HI, AND WELCOME TO MY BLOG!

This site is all about CHANGE - Change with a Big 'C'

Change is the underlying theme, changing our way of thinking! For our own benefit!

We have all been 'conditioned' to comply with the requirements of our society's way of doing things.

Can we break out?

If you are ready for a whole new way of looking at the world, its environment, ourselves as human beings and everything we see around us and in our lives then you might be interested to read on! You will read of the conventional viewed from an unconventional perspective.

It is easy to carry on as we are, doing things in the ways passed down to us by our ancestors but to do so would be wasting a wonderful existence for us all in this lifetime.

From my viewpoint, change is required very soon if we are to survive as a collective of beings.

Have you often felt out of place, sort of 'out of time', even with your own family and friends? A feeling that something is 'not quite right', but you could never quite put your finger on what that something is?

Perhaps you are a fellow 'pioneer'. You may have within you a special strength to usher in what is needed, what is new, as a way of thinking.

I look forward to posting here the collective of my lifetime's experiences, personal development issues and inspirational thoughts for your reflection.

I know that, in the process, I will gain significant insights from your interaction and feedback.

I HAVE A DREAM ............

I have a dream
A wonderful dream.
I dream of a community - real community.
A model village. A model life.
A new type of living environment.
One I have not seen in this lifetime.
It is a community with high ideals of caring and
inclusion.
A place where people can be themselves – in a natural way.
A way of great gentleness and strength.
Where thoughtfulness for others is paramount.
Selfishness here is unheard of, inconceivable.
All are as one, and all know it, sense it and live it.

I have a dream.
It is a big dream but a simple one.
It is of a place where everything can be shared.
All work together for the benefit of all.
And all are connected, in harmony, with each other, within themselves, with the Earth.
It is a community where food is grown for all to use.
It is a place where all people are well in body.
Illness and disease are concepts of the past, they do not exist here.
This is reflected in the happiness of the individuals who make up this community. The community is well.
The Earth is nurtured in a natural way and all is well, for the Earth then gives back the power it receives and feeds again.

I have a dream.
In this dream I see abundance.
The landscape is full, of fruit bushes and fruit trees, of beauty and growth.
Pollution is no more, for anything that was capable of such an act is no longer used. It is unnecessary and the Earth does not need it.
People here use their own thoughts in a natural intuitive way for the benefit of all so there is no such thing as religion here. No.
Life for all Beings in this place is, indeed, one of quiet peace - peace of mind.
All care for all. All care for the Earth. All care for the environment. All Care.

I have a dream.
A beautiful dream.
No competition, there can be non when all care equally for each other.
The motivation for living is what can be done in the interests of the whole.
No animals or birds are reared for killing for they are our friends and we know it.
In this place invention comes from intuitive boundless ways of thinking. Invention that is shared and used for All, for the continuity and growth of the community - as a whole. Contentment is the order of the day.

I have a dream.
An exciting prospect.
A new beginning for a wonderful world.
Everyone is included in the making and building of whatever structures are needed for shelter.
Children learn from an early age to use their thoughts about how they, as individuals, can become useful members of the community by using their natural skills and aptitudes.
Schools are a thing of the past and we all learn what we each need as we go along.
No examinations - no one needs examining!
All capable of doing what each came to do.
All in all - All inclusive. No one left out.
Respect and caring. Harmony and grace.

I have a dream.
An expansive concept.
But more than a concept once accepted.
A pattern, a model, to build on - and more.
A world-wide community.
Communities communicating, connected in Thought with the Universal Intelligence at the heart, as the Source.
Fear has dissolved, so have anger and lust.
Guilt and resentment faded to dust!
Life is for living in a new sort of way, but wait, we’re remembering what we once used to be.
Awakening, enlivening, a True Destiny.
Enlightening our paths to a Future, To Be.

I have a dream.
A wonderful dream.
I know it exists, my dream. For I can think it. So it is.
In my vision, in my consciousness, in the vast consciousness of this Universe, to which I am connected, constantly, happily.
And my dream is provided, not only to myself but at the same time to others of like mind, so we can meet up and bring our dream to fruition.
It is a dream of many. It is not simply my dream but Soul’s dream, the dream of our Source, Our Reality.
It is ready. Now.

FEEL THE FORCE – UNIVERSAL
HEALTH, VITALITY AND
WELL BEING


Natural Health, Vitality and Well Being are issues for all of us to consider. Who wouldn’t wish to have all three in full and equal measure?
But how often do we consider that the Earth also needs to be nurtured in order that it, too, can survive and thrive with the same attributes. We are taught that the earth came about by some explosion of matter and that we are, therefore, walking ‘accidents’ evolved from slugs and monkeys. I used to consider this theory to be nonsense, and still do. So many go along with these wild imaginings, perhaps because they haven’t put their own thoughts towards the subject of how we came to be here and what it might all be for. The theory of evolution would suggest that the Earth and mankind has no purpose for existing.
I believe…. no, I am certain that, we as human beings have a purpose for living upon this Earth: individually for ourselves, collectively as a race of beings and also in association with the Earth, a vital part of a wonderful system that we call the Universe, the vast Intelligent Being that is our Soul. The Earth needs us to care for it and give it the same consideration we might give to ourselves.
At present, mankind in general is neither extending this caring consideration to himself or his fellow man, let alone to his Earth. A few kindnesses here and there, but this is not real caring.
Why, then, don’t we know what we are here for, if there is a purpose?
The answer lies in the fact that we have not been allowed to listen to, and use, our own natural thoughts, from the time of our birth, due to the combined influences of all those who lived before us, who set down the rules of society, and also those in our early life who made us follow those same rules, because they also thought they and we had to. They saw no other choice or better way. The gradual process of conditioning and indoctrination has been building up for ages of time until we now have no recollection of what life is all about. Yet we can see that individually people are searching for true purpose.
What we see happening in front of our eyes is the race of man making up all manner of artificial purposes for living his life. But in this non-harmonious clashing of patterns of thinking and acting (i.e. everbody’s self-interest rather than genuine and harmonious inter-action for the collective good) the resulting chaos shows itself in all aspects of our daily lives.
Man has free choice to carry on in this way and does so now because he doesn’t see an alternative. Is he looking for one? I would say that many are! The so-called ‘leaders’ of man have no better idea of what life is all about, for they were brain-washed like everyone else.
So, begin to watch out for alternative ways of living and acting in this wonderful world. Listen with an open mind that might allow new ideas to form in your mind, beyond anything you might have thought of or been taught.
BODY AND SOUL


I want to talk to you about your body!
I’m sure there will have been lots of other people in the past who have wanted to talk about your body! But I would like to mention it in a different sort of way.
I’m speaking here - from my Soul, and these are statements that resonate with my Soul and I hope they will resonate deeply in you, to the depths of your own Soul.
So I want to talk to you about your body.
And I will also mention my own body too, just so you know that what I say about your body applies equally to mine as well !
Your body is a vehicle, a machine for living in.
Le Corbusier, the French architect, described the house as “a machine for living in”.
I refer to my body as “a machine for living in.”
It is a wonderful piece of design.
Your body ‘contains’ you, like a house; it stands firmly on the ground; you can see out of it, your eyes are the windows of your soul.
Like a house, it has an efficient central heating system, driven by the breath and it has an amazing wiring system, each tiny section of it being linked to the control centre – the brain – the nerve centre, a receiving set for thought impulses.
You might look upon my body, that I consider to be a most wonderful piece of design, and you may make certain judgements about it, or not as is your way. You may think I’m kidding myself about my body – what have you been looking at all these years – Yuk! you might say!!
But I have to tell you that “I love my body”.
Yes I love it.
Not in a narcissistic way, being in love with
myself in a vain sort of way; not that at all.
But I look down at my body, I see it in the mirror and I see REAL beauty – a beautiful design, a magnificent machine. My body is here for me to use during my lifetime and therefore it suits my Purpose.
Purpose! You say. I’ve heard that word before, and I say to you also that that too is a beautiful thing. Purpose.
What is Purpose? What is my Purpose? Do I have a Purpose? Is it relevant? Is it necessary to consider that there is a Purpose?
Well, I believe it is relevant and necessary.
And what’s more, I need my body to enable me to carry out my purpose. Without my body I do not exist on this Earth, I have not incarnated, therefore my Purpose cannot be expressed.
Therefore my body and my Purpose are inextricably linked. One depends upon the other. To carry out my life’s Purpose, whatever that might be, requires me to inhabit a body.
My body, therefore, is Important. To Me. It is important to the smooth and efficient execution of my Purpose.
Whatever your life’s Purpose may be - you need your body in order that you too can carry it out. Effectively.
AN EXERCISE Just for a moment or two - consider yourself - Inside your Body. Your body is beautiful. It is wonderful. You can do all manner of things with it.
Now hold up your right hand in front of you and look at it. Really look at it.
Then bend your thumb - and straighten it. Now bend your index finger - and straighten it. Then your middle finger the same.
To enable you to do such a simple task, what had to happen?
You needed to HAVE A THOUGHT.
You needed to use that thought to activate the finger.
Do it again only this time just bend your thumb really slowly, very controlled, and back again.
Then bend it quickly and back.
Notice the slightly different type of thought that you had to receive, and then use, in the two actions.
You were putting Thought into Action.
Okay, so back to our body as a whole.
We inhabit a body, and I term it “a machine for living in”.
And we activate the body by the use of thought. Fascinating isn’t it.
Simple yet wonderful, and most of the time we take it for granted. We expect it to respond at any particular moment, and it complies - much of the time. If we have the thoughts, and our body is in fairly okay condition, we can put the thoughts into action and off we go ……….bending our fingers for no apparent reason!!
So a reminder - we have a body, It’s our home in this lifetime, we activate it by using thoughts and we can put it to use for carrying out our Purposeful Existence. Doing things for a reason.
So off we all go, activating our body, thinking of things to do, twiddling our fingers, getting on with our daily lives.
A Brilliant Super-Efficient System.
As we get on with our life, we hardly give our body a thought, sometimes hardly know it’s there!, so engrossed have we become in our thinking and doing, taking it all for granted. This body that is activated by thought - we hardly give it a thought! It automatically responds to our instructions. So quick. So efficient.
Now…. we are so busy, busy, busy getting on with our lives, using millions and millions of thoughts every day, even for the most mundane of tasks, and we are so engrossed with it all, the sense impressions we receive, listening to the words people say, doing the things we are doing at any particular time, that after many years in the doing all this automatic stuff, we are not really thinking, or considering, the types or qualities of thought we are putting into use to activate our bodies.
So habitual have our body responses to our thought processes become, that we have trained ourselves to ignore many of those activating processes of thought and we are not actually aware of whether those processes are as efficient as they could be. Even the thought processes that we have been Conditioned to use are so habitual that we are not
always Aware of what is happening in our body.
As we have seen with this super-efficient machine it works well for us, especially when we use clear thought (remember moving the thumb slowly) beautifully smooth and gentle. But we all know that when we are constantly in a state of Tense Thought Usage our body, for some reason, can respond in a way that does not always feel smooth and gentle. What happens then? What happens when there are continuous jarring un-smooth thought processes going on in our mind?
Do we feel wonderful? No we don’t. Our body now responds in a not-so-gentle way - we get a twinge, a pain, a stabbing feeling. Or a knot in our stomach or ‘butterflies’.
These physical reactions, when we notice them, are showing us a little (at first) that we are using un-smooth thoughts, jarring ways of thinking and of putting those thoughts into action.
A Physical Re-action is the result.
How many of us have experienced some kind of physical reaction in our bodies as a result of
“un-cool” thoughts and actions?
How many of us have ignored such messages in our bodies?
Yes, this is our body’s way of relaying necessary messages back to us when we give it the wrong type of thought impulses.
And I mention the word ‘wrong’ on purpose.
Because this body of ours is the Super-Efficient machine, which if handled and Used and
Activated in accordance with the Purpose it was
designed for, will give good and pain-free service for the whole of our life. Yes, it was designed to carry out the necessary tasks our soul wishes it to carry out. It is WE who are ignoring our body’s messages.
Will we ever listen? And will we act upon the messages we hear?
If we don’t, and I would say that looking around me in life at the bodies I see every day of my life, that mainly WE DO NOT LISTEN!
We are so Conditioned to hear only our Emotional Track of Thinking that we have become so addicted to, that we no longer hear our body, less still our thoughts,; and even when we do feel it, are FORCED to do so by the undue Pain and Illness that results from our uncaring ways, we do not really GET THE MESSAGE.
We are taught to rely on someone else to SORT US OUT when in fact it is we who can sort
ourselves out with a bit of different type of
training.
So my message is this : -

Begin to Listen To Your Body and Ask It
What Message it Has For You.
Ask it What your lifestyle is Creating Within It.
Our Body Never Lies.
The Answers to Our Questions Lie Within.


So, To Summarise : -
Your body is a machine for living in.
It is a wonderful piece of design.
Your body suits your Purpose.
Body and Purpose are Inextricably linked.
Your Body is Important.
Thought Activates the Body
It is a Brilliant Super-Efficient System
It operates best when we use Smooth Clear
Gentle Thought
If we use Tense Uncaring Thought - Our body Responds in a Similar way
We get a Physical Re-Action. This is a Message.
Often we ignore the messages. We do not listen.
The more Emotional the Thought, the Stronger the Reaction
Pain and Illness result from Consistently Ignoring the Messages


So next time you feel a twinge or a pain or you have an illness - go inside to the source of the pain and ask your Inner Self, ask yourself, what is the message that your body is trying to relay to you via this feeling?
You may be surprised at the answer you receive.

Your Enlightenment is Within Your Own Thoughts, Within your Body.
Listen To Them!

FOOD FOR THOUGHT


The “experts’ ” advice about the food that we eat, to try to keep us in the best of health, has been an important aspect of dietary advice for decades, yet the incidence of serious illness has multiplied at an alarming rate. Clearly existing mainstream strategies are not working. If they were, people who followed such regimes would be living with perfect health until they reached the ends of their lives.
Whatever method we adopt, the only true proof needed is that it works. Either it does, or it doesn’t. We are interested only in what works. It is also obvious, when you really look at what is happening in the world, that so many other aspects of life are just not working either. What with pollution and devastation of the Earth, poverty and disease, warring nations and violence on our streets, it is clear that a high degree of uncaring thought is put into action by people the world over. Individually, some might say “I’m okay” but the imbalance the world over could be described as grotesque.
I pose this question - Is it time for a radical re-think about how we are interacting with every aspect of life on this earth? Including each other?
If you believe that we, as beings, are linked to each other, all parts of the same vast Intelligence, then it is only intelligent that we must consider every other person on this planet as a part of ourselves, and act accordingly.
Food for thought - and a healthy planet.
