Loving The Experience

My three year old son started playgroup today, for the last couple of days it has been all he has talked about. That really got me thinking, isn't this the way we are supposed to be as adults, embracing new experiences either good or bad. We seem to have a tendency as adults to put everything into boxes, if I consider some experiences bad I will be stressed and unhappy and if I consider other experiences good I will be happy and joyful.

We as adults have a tendency to put ourselves in situations that we consider 'stressful', and then instead of making a choice as to whether or not to accept or change the situation, we will stay in the 'stressful' situation and complain and play victim. Some people spend all their lives playing victim, never taking any responsibility for their own lives.

In a way I can't really blame these people, we live in a world were we are taught how not to be responsible. Please sign this 'waiver' this does away with any need to be responsible for your own actions!

A waiver is nothing more than a legal reason to be unconscious, being unconscious accounts for the following:

• Global Warming and Damage to the Environment
• Violence (both verbal and physical)
• Stress
• 'Accidents'
• Not being Financial Free

Are you going to keep living your life as an 'Accident' waiting to happen? Or will you start taking some responsibility for yourself and for this planet we call home?

Where we go from here is up to you.

The Office Shadow

I have been working as a Financial Administrator for a big Multinational Company for several months now, this has been my first office J.O.B in about 6 years or so. But it still never ceases to amaze me how prominent the Human Shadow is when confined to the four walls of the office. There seems to be a never ending barrage of back biting and fake love.

There is one young lady in our team that has been made the scapegoat, the team are all very nice to her face, but as soon as she is out of ear shot the comments start to flow.

Working in an office is a good place to discover just how conscious you really are, to be honest I am finding it hard work at the moment, the constant negative energy is starting to tear away at me. Each day I come to work and I am faced with the constant negative energy, I am reminded how something as terrible as what is currently happening in the middle east can occur.
A world based on fake love has always been and always will be a receipe for pain and destruction.

A lot of people are still resting under the illusion that they are in some way perfect and that it is other people who have the problem, this is a very dangerous attitude to hold.
If you want to see what happens to a person when the negativity gets to them, then may I suggest you watch the film 'Falling Down', this is abit of an extreme example but it does happen and it seems to be happening more and more.

The only solution to preventing the destruction that we are seeing on a daily basis is to learn how to integrate your shadow, without this integration then shadow projection will continue to cause havoc on this planet and it's inhabitants.

Fear of your Life

As I sit here looking out of my window, watching the world go by I can't help but wonder. Why are people in denial of the truth? I see people with pained expressions on their faces, wasting energy pretending to be something or someone they are not. Scared to show the world who they are, for fear of rejection or condemnation. They defend the castle of their deception till the day that they die, scared to be who god destined them to be. People seem to be proud that they look like they have fought a thousand battles and lost.

Just look into their eyes, you can see the pain screaming at you! I'm sorry but am I supposed to be impressed that you have spent your entire life torturing yourself? Human beings are creatures of vast energy, and we utilize that energy by repressing who we are.

Our natural birth right is to be a fully functioning loving being, repressing our love for ourselves and each other is the fastest way to deplete your energy. When people have a 'lack' of energy their first thought is 'Maybe I haven't had enough sleep' or maybe 'My diet is all wrong, maybe I should become a vegan' how many of us realise that the truth could be much closer to home? How many of us conform to what others expect just to keep the peace, or tow the line? Who's benefit is this for?

Maybe you just want a peaceful life.Do you like to dance? Most people do, it's just one of the many thing's that people repress. Their favourite song comes on the radio and they really want to get up and dance, but what stops them?

Fear!, they can't dance, now what? Instead of getting up and expressing them self as only they can, they will sit there and be miserable.Fear is a very powerful tool when used correctly, but most people will let fear turn them into a pathetic mess on the floor.

Am I saying that your weak if your scared of something? No not at all, what I am saying is that it is how you respond to what scares you. Will you adopt the mentality of a warrior or a coward? There will be times when you confront your fear, and your fear will totally trash you!

This is where the warrior mentality comes into it's own, are you going to lie on the floor feeling sorry for yourself or will you get up and try again?Next time you meet fear, take a long hard look into his eyes. You maybe surprised at what you see!

Don't let fear rule your universe.

Miss Perception Meets Mr Delusion

Why is it that what a person see's is rarely an accurate reflection of the Truth? Women seem to suffer greatly with this self induced sense of perception, when it comes to the subject of weight, women seem to view themselves as bigger than they actually are, this however seems to be the complete opposite to how men perceive themselves.

This self perception issue is not just related to weight, I have lost count of how many 'victims' of life I have had the pleasure to meet, everyone of these so called 'victims' have one recurring theme, these people will shout from the roof tops till they are blue in the face....it's not me, it's them...I never asked for this to happen!

The vast majority of people have no understanding of basic psychology, how much do you know about your own psychological make-up? Do you know why you get angry? Do you consider your anger as justified? Is it possible that your anger is in reality your own Shadow Projection? The Human Shadow isn't inherently bad, there are alot of positive aspects within the Shadow.

The Shadow is at it's most destructive when you are resting under the illusion that you are never at fault for any situation that you find yourself in. This is called Projection, you are basically externalizing everything that you feel; for example if you are feeling Angry you will Project that feeling onto an external screen (person).

That way you can justify never excepting your anger as part of who you are, you have no need because your not angry it's them!

Try this little exercise: next time you feel that you are projecting, take a moment to focus on your Breath. This is a very simple exercise, but it is also very effective when performed correctly. This exercise performs two functions, first it calms you down and second it makes you conscious of the current situation.

Once you have calmed down, you can then evaluate the current situation and make the relevant rational choice/s. When you are conscious of the Present moment there is no Stress, because you are making the conscious choice of ether accepting the current situation or changing it.
Once you have spent some time focusing on your Breath you will learn to understand and recognize your own Shadow before you Project it onto another person.

I will be explaining more about the power of the breath in future articles and writings.
