Are you running from your thoughts?

/0 Comments/in /by

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

/0 Comments/in /by

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

/0 Comments/in /by

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

/0 Comments/in /by

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

/0 Comments/in /by

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

/0 Comments/in /by

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

/0 Comments/in /by

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.

 

Going after what you love

/0 Comments/in /by

And, as if by magic, it was all over. The most intense interview that she had ever faced for the job she knew deep down her heart would love to do above all else.

Before the interview, there were so many thoughts and feelings that popped up for her. You’re not good enough for this, you’re not worthy, you’re incapable.

These thoughts had come up a million times before during her life. A guy she liked, you’re not good enough for him. Other jobs she went for, you’re incapable.

Other things she had wanted in her life, you’re not worthy. Life had been hard and tough but then she had realised, with the help of a wise person that all these stories she was telling herself were all made up.

They meant nothing. They were simply stories that had kept her safe as a child but now, no longer served her. They certainly didn’t help her but they did keep her safe and small.

She didn’t want to be safe and small anymore, she wanted to be out there. She wanted to be her authentic self. She wanted to be the person she had always wanted to be.

She knew deep down that she had all the skills required for the job but more importantly, she knew that this job was what her heart wanted.

For when she did this work, there were no conditions about success or failure. There was no judgement from herself or others. She knew, that when she was living her truth and being authentic that no one could question her.

She was real, she would attract the people into her life she needed. And those that did not resonate with her, would simply melt away like they were never there.

She felt loved and supported. She had discovered that her heart was her secret weapon. She would consciously send love to everyone around her, especially during her interview. She would feel her heart expanding and sending out unconditional love with no expectation or need for anything in return.

She was simply using her power. The others felt her love and empathy and understanding and knew in an instant that she was the perfect candidate for the job.

She also put all her focus on her end result which was to get the job. There were others more qualified, that would probably accept less money but regardless of this, she went after what her heart wanted and knew she would get her end result.

It was a dream come true. She would be helping people and making a difference in the world. Changing people’s lives for the better. Changing their children’s lives.

Changing generations of poverty, drug use and alcoholism. She had the opportunity to change it all. This was her genius and her gift to the world and she knew that by doing this, she would be completely fulfilled, content, happy and joyful.

This would help her thrive which was what, she had discovered a few months ago, was what life was all about.

Why you were born as you were

/0 Comments/in /by

We are always born into an environment that will help us grow and evolve into the best version of ourselves. While it may not always feel that way, life is indeed a journey.

There are many lessons and choices that we need to make along the way. These all mould us and shape us into the person we are today.

You may often wish that you had more knowledge when you were younger but the truth is, everything happens as it is meant to. There are not shortcuts for if we take a short cut then we miss out of many lessons.

Our experiences in life are all there to help us grow in many different ways. They shape our future and they help us appreciate what we have, regardless of how little or how much.

Regardless of the environment we are born into, no one just has an automatically easy life. There are always unseen pressures and demons that all of us have to contend with as part of the human experience.

We may believe that someone born into a wealthy family has everything easy. But when all you know is wealth, you do not appreciate it or even understand it or value it. Because you don’t know any different.

You don’t know a life without money and the difficulties it often brings. However, there are many other challenges you would have to deal with.

Fear of losing everything you have could be one. Pressure of making yourself more successful than your parents could be another.

We all have problems, just different problems. But it is these problems that give us strength and resolve. They push us to be a better version of ourselves.

Hopefully, we will one day realise that true success lies in being fulfilled and free to live in our truth. To be our real authentic selves regardless of how crazy we think we are. We realise that chasing material objects, financial wealth is not the answer.

For there are many people with these who are desperately unhappy. The answer is doing what you heart would love to do. To find your purpose in this world.

That is true success, fulfilment and joy. Doing a job you love doing is what serves your heart. In this way, you serve the world in which you live at your highest level. This in return gives you abundance in many different forms, love, joy, freedom, peace and yes, financial.

Chase what you heart would love to do way before you even think about chasing after money. Money will be the byproduct, not the goal.

When you are happy and fulfilled and serving your purpose in the world, you do not yearn for loads of money and cars and houses and other toys.

For all these yearning are trying to satisfy an unconscious and impure need that doesn’t serve our true self.

The simple things in life are often the most beautiful and the most rewarding. Appreciate and be grateful for these and the rest will follow.
