A little daylight please!

These days there is alot of darkness about – tragedy, loss of life and drama everywhere! It makes one start to wonder what the point of it all is?

“I’m sure there is an abundance of good news (light) out there however we don’t seem to hear much about that as the newsmedia seems to like to focus on controversey, doom and gloom and evil doings! Is that because that is all the viewers are interested in do you think or perhaps it more that projecting bad news keeps the ordinary pundits in their place – scared to move a muscle lest they be stomped on from a great height!”

Fear is a tool that has been used for centuries by those in power to keep those not in power in subjugation.

The fundamental institutions of society (which include the newsmedia) have vested interests (money and power) to ensure that the public  cannot and should not be allowed to rock the proverbial boat which remains afloat on a sea of apathy! Continue reading

Life Affirming Self-talk is a Positive

How often do we monitor what we say during the course of the day? If you were like me probably not that much!

I suspect we ignore the true power of words which are after-all externalised expressions of our inner-most thoughts. Our language as a representation of our thoughts can become habitual and we can quickly become de-sensitised to even the most destructive and ugly words if we are not observant.

As children we learned to respond to hurtful words used by others by repeating the simple mantra “sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me”. However, in reality we did then and still do now take on board the negative comments made by others about us and when we take these comments as truth we then repeat them back to ourselves as negative, critical self-talk.

It is this self-talk that is far more damaging to us than the actual sting of the initial comment made by someone else because it is self-perpetuating and not life enhancing. What we focus on and talk about will manifest in our lives through the universal Law of Attraction. Angry and ugly words will only attract those back to us!

The Blame Game

In my view one of the most destructive and systemically infective attitudes that exists in the world today is that of the lack of taking personal responsibility for one’s thoughts, emotions and actions.

As a lawyer of over 30 years experience it has never failed to amaze me how so many people are prepared to create and fuel an argument at whatever cost just over a matter of principle or to avoid taking any responsibility for their part in the creation of a dispute. Regardless of the justness of any cause or perspective  there will always be two sides to every circumstance – thats just the way it is. We live in a dual universe.

We can either live above the line as victors in control of our own destinies or we can employ the blame game and live below the line as victims. Continue reading

Four Steps to Living a Life You Love

Over the next few articles I will be discussing what I have found to be an invaluable process for authentic and powerful living. Try it out and watch what happens in your own life! The following is the fourth and final article in this series.

Step Four

This is all about learning not to “Edge God Out” or in other words learning to control our Ego’s. The Ego’s catch phrase is “its all about “me”! Nobody and nothing else matters! I am a legend in my own lunchtime! Ego is the master controller of all the little personalities we clothe ourselves with.

When we start to believe that we are somebody then we have become disconnected from our source. Ego and love cannot exist together. In reality Ego is a virtual mind made construct. It is the King of all our unrealities!

We can trace the devlopment of the Ego back to when Adam and Eve were evicted from the Garden of Eden. During the slow process of our evolution we reached a point when we became self-conscious. This is what separates us from other creatures inhabiting Planet Earth – our ability to be conscious about ourselves and our surroundings. It is that ability alone which has separated us from the “Garden Paradise/Heaven” which we had previously occupied and which now causes us so much pain and suffering while we occupy our own little versions of reality.

Over the next few articles I will be discussing what I have found to be an invaluable process for authentic and powerful living. Try it out and watch what happens in your own life! The following is the third article in this series.

Step Three

When we have recovered our authentic power and we no longer seek to manipulate and control other people or our external environment we are free to express our love through our compassion and the sharing of our positive and unique gifts.

“Know thy self” is an often quoted saying attributed to Socrates.

When we have freed ourselves from the shackles of our psychology we gain clarity about who we really are as unique individuals and our true potential for greatness. Our ability to truly shine our light manifests and we are compelled to share our gifts with others. That is truly our purpose in life – to share our uniqueness for the benefit of all and thereby encouraging others to do the same. Continue reading
