EMBRACE UNCERTAINTY

EMBRACE UNCERTAINTY

The global economic crisis means for many people challenges and limitations, in financial status, in relationships etc.

The media as always spreads fear as one ego based structure after another collapses, or shakes. Who could predict the fall of Communism, or the collapse of banks and other financial structures? Undoubtedly there will be more challenges, even from natural events like volcanoes, restricting air travel and commerce.

Materialism cannot be sustained, while many global populations starve, and countries and citizens live off debt. Is it so important to have the ego-based trappings of life, a bigger car or a bigger house than the neighbour? People are changing their priorities.

Structures NEED to change. Ego based structures must collapse or adapt to growing consciousness.

These are not dreadful events threatening our long term plans, to hang onto dated systems and ideals.

Opportunities are being presented for us as individuals, and as businesses and governments, to change, to grow in consciousness, and in awareness. We have the choice to embrace these changes and opportunities, or to suffer and live in fear.

Now longer can we plan out the next 20 or 30 years of life. We can instead live for each day in gratitude for the blessings we have, and work towards a better, but different world.

Embrace uncertainty; strive to make the world a better place, to serve others and not to live for greed and power.

Embrace the 5th dimension ideals for a better, and different life for all.

See my 25 April 2010 blog “Living in the 5th Dimension and Releasing the Illusions of the 3rd Dimension”, a channelled message.

Move forward not knowing, embracing uncertainty, with optimism for the better world.

THE MEANING OF LIFE

This short cartoon video sums up so well the meaning of life and what is important.
It is good to remind ourselves.

We should not waste energy on what is unimportant.

MEDITATION AND THE DISTRACTING THOUGHTS

MEDITATION AND THE DISTRACTING THOUGHTS

Is it ok if thoughts distract me in time of meditation? How can I prevent it?

When the mind is quiet, thoughts are most free to surface. That is why many good thoughts and ideas come at 5am. When the mind is busy they cannot get attention.

In meditation, for the majority of people, thoughts will distract you, as will unexpected sounds like music from a neighbour, a cat fight or whatever.

Don't fight them.
Deflect them past you.
Bring back you attention by repeating your mantra and focus on your heart centre or on your 3rd eye chakra.

But sometimes they hold my mind and occupy it, then I can’t get back to mantra and heart....

You can only repeat the manta loudest (internally) to drown out the sound, and feel you eyes looking with eyes closed at the heart centre. But the more energy you put towards the distracting thoughts or sounds, the more they affect you.

Don't make it a fight. Ignore them.

With practice it gets easier. Practice meditation daily even for a few minutes, and at least twice a week make the meditation at least 20 minutes.

An OLD HEAD on a YOUNG BODY

“I know to trust in the outcome, but it's so hard sometimes!! I do not feel 19 years old, I have always been ahead of my peers which confuses my head a lot. I feel that I am almost 'missing out' on being young because I graduated high school early and started my holistic schooling right away. But I know it's what I want to do and what I love.

Again, thank you for your time and listening to me. Those videos were just what I needed.

You'll be in my thoughts and prayers as you leave for your retreat.”

You feel older than your years. That was my experience also.
Like an old head on a young body.
Time has led me to the conclusion that this reflects the accumulated wisdom of past lives. Unlike your school friends, you are wise (in old knowledge) and you are conscious. You need to develop the growing consciousness and awareness, and to let some rub off onto others.
I feel that you have stepped onto the spiritual path of this lifetime with awareness but you are uncertain, as you move along it.
If you can recognise that this is what is happening to you, and seek out the right people, by intention, to meet on the path and to learn lessons from them (they will also learn from you) then you will develop. The universe will put these people in your path.
You just need to make the connection, and if you can, recognise the fact.
They won't all seem helpful, but you will learn from some who engage in confrontation, just as you will learn from some showing loving support and encouragement.
You have a purpose here. Recognise it by seeing what you like to do, and did as a child. Those skills may guide you to your purpose in the scheme of things.
Lastly, for now, don't act old all the time. Seek out the inner child and enjoy playful, childlike activities for your whole life.
Life is meant to be fun, and not serious.

I will think of you too, and please feel free to stay in contact and ask if you need any help, advice or guidance.
We have connected for a purpose.
It may be that the purpose has already been achieved. It may be that the connection will last for years.

MOVING TOWARDS BALANCE

MOVING TOWARDS BALANCE

Visualise your life today. Visualise this parallel with life.

You are on a sailing boat crossing an ocean. Something in life is out of balance. You love life though.

You are sailing a long distance through big waves. It has to be done, but it could be easier. You want to reach the distant calm haven.

To sail through a year you cannot just have the nice days, and fresh air, you have to sail through the big waves (of the office etc.) to reach the end of the year.

At the next port there is the opportunity to reflect and to decide what is important, and what to do next. We all have that choice and there are ways to achieve it.

You will find the way, it is early days. There are thousands of days ahead.

There is no point in putting off to another day our desires and dreams.
Life is NOW not the future.
You can do something different for a different outcome.
Make the necessary changes.

But no point to push things either.
You have gratitude for your many blessings.
You enjoy the presents which each day can bring - without expectations.
Go with flow.

The balance is to go with the flow, while making the changes to achieve the desired outcome. Sail to the safe haven, then when the timing is right, take a new course.

YOU ARE YOUR OWN GURU AND TEACHER

YOU ARE YOUR OWN GURU AND TEACHER

For centuries the wise man, the Guru, the Master, would sit surrounded by followers, disciples. They would remain like this for days, weeks and even years. The Guru would speak words of wisdom, from his own thoughts or to answer questions about all aspects of life.

Others just need occasional guidance on the path.

“It is said that whenever the disciple is ready the master appears. Whenever you are ready the truth will be delivered to you. There is not even a single moment's gap. Whenever you are ready, it happens immediately. There is no time gap.” Osho (20th century mystic).

When the same followers remain at the feet of the Guru, he can rightly say, “you come to me each day and hear my teachings, my words of wisdom. Why are you still here? Did you learn nothing?”

We have what we need inside us, but often need a mirror to see it.

The teacher and Guru is inside all of us, just as a dry seed lives in the land. When we add water to the dry seed it grows. When we activate our spiritual intention and consciousness we start to access the wisdom within.

The mirror can be a wiser, more knowledgeable soul, or can be anyone we interact with where lessons can be learned. We meet the people we need to meet to exercise our karma, or to grow spiritually. We have the choice to learn the lesson at that opportunity, or to ignore it.

We must allocate time to quiet the mind and access our higher self, the true spirit within. Meditation is one way, but a silent walk in nature can be just as effective.

So much lies within, and we need to realise that and explore.

SEXUALITY and SPIRITUALITY part 4

SEXUALITY and SPIRITUALITY part 4

Unsurprisingly SEXUALITY and SPIRITUALITY part 3 motivated a number readers to respond to me.

“Great article, David. Lots of truth here.”

"Yes David! Rockin' article, WOW! I had no idea how like minded we are."

"As a therapist myself, I have found this definitely to be the case. This is NOT an excuse to be promiscuous however. It is a way of discovering the true self within and balancing the three main spheres of our being; mental/emotional, spiritual, and physical."

“I mean...sometimes....many times....people can find the spiritual way as a ...way out. You can do it of course, but in a very evoluted way and how is the percentage of those living the experience like that (evoluted I mean...in nowadays world)? The line which separates healthy" holy" sex from simple fucks is very thin.....and too difficult sometimes to be excused /dismissed as a spiritual way to grow. There should always be a part of decency and morality in it.”

I found an excellent definition of SACRED SEXUALITY, the path of Tantra, on the web:

An exploration of the Human condition
Leads to self discovery
Verifiable through observation and experience
Where integration of body, mind & spirit takes place
Healing on subtle levels can transpire through the cultivation of Prana or Chi
Becomes a path of bliss, affirmation & joy
Awaken/reawaken the sense of your completed, loving, sensual self and share that Divine self with another.

There should of course be decency and morality in it. Is it not more decent and moral to be open about relationships, than the norm of deceit and secrecy? Better to be wishing your partner to enjoy what he or she needs with love and acceptance. If only we can all live in the 5D ways of universal love and consciousness, and without 3D jealousies, anger, and hatred etc.

When that happens the world WILL BE a better place.

I was also asked to be “Agony Aunt”: Good morning and thank you for posting about having a relationship outside your core one.... I didn't know that I would be that other person. Neither one of was married and he met someone and made her his core person, but has kept me as a mistress... I'm just now after 8 months dealing with it and am very sad... He hasn't been honest with either one of us and I'm not sure what to do? She doesn't know anything and that's what is bothering me too? Is it ok for me to ask you what I should do?

This is different, and very 3D. The writer is spiritual and has the unrealistic expectations that the boy friend and new core partner will be also. I advised her to consider that she is being used, and she may prefer to let go of the “security” or comfort zone of the relationship, and to move on to be open to meet a new partner who is also on a spiritual path. Mixed spiritual level relationships can work, each accepting and supporting the other and the differences, or can be a disaster, due to the culturally different ideals.

All of the comments received are helpful and we should consider the theme of part 3 of the blog in the stated context of people coming together for the purpose of each growing spiritually from the experience. Intention is very relevant. If two people come together with the intention of only a sexual relationship, that is outside of the concept under discussion.

Many people like to fit into some model, which they understand and can follow. Marriage is such a model. The new model is not fully shaped. The model of a tribe or community will help some. Here groups of people will bond together to further some common interest(s). Others will relate to the concept of Polyamory, where the two people in a core couple will openly have one or two deep spiritual meaningful relationships of a long term nature running simultaneously with the core couple relationship. More about that model in a future blog.

Of course, the two person model is just fine too, and will remain the majority option to living alone, for some years to come.
