Slowly, slowly;

I pause, and I

breathe.

for this life is

not a race.

Time in our

heads,

convinced as it

is;

not that but a

tool

of embrace.

Beyond lay my

body;

a note to be

read,

Cloaks need

for the thrill

of such pace.

You’ve been

abandoning

yourself,

no less.

What you are experiencing is what you are experiencing. You are not the experience itself. You are the source of infinite potential beyond such collapse. Wrestling and making things hard is great for the ego, but when you are done getting nowhere, the call comes to let go.

You are not tired. You are not abandoned. You are not lost. You are not disconnected.

The role you have been playing has been making you tired.

The role you have been playing has been making you feel abandoned.

The role you have been playing has been making you feel lost.

The role you have been playing has been making you feel disconnected.

Φ

Your thoughts and feelings are a response to your life experiences, distancing you from the very quality you seek. These qualia collapse from the whole—or the infinite—to form a lesser version of that which you truly are, your “reality” arising from little more than the conditioning through which the infinite has passed.

Any words that we use to describe this divine and infintely powerful quality remove us from that to which we point. However, by making a continued commitment to self-inquiry, we may get a little more comfortable with the phenomena masking the known.

Everything our bodies have done, they have done to survive. From an evolutionary viewpoint, once single-celled organisms evolved into multi-celled organisms in order to answer to the complexities of the environmental demands placed upon them, a regulatory capacity was needed in order to maintain harmony between internal relationships.

This regulatory standard to which the body’s processes are held in response to an environmental load is called allostasis.

Developing from these standards is a dynamic process called homeostasis: the governance of the body’s internal systems in response to environmental load.

Homeostasis arose from the demand to orchestrate multiple organs within an optimal range, which, it has been argued, serve as instruments which, placed along the nervous system, receive signals sent from various parts of the brain, such a resonance giving rise to consciousness as we know it.

Φ

What you are looking for already exists within but you have been conditioned into believing it doesn’t in order to keep autonomy out of your hands.

You have been mistakenly trained into thinking the solution lies in “things,” “out there,” when this couldn’t be further from the truth.

Φ

The interplay between mind and body is a fascinatingly complex chasm of opportunity that continually expands the further into it we shine our searchlights. This lake of awareness seems to magnify whatever we consistently apply to it. Although we may not have conscious control of these covert processes, we can influence the quality of their environment with our beliefs.

Our brains are plastic meaning they are constantly being transformed by the quality of our thoughts. This inner structure is continually being pruned and refined by our choices.

Habitual thinking towards whatever creates thicker neurological connections, which, over time, carry information along certain pathways far more readily causing us to default into certain ways of engaging with our internal environment, thus creating our “realities.”

As both Creator and Creation, we can begin to change these patterns—and our realities—any time we choose.

Φ

At a fundamental level, thoughts are things. These things create energy. This energy releases chemicals into the body and these chemicals then trigger biological responses that determine how we feel, and therefore, are.

Our bodies are always listening to these thoughts and are faithful servants, accepting whatever they hear as truth.

If we obsess over lack, scarcity, comparison, and complication, our bodies respond by releasing the appropriate chemicals, as instructed, thus creating the corresponding emotion. If, however, we entertain plenitude, fullness, gratitude, and simplicity, our bodies are invited to raise the frequency at which they vibrate.

As we shall see, quantum physics has shown the only reality that exists is the reality you believe is true.

The vibrational frequency we apply to life based on our belief systems will determine the quality of the results we get.

The fact of the matter is, you are both Creation and Creator.

Φ

Inside each and every one of us is a force. Something that animates us. Something that is unique. A spirit that was suffocated as we were conditioned into a way of operating that abided by the rules and principles of a sick society.

“Shoulds” strangled us with responsibilities that were never ours to shoulder and our energies averted from their rightful destination, such abandonment from our strength underlying the notion that we are flawed, unworthy, and unloveable.

Circumstances that we have the power to do absolutely nothing about pushed down our throats as if to make us feel guilty playing to make ends meet in our own game of survival.

In order to go beyond victims of our conditioning, we may benefit from learning about how our particular histories interact with elements which reach beyond the known.

What if, instead of relentlessly searching for answers, it was as simple as asking ourselves the right questions?

“What if” questions framed in the present tense don’t prompt any resistance in our minds and instead produce solution, bringing together the power of presence, imagination, creativity, and intention critical to producing the results we desire.

WHAT IF THIS WAS TRUE?

Φ

In order to go beyond victims of our conditioning, we may benefit from learning about how our particular histories interact with elements reaching beyond the known.

We must know ourselves.

There is power in exercising responsibility.

Φ

Our identities are nothing more than limited creations of the mind based largely on fear. The mind creates an image of who we are—our “ego”—in an effort to stand guard over our vulnerabilities, and we spend our days working to uphold these creations, even if we don’t like what we see.

We will defend what we think we know as the alternative—the unknown, emptiness—we fear, is far worse.

But there lies precisely our gift.

There lies preciely our opportunity.

Φ

Perhaps once shamed for letting our vulnerabilities see the light of day, we haven’t yet fully understood this was a reflection of the perpetrators discomfort rather than our own.

However, it is from precisely here—from embarking on the journey of self-inquiry—that we can build ourselves an experience that is more aligned, harmonious, coherent.

It might be said the deepest, most profound healing comes from exercising the discipline to sit still and watch the breath whilst the self-organising nature of the universe has the freedom to illuminate our higher selves.

Φ

The degree to which we unconsciously protect our unhealed wounds dictates how and to which extent this defense mechanism jumps into action, often causing our energies to constrict and abandon our light—and our power—in an attempt to protect our tenderness.

In mindlessly performing for this projection without stopping to look at what we’re actually protecting—and why—we are kept in a perpetual state of carrot and stick, largely separating us from the flow of life; forever travelling somewhere but never actually arriving anywhere.

We are kept separate from the very thing we wish for. We so deeply desire tenderness but have constructed so many walls surrounding this that no matter hard we try, we can’t seem to connect.

Φ

So, if continually searching for things to complete us is the domain of an ego and only perpetuates the notion of lack and separation, what does one think may be the solution?

Surrender All You Know to allow the fullness of All There Is to become clear without interference from the limited nature of your thinking.

Change happens subtly, not by wrestling against the unfolding energy of our universe. As such, healing may not be achieved through will, but coherence with its symphony.

Feed and energise the nervous system’s highly developed extra-cerebral pathways and let them perform how they were meant to perform. Practice your essence as conductor of the breath.

Once you put this into practice, a potential solution will unveil itself.

Φ

We justify the feeling of not being enough by covering up the wholeness of our immediate experience with layers of activity serving to distance us from the very quality we seek before we even attempt to exercise the courage to stop and ask ourselves whether what we’re doing is serving the version of ourselves we want to be.

Beyond the nature of what you’re currently experiencing is a vast silence; a stillness which contains the potential for every quality for which you thirst and more besides.

A presence that is full of everything rather than lacking in anything.

Change happens subtly, not by wrestling against the unfolding energy of our universe. As such, healing may not be achieved through will, but visualisation.

Feed and energise the mind’s highly developed extra-cerebral pathways and let them perform how they were meant to perform.

Φ

Pray from the heart as if the object of your focus is here, in the present, and then listen.

Pray from the heart as if the object of your focus is here, with you, in the present, and listen.

Φ

In prayer, one becomes master of their own kingdom, freely diving within the expansive nature of the whole; the current that is continuously supportive, flowing beyond the limited nature of projected identity.

It is through prayer that we know freedom, strength, creation, grace.

Through prayer, we know the fullness of our true selves.

So, forget what you think you know.

What if this was true?

Φ

We all have an ego by nature of being human. It is the image of ourselves we send out into the world. Left unchecked, the ego is a source of fragementation from our deepest selves. To have a handle on one’s ego is to have a handle on the self. It is to cease taking out a subscription on that which limits access to magnificent fullness and trust in the space between.

But the death of such a fabrication comes with the birth of more than we could have ever wished for.

What if you were already everything you were looking for?

What if you are a radar for the infinitely powerful but have forgotten this in an attempt to become that which you are not?

Φ

The act of continual surrender married to the rust, curiosity, visualisation, and rehersal of appropriate questioning allows us to reconnect with this timeless quality.

Φ

It could be said that in order to unlock the fullness of this quality we must exercise the courage to go within.

To learn about the existence of these images in order to see beyond them.

To face our fears, our desires, our anger, our resistance.

To learn about the barriers preventing us from becoming the love we seek.

Our triggers are personal signals showing us where our work needs to be done. They may be the most powerful internal compasses we have.

These triggers can be seen as little more than reactions to unresolved wounds that would otherwise lead us around by an invisible leash.

These are the very invitations we gloss over.

These invitations we avoid because they’re uncomfortable but entry to the party is worth it.

Lean into them. Listen to them. Learn from them. Our triggers are teachers; invitations to where the blockages to wholeness lie, and nobody can heal them except you.

From this position, we may largely begin to understand our realities as little more than signals which have passed through a complex filter of interpretations uniquely formed by the instinctual desire to survive circumstances that have, historically, made us feel vulnerable.

Our thoughts may be our reality, but they are not the reality.

Vulnerability is a gift.

Φ

The deeper we go into ourselves, the more layers we excavate, and the more layers we excavate, the closer we get to blooming.

The closer we get to blooming, the more we realise how profoundly connected to everything and everyone else we are.

Φ

Everything that is seen is seen having first passed through the filter of our mind. We assume the realities we experience are how reality is as the connections in our brain suggesting this to be the case have been well-trodden; trunk roads for information to pass, whether or not that information is accurate.

It is of vital importance to align with our own journeys rather than those of another. Dip in and out of others’ stories but get to writing your own as a matter of priority.

Unless we expect the whole world to change for us, true change happens only by changing ourselves.

True change happens by exercising the ability to respond.

“Let everything happen to you:
Beauty and terror.
Just keep going.
No feeling is final.”

― Rainer Maria Rilke

Φ

We are afforded this human experience to learn, evolve, share, and grow. When discomfort comes knocking, ask yourself what learning could be had from the opportunity.

“How could this be happening for me?”

The essence that animates you also animates me but we need to unearth our triggers to allow this to shine in its full glory.

We need to face our vulnerabilities to realise they were invitations all along.

There is no such thing as seer or seen. No such thing as you and/or me.

Penetrate your fear to penetrate your ego. Penetrate your ego to discover greater than the love for which you seek already sitting right there, patiently awaiting your attention.

Don’t pray for healing, pray healing. Don’t pray for connection, pray connection.

Don’t pray for love, pray love.

Φ

By virtue of being alive, you have access to the quality for which the deepest parts of yourself yearn. Unlimited thought, unlimited freedom, unlimited feeling, unlimited being, unlimited creation, unlimited fullness.

You are divine.

Exercise the courage to know yourself. Exercise the courage to stand up. Exercise the courage to deepen, to breathe, the courage learn, to let go.

Φ

The only way we can ever hope to reach resolution of our issues is by first taking ownership of them.

By taking ownership, we empower ourselves to make change.

If everything that happens, happens today, how we choose to live each moment becomes of paramount importance.

Φ

The magnificent kingdom we used to believe in is still there, right now, within all that we are, but we have been conditioned by the dream of the planet to believe otherwise.

When we wake up to this and stop trying to be anything other than what we are, we allow ourselves the wisdom to become more than we can possibly imagine.

The degree to which we rise in consciousness by rising to the qualities and attributes of the Holy Spirit do we generate waves of peace, harmony, freedom and alignment.

Φ

We know so little about the fabric supporting matter in our universe that to suggest otherwise may be little more than a confession of psychological wounding.

Whilst quantum physics is a daunting subject, understanding one or two theoretical concepts may be beneficial for where we are about to go.

Quantum physics suggests nothing in our universe is etched in the present. The theory is, before observed, all matter exists within a state of infinite possibility (known as the waveform) and multiple location, (known as superposition), beyond the arrow of time.

Once “known,” however, this waveform of infinite possibility collapses into that which is limited. It becomes constrained to our understanding of how our universe functions.

It becomes safe. Familiar. No more “correct,” though.

Once we accept something as a reality, this infinite wavefunction collapses into a pre-defined set of possibilities.

Φ

If, according to quantum physics, everything that can happen, has happened somewhere in the infinite fabric of the cosmos—and nobody is the arbiter of truth—then we are literally co-creating our realities with every decision we make.

If everything iseverywhere, all the time, then how we choose to apply our energies becomes of utmost importance.

Φ

If we are both Creation and Creator, then our beliefs become propellants or bottlenecks.

When organised together in familiar presentation, the laws of classical physics determine the behaviour of objects. However, when we enter the quantum world, that all changes.

At the microscopic level and beyond, we are free to design our realities. It is only the accepted version of events that everyone subscribes to that largely fuels the belief that we cannot.

Our thoughts, beliefs, intentions, knowns create an environment in which our realities can manifest.

Once this is accepted, known, and acted upon, we can become intimate with ourselves and engineers of our experience.

In learning why our beliefs have collapsed reality the way it has, we take hold one of the most important tools we can use in order to engineer our experience.

In learning why our conditioning has surrendered and danced with the arrow of time to manifest our current reality we enter a whole new world of possibility.

A world whereby we become the artists.

A world in which we become the engineers.

Φ

Nature is the ideal in its infinite. It always has been, and will always, be.

Most things us humans have done have drawn us away from its perfections in an attempt to either improve upon (or, ironically, return us back to), its qualities.

But the silent force of nature wins. It always wins.

We can think whatever we want, but the noise in our heads may be preventing us from developing coherence with greater bodies. To align with the healing properties of such, we are invited to first become present. From this silent, expansive state of connection to both ourselves and the universe, we can invite into our fertile minds the reality we wish to swim within.

The trick is to work from your desired reality rather than towards it.

To co-create the reality of your vision.

To become in the “I am.”

Engage each of the senses. Trust it, believe it, make sure it’s known.

What would it first be like to embody that very reality?

Such a prayer transcends time and space to condition your mind to operate in harmony with what you desire and by habitually nurturing the reality we wish for in such a way we increase the chances of such filtering through to our subconscious mind—the ultimate builder of the body. We become co-creators of our lives.

Φ


No one individual can make known how life works, but, individually, we can know. We, the unconventional, can become shining examples of what is, ultimately, a collective expression.

Our environments—both in- and external—may be far more important to our success than we give credit. Engineer your days.

Φ

It has been argued our universe is fine-tuned for life.

If this is true, the unique realities we see the world through are simply layers settling themselves over an infinitely beneficent symphony in which our various parts are the instruments.

Understand that we are victims of our experience only so far as we believe of ourselves. By living as if we chose our circumstances, the nature of our suffering transforms.

Ask yourself, “How could this be happening for me?”

Φ

Eternal alignment;

This presence, it speaks.

Come knowing

Without knowledge.

Upon silence

We paint;

Integrate

To escape;

Ascend like the wind’s

Less intellect.

Do I see you?

Or do I see me?

Surrender only

To yourself;

For the love

You wait to receive.

For it’s too late

Before we realise,

Far too late

Before we know.

How to breathe,

How to bloom.

How to breathe,

How to grow.

The deeper we go into ourselves, the fewer choices we have, and the fewer choices we have, the freer we feel.

So, what if?

What if tonight you receive the clearest, most dynamic response from spirit that you have ever had?

What if tonight your prayers are answered beyond your wildest expectations?

What if you knew exactly what to do and when to do it?

Φ

Step into stillness. Step into silence. Let it bathe you in answers, bathe you in love—in healing. Know space; know divinity; know yourself. Know the inifinite beyond.

Φ

Life is a playground in which we play games with our attention and intention.

Feelings are the fuel which carry programmes of the mind.

The reality you desire already exists but your addiction to victimhood has prevented you from seeing it.

There may be no higher use of our time than working to better understand ourselves, knowing or otherwise.

Liberate your God.

Just forget it,

All that you’re holding;

It doesn’t even matter

In the grand scheme of things.

The grand scheme of things,

Let it bloom.

Let it bloom through you

Breathe;

Let it bloom.

Like the bud of a flower,

You are so loved.

Whilst there are several different types of pain, one of the great secrets of the medical profession is that, with issues of a mechanical nature, the body is a self-healing organism.

It implicitly knows.

That is, if you if you stop acting in a way that is unsympathetic to its natural rhythms and ensure an adequate flow of nutrients are carried through the blood, the body will right itself.

Studies have shown that pain comes exclusively from the brain, and an expectation of pain ensures that reality.

It takes courage and commitment to look within and begin learning about yourself, but answering the call may be one of the best decisions you ever made.

If you are the artist of your own life, what reality are you creating today?

UNDER CONSTRUCTION

We always return to the silence of the heart.

Whatever we are striving for may only be found in letting go.

As long as our hearts are beating we abandon certain gifts attending beyond the breath.

When the mind falls silent in the presence of awe, beauty, prayer, we discover the mind of God.
