Life is neutral. And that includes war!

Kids war Zone

I posted this link http://ow.ly/lQZEG yesterday on social media with the comment:

“Helps some, but not all”. When are they going to start looking in the right direction?

This referred to the treatment that some of the children were getting (CBT and NLP) which was effective for some, but not all. My point was that the doctors and helpers were persisting using ‘outside in’ methods of treatment, which is why it was only partially effective.

One of the comments on the post stated: “I do not see how one can NOT be in fear when bullets are whizzing by your head, bombs are dropping blowing houses up, there are people laying around bleeding to death with limbs hanging off their bodies, and there is no where to hide and you could be next.”

I want to clarify this comment along with my reasoning on this post -

Fear is a response by the body, the fight or flight response to save one’s own life. This is to be expected in a war zone. The body will need to be prepared to run, not digest food and reproduce. But… will every single person who is in the war zone have the same fight or flight response? No. Would everyone agree that bombs killing a child is a bad thing? Well, I’m guessing the person who fired it might disagree there.

The FACT is, that life is neutral. It is only our THINKING about events and circumstances that creates feeling, not the feeling itself. [Talking about different parts of the body having different thinking (see post) is still pointing to the FACT that it is happening ‘inside out’.]

The reason why I keep talking about inside out all the time, is that in pointing people in this direction, there is choice. Outside in = no choice. Inside out = choice. How we react to anything… ANYTHING in the outside world, is up to us. And yes, being outside of the war zone, on a beach in Hawaii, meditating, eating good food, being loved etc is perferable (for me at least) than being shot at in a war zone. But not for everyone (see The Hurt Locker for that one).

Life is neutral. Our experience of life only works one way… inside out. See this and freedom will come your way. Point the children towards this and there will be less of a need to change their thinking and more understanding that thought is just that… thought.

When will it change, how will it change?

The same old story, the same old consequences and the same old result. This time it’s the hacking to death of a soldier in a busy London street in front of women and children, supposedly in the name of Muslims and of Islam. This was no act in the name of anything other than a misunderstanding of how these men saw their own reality and acted out upon the thoughts that they saw.

No one can account for their actions, because we all see separate realities and we have no idea what they saw to butcher a young man in the street in broad daylight. But we can assume that it was real enough to them to actually carry out this barbaric act. In the same way that it looks real for the college student to shoot class mates or a man to rape and murder a child. What can possibly be going on in someone’s head that this seems to be the correct course of action for them to take? How much misguided thinking can they be seeing within to ‘want’ to do this?

The answer is in front of you all. ‘What we see is what we get’. The thoughts that these people saw were real enough to them, to want to act upon them. They misunderstood that their own feelings of pain, despair, hatred, were coming from anything other than their misguided thinking in the moment. They ‘thought’ that the outside world was causing their pain, so they took steps to change this outside world, to change their own feelings.

And in every single case, every single time this has, and ever will happen, this will not change the feeling, Because this is NOT where the feeling comes from. The feeling is coming from thought, from inside… not outside. This misunderstanding is the key and the answer to all of these past and present – and no doubt future atrocities. THIS is the answer. Perhaps it’s time to stand up and take notice and recognise the real source of these events. Then we can start to educate the world and share this understanding. Only then, the world will begin to heal from the inside out.

Perfection is neither good nor bad, it just is

InterestingTalksIt was a privilege and an honour to be able to talk about and share an understanding of the human operating system at Interesting Talks with Matt Kendall last night at Alternatives in London’s Piccadilly. What a wonderful, beautiful group of 70 individuals. Thank you so much for your love and attention.

After the event, we went to the pub to continue discussions and I had the pleasure of talking with Hubert Greliak about the Principles. At one stage, we were discussing a point I had made during the talk about judgement, and whether good and bad should be considered thus, as this in itself is a step in the wrong direction.

Hubert mentioned the word ‘perfect’, and although I did not understand entirely what he was eluding to, he managed to get me to see his point beautifully. ‘Perfection’ is a description of ‘what is’. The very fact that it ‘is’, means it is already perfect. Good and bad therefore fit perfectly(!) within this, as they too are part of the ‘is-ness’.

Life is always playing out perfectly, whatever is happening, because it is. And in coming into being, it is perfection. There is such simplicity and beauty in this, that it can take a while to really filter in.

So thank you so much, Hubert for your wisdom. It never ceases to amaze me how much there is to learn about this truth and how much we are all teachers.

We’re all connected, until we think we’re not

A wonderful weekend of insights and friendship was nicely rounded off with some spectacular inner wisdom to be able to take forth and share with others. As ever, the way one person sees it is different from the next and so the best way to share, is via a metaphor or story. So this is what I wrote at the time:

“It’s kind of like listening to music. Why do all the notes in music not all come bunched together, if the music is in the notes? It’s the spaces between the notes that give music it’s feeling. And that’s what we’re all searching for: a feeling. Everybody in this world is looking for a good feeling. And feeling comes to us via thought. So don’t get in the way too much with a whole load of your own thinking, allow new thinking in. Take yourself out of the way. We’re all connected to that pre existing formless energy of the universe. It’s in you, and it’s in me, and when these energies connect, we’ll both get that feeling”.

Nice.

Knowing how the weather works, does not mean you can change the weather!

200 years ago, humans had the belief that the Gods were in control of the weather and so made sacrifices to try and appease them, in the hope that they would provide enough rain and sun to grow crops to survive (and not blow us into oblivion in the meantime).

Nowadays, we have a pretty good idea of how the weather works. Although we’re still not totally sure whether or not it’s being controlled by an all seeing God – we know about high and low pressure systems, the gulf streams and how these and every other meteorological aspect affect short and long term changes in our climate. We know, on a day by day, week by week and even month by month basis, what the weather will do.

Storm

 

Which is great, because we can prepare for it accordingly. We know to take a brolly with us when there’s a storm brewing. We know to take sunscreen with us when it’s going to be a scorcher. We know that we, as humans, need to cut down our production of green house gases before we melt the polar ice caps and cause some real damage. But we can’t as yet, go out and make one day rainy and the next day sunny. There’s been a number of attempts to try this, but none successful as far as I know.

And so it is with an understanding of how the human operating system works. We get to see that we’re doing it to ourselves from the inside out. We are the ones making up the feelings, via thought, in response to whatever the circumstances are out there. We are the ones who create our reality from moment to moment. Yet, it would seem, we also seem to think that we can control the system: “Tomorrow… I shall be very happy indeed!”

It simply does not work like that and why should it? If we had 365 days of sunshine a year, we would be clammering for rain, pleading in fact! Likewise, if we had downpours for a year, we’d move to Africa! We need the balance of up and down. Good and bad, rough and smooth are only words we give to the feelings we get from life… which is neutral. But they are all part and parcel of what it is to be human. Without one, we would not know the other.

So don’t feel too bad the next time you feel bad. Be grateful that those feelings are part of life and how lucky we are to have such a balanced and self correcting system. You are merely experiencing the weather system of being a human. And you can’t change that!

Watch!

True freedom is knowing you’re OK, no matter what

True FreedomI don’t need money to ‘make’ me happy. In fact, I don’t need anything to ‘make’ me happy. Because I know that happiness and sadness are also part of the illusion.

Happy or sad, I’m OK. I’ve always been OK. And I’ll always be OK. No matter what. That is true freedom…

You’ll need my permission first

YouGandhi and his followers would get beaten up by the British army after protesting about their occupation of India, but they never returned the attacks. The pain, physically hurt them badly, but his famous quote “Nobody can hurt me without my permission” was referring to his morals and beliefs.

He also meant that although the beatings hurt on the outside, they did not hurt on the inside. They did not effect his spirit. The only way they would be able to hurt this, was if he allowed them permission to do so.

So it is with our innate health and well being. It is there with us always. And the only way for it to be hurt is if we allow it to be, through our thoughts.

The illusion of separateness

Oneness

We think we’re separate, but we’re not separate.

We’ve never been separated.

We’re always connected to universal consciousness.

And that thinking that keeps coming through us, is Universal thought.

Everything that exists in the form or formless is Universal Mind, so we can’t separate from that if we tried!

We’re one.

We’ve always been one.

We’ll always remain one.

Until we think we’re not.

But that’s also just a thought…
