out, someone would come and save them. They also understood that they could practically guard the camp from our young warriors return.

It would be a bit like running the gauntlet to get back home. Again, our young warrior was more cunning that his brothers, proving again his worth as a future leader. After running for a day, he would make camp close to a stream.

He would hunt and eat berries that would be more than enough to sustain him over the next three days. Then, he would run back again but he would circle around the whole village and approach from the rear where he was not expected.

A big fire would be made for their return at sunset. There would be much celebration for the ceremony of the boys becoming men. When they became men, they shed their boyhood.

They were treated as men, expected to go on hunting parties, to protect the tribe, especially the woman and children. They would fight for the tribe and choose a mate and create a family that they would be responsible for.

They would also be responsible for their own life, there was no more mothering or fathering once they became a man. Their childhood was over and they had proved they were now capable of being a strong and wise warrior.

However, it was no guarantee that all of them would survive and return to the camp. Or some would return injured, perhaps a day or two early. This was the ultimate shame.

To fail the test of manhood. They would have another chance to prove themselves in six moons time otherwise, they would be banished and would surly die out in the wild by themselves, especially if they had proven themselves to be incapable.

It was hard but fair. The tribe needed strong warriors to hunt and protect them, they could not carry anyone who was not useful to them. The world was too dangerous for that.

And so, our young warrior carried out his plan. He saw his other brothers waiting for him, hiding in the tall grass and amongst the trees. But he circled past them, smiling to himself and he entered the camp from the rear and came upon the waiting crowd, confident, healthy and strong.

A broad grin crossed his fathers face as he saw his son, a man for the first time. He had excelled himself and his family. His father knew he had taught him well but there was still a glimmer of relief when his son strode into the firelight.

There was much rejoicing and slowly the other young men realised they had missed their opportunity and came back into the camp as well, as men.

They knew that their future leader had proven himself the best of them and they were proud. They rejoiced in the fact there tribe’s future was in good hands for the sons leader was just as good as his father.

A band of ancient warriors struggle through the night to get back to their home in the hills with the multitude of caves that they all live in.

They have been in a tough fight where they lost many of their brave brothers. Many are injured as they help one another and support each other to get back home to their families and loved ones. It has been a hard fought battle over many days and nights.

They are exhausted and hungry. They fought many other brave warriors and then were attacked by a huge brutish bear as they left the battlefield.

There was no victor in the fight but it was either leave or each man would have fought to the death and there would be no one to return to the caves.

They were all brave warriors but they were not stupid. They had made a good account of themselves and proved their warrior spirit and bravery but the fight was over and they all had to head back.

On the way, they encountered the 8 foot, angry, hungry bear. They once again had to use all their skills and cunning to protect themselves and fight for their lives once more.

There was never any rest. Just a constant fight for survival. Even after they scared off the bear eventually, they had to drag their weary bodies over rocky ground, deep rivers and high mountains.

Over snowcapped peaks and down treacherous slopes. One thing the warriors would never do was to give up. They would fight until their last breathe was taken from them.

It would never be willingly surrendered. They protected their brothers with their life if necessary. They would fight to the death for their families and their tribe.

The survival of the tribe was absolute but so was the warrior spirit. They had to prove their strength and bravery on this earth in order to transition to the next world.

They had to be loyal and faithful and useful to the tribe. Death would come swiftly to any who did not live up to the standard. Their powerful leaders blade was swift and true for any weakness that put the tribe in jeopardy.

The women, the bearers of new life, the keepers of the peace and the ones who nurtured the young ones, were to be protected at any cost. The women were capable in their own right. But there job was not protection but to nurture.

And so it came to be, the way of the tribes. Only the strongest survived and thrived. They had to use all their powers and skills and talents just to stay alive.

They would all need to contribute to the success of the tribe or they would not eat. They would need to find their genius and serve their tribe from a young age.

They would venture out into the wild as a young boy or girl and seek guidance from the stars and the spirit animals who would share with them their purpose.

With passion and love they would live out their purpose and be supported and loved by the rest of the tribe. They would transition from child to adult in this process and take responsibility for their own life and those of the tribe.

They would receive abundance in many different forms, love, food, fire, warmth and comfort. They would be fulfilled by their service that made their heart sing.

They would be joyful and happy but they would not hesitate to sacrifice themselves for their loved ones if the time ever came.

They had to be tough and they had to learn many skills but with their deep connection to the universe and to nature and their understanding of being grateful for everything they received from her, they thrived.

They would spend the time to save a sick tree or one covered in strangling weeds. For this small deed, they would be repaid tenfold by nature herself.

Even though they had to fight other brave warriors and large, dangerous beasts, they never forgot that their true strength lay in their ability to love.

Love and pray for the beast that wanted to kill and eat them, love their enemies, love the animals that allowed themselves to be killed for food. They learned that when they loved everything, life was actually much easier.

It was less hard for whatever was thrown at them, they loved and appreciated and learnt any lessons that came their way from tough situations.

They grew as a person and as a spirit. It didn’t matter when they died for it was clear that it was their time to transition to the next world. They would feel the loss but they would also rejoice for their loved one had earnt the right to move on.

They would celebrate the life of their loved one, however long or short and know, deep down that they would be looked after in the next world.

And that they would once again be reunited when their time came. Until then, they would serve and thrive and appreciate the gift of a joyful life.

There is so little we know about the stars and galaxies in the universe. We can surmise what we think is going on but the reality is that everything is so vast that we really don’t know.

What we do know is that the stars and constellations have been steadfast for many millions if not billions of years. We can imagine the dinosaurs looking up into the night star and watching Orion’s belt and perhaps even using it to navigate their way around, just like our ancient ancestors did thousands of years ago.

We also know that our ancient relatives (that we again know very little about), built intricate temples and other megalithic structures that all aligned with the star constellations.

So much is unknown as to how and why they did this. However, I can tell you that life for our ancient ancestors was very different. They lived, just as you and I live here today.

They had advanced technology but it was just very different to the type of technology that we have today. What they had in the past was the guidance of the stars and planets.

They were get information and help from the stars. They would create these structures that would harness the power of certain stars and create an energy that we have not seen or witnessed for many thousands of years.

This was the real power of the stars and planets that they understood and used at that time period. But in today’s world, we have no idea what this technology was and how it was used.

Again, I can tell you that it was more powerful than anything we are using in our modern day. It is still there and ready to be harnessed but we have forgotten the technology.

But it will be revealed again soon and it will bring great joy and hope to mankind. The challenge and the reason the information about the technology has not yet been released is because of how man behaves and the way he is.

You see, there is too much evil in this world. There is too much hate and jealousy and malice. And therefore, mankind does not deserve to understand this star harnessing technology because he will simply misuse it and it will be used as always for the few to gain more power.

Imagine free and unlimited electricity. This is what is available to you. But there has to be change, there has to be a more equal society created. One where everyone benefits, not just the few.

For the world is supposed to be a place of thriving and not suffering, especially the poor. We hope that mankind will not sell something which is free and unlimited but we are not confident this will happen and so for now, we keep this information from you until you can prove that you are capable of serving your fellow human being.

To spread love and joy and kindness. When mankind starts to do this, then there will be rewards that follow. Knowledge of this and many other technologies will be revealed and all will thrive and benefit.

So, focus on being kind, empathetic, giving and be of service to all other beings in your world. And then a new era will be born and it will be incredibly exciting with what you will be able to achieve as a species.

Today’s message is about love. But wait. It is not about loving your partner or about sex. It is about loving a stranger. Again, not about sex but about giving the unconditional love to a stranger so they get a warm feeling of empathy as they pass you by.

They may be in a bad mood about something or perhaps someone close to them has died recently and they are missing them. Perhaps they have lost their job or one of their parents is very sick.

When you walk past, consciously expand your heart and imagine that you can send this love to any other living thing in this world. Imagine for a few seconds that they need some love in their life and you are there to share some of yours with them.

As a man, full of testosterone and manliness, it is very difficult to imagine such a thing. But the truth is, that for all human beings, our superpower is love. In a world where we share love to one another, unconditionally, just because we can.

We change our frequency. Our frequency raises to a higher level. When we operate from this higher level, we do not notice the trivial things that happen in our life. We do not notice all the distractions available to us every second of every day.

We discover that we can focus like never before. We find that we can put our focus on what we would love. This means that if we would love to write a book or create a podcast or make a movie or do a certain job that fills our heart with joy that this is not only available to us but it is within our grasp.

We find, when we operate from a higher frequency that we can go after these things that will fulfil us and give us purpose. As a human on this earth, we all need a purpose to keep ourselves motivated and keep pushing forward.

To strive to be the best we can be for ourselves, not to try and please others or try and get likes and shares on social media but live in our truth of who we are meant to be.

We all have a purpose on this planet. Every single one of us, regardless of our circumstances. And to get closer to that purpose, we need to understand that our heart and love are two very powerful attributes that we all possess.

You can stand next to a big tree and put your hand on it. Feel it’s deep roots in the ground, feel its strength and its wisdom and its knowledge. Imagine how much it has seen over the last few hundred years that it has been alive.

Most of all, as another living organism, you can feel the power of its love. It loves everything around it. It loves the sunrise and the sunset. It loves the squirrels that play in its branches. The birds that sing songs from its highest outstretched twigs and leaves.

Putting my hand on this powerful being, I am overwhelmed by its love that I almost stagger back. I feel this feeling in my whole body and I know that I am connected to this tree, even if for only a few seconds. We have connected and shared a love of the earth and appreciation for one another being alive.

Gratitude for sharing this brief moment before I continue my walk while she stands there, eternally, guarding the landscape and giving life and love to others for that is her purpose. She is living in her truth.

What is your truth. What is your purpose and what are you doing to seek it and live it.
